Dark Souls is an absolute classic at this point. This remaster (and removal of Games for Windows "features") has given this title a permanent spot in libraries and top 10 lists on PC. Gone are the days of wondering if your computer is about to explode when descending into Blight Town (no matter what rig or console you used to have, this section slowed down to about 10 fps across the board).

I love this game, I love this series. Dark Souls never "cured my depression" or anything like you will see claimed over and over when we start to talk about "hard" games, but it did teach me a new - more satisfying way to play challenging video games. Ever since Demon's Souls on the PlayStation 3, I don't think From Software had made a less than amazing game (yes, even Dark Souls II is amazing - in a MUCH different way).
