Dark Souls: Remastered
Finished! This is my third time through Dark Souls (first two times were on PS3), but first time through the remastered version. In a fit of nostalgia I played through as a Pyromancer, as this was the class I used when I first beat the game on PS3. This time I decided to make the ultimate Pyro and it was a lot of fun really exploring this class—for example, this time I around I gained an appreciation for how powerful the short-range combustion spells are.
What more can be said about this amazing game? Excellent all around. You'd think it wouldn't be good for replays due to being somewhat linear and long, but playing as a different class can really change how the game plays—and plus, there are so many secrets all over the place you almost always end up finding something new on a replay.
It's not perfect of course. The final 15% of the game pales in comparison to the first 85% with some seemingly half-finished locations (the run from Crystal Caves to Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith is a real drag) and by far the worst boss in the game, the Bed of Chaos, which relies heavily on luck even when you know exactly how to defeat it.
On the other hand, the DLC areas and bosses are all excellent so if you save those for last the game ends on a high note.
