All in all, Dark Souls is a more difficult, but less enjoyable (and less accessible) Demon's Souls.

Just as any masochist will tell you, with great pain comes great rewards. Dark Souls is the gaming equivalent, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Extreme difficulty, online interaction and totally absorbing atmosphere – you will hate and love Dark Souls to death but you will not be able to quit...for a very long time. [Nov 2011]

Después de haberlo droppeado termine Dark Souls. JUEGAZO, es mi top 3 de la saga por ahora. Si no fuera por sus caminos insoportables para llegar a los jefes y su gameplay tosco seria un 10, pero lo demás es buenísimo, los jefes, las zonas, los npcs que te dan ganas de seguir las quests de los buenos que están, y su historia muy piola. Tiene algo que aunque te de bronca seguir jugando te quedas igual de lo bueno que esta. Mega god.

Dark Souls is a neat, die-hard and time-consuming game – aside from its predecessor the only one of its kind. This game is not for everyone – that's not a flaw, but a virtue.

Dark Souls is a game for many hours and one of the most intriguing journeys this year. But unlike most games, it's not a trip to a lovely holiday resort where all your whishes come true. On the contrary - From Software's game doesn't want for you to get to know it. But after some hard work and battling all the odds you get to the end. And then you know: it's an experience that will stay in your memory for a long time.

On a deeper level, Dark Souls' audacity at shoving you into an adventure, giving you a colossal world to explore, and forcing you to earn every speck of progress is downright exhilarating.

I expect Dark Souls will sell more copies than its predecessor, but I'm sure many won't know what to make of this curious title. It harkens back to the days when our parents bought us a game and we played it all summer.

Dark Souls is a epic adventure-RPG for hardcore gamers. This game is hard, sometimes a little bit frustrating. But, when you do make it and kill a boss it gives you such satisfaction that no other game can give you. With some fantastic online options, atmospheric worlds, haunting game concepts and mechanics and an unconventional control scheme, Dark Souls is a little jewel.

Hard is hard. Though greatly satisfying at times, Dark Souls consists of many hours of pure frustration.

Dark soul ses pas jeux pour tout le monde mais le level design est incroyable l'histoire et mémorable et pour plein d'autres raisons pour moi résumé dark soul a sa difficulté sa n'as aucun sens il y a tellement plus qu'un simple RPG difficile mais je vous laisserai découvrire l'histoire par vous même et bonne chance pour la merveilleuse et douloureuse aventure des souls.

disgustingly overrated. the movement is clunky, the bosses are bad, the second half of the game (and some part of the first half) is bad, build variety is limited, weapons and spells are unbalanced.

Absolutely horrendous frame rate. Some areas are borderline unplayable. Such a disgrace coming from the spiritual successor of Demons Souls. Not sure how this game is rated so high
SummaryProject Dark (Working Title) is a brand new dark fantasy RPG designed to completely embrace the concepts of tension in dungeon exploration, fear in encountering enemies, the joy of new discoveries, and a high sense of achievement in progressing. The game is set in a dark fantasy world filled with decadent atmosphere, with a heavy emphasi... Read More
