Second least favorite, right after Dark Souls 2. I don’t want to be too harsh on it, it was their first souls game and there are a lot of blueprints for future stuff they made that got vastly improved later on. The Shrine of Storms and The Swamp place feel difficult in the sense of simply testing your patience and how much dumb bs you can take, the other places were fine. The bosses were definitely the weakest part of this experience. Many are lame, most are boring, and some are fucking god awful.

I guess I could also criticize the fact that this is supposed to be a “remake”, which is a bit of a joke since the only thing they really remade was the graphics and hardware, with some quality of life stuff. They could’ve done so much more, improved the boss fights, fixed some cheeses you can do, revamp some of the levels more, and maybe add that mysterious sixth area that never got finished.
