An admirable update to a classic game, with a few caveats. Sadly, this new version runs pretty poorly on older systems, so if your rig ran Dark Souls just fine, that doesn't mean it will run Remastered without problems. Framerate and slowdown are big issues, with places like New Londo getting as low as 17fps on my machine.

Otherwise, there have been several quality of life improvements, notably the ability to change Covenants at bonfires now, but sadly still lacking the ability to warp to any bonfire like in the sequels. You're still restricted to just the handful of warpable bonfires.

In all, I recommend it as an update to the classic game. However, if you have the old game and are considering getting this one, only do so if you plan on playing it with a friend who doesn't own the original. Otherwise, don't bother.
