Where the game once struggled to hit 30 frames (or where it clawed to reach even half that threshold), Dark Souls: Remastered doesn't miss a beat. Thankfully, it also means that notoriously intensive environments like Blighttown, The Depths, and other formerly sluggish hells finally have their shit together.
Less janky graphics don't remove some hit detection issues inherent in the game's design, but it does mean more confident ripostes and backstabs - and better animation reads on pesky enemies like balder knights, painting guardians, and infested ghouls. In fact, gameplay is so silky that I’ve not run into so much as a stutter. In my roughly 40 hours with the game, I still have yet to encounter any noticeable framerate drops. From the game's opening sequence to its end, it's obvious that Dark Souls: Remastered takes full advantage of current-gen power. If you were worried Dark Souls: Remastered wouldn't run at a buttery-smooth 60fps at 4K (or more technically, 1800p upscaled/60), you can put your concerns to a fecund bed. Some, for better or worse, firmly fall into the neither-positive-nor-negative category of "meh." The most noticeable differences come on the graphical front, while others can be found in the game's PvP elements. OG Dark Souls players will find that almost everything in the remaster is exactly as they remember it: enemies are in the same locations, bosses are just as difficult, and exploration is just as important.īut the word "remaster" itself entails change - and not every tiny detail of Lordran is the same.
Or in other words: praise the sun this remaster isn't a dud. It's good news, then, that the ethos of what made the original so timeless is at the core of Dark Souls: Remastered.
