10. Dark Souls Remastered
When Dark Souls was initially released in 2011, it breathed new life into the RPG genre and set gamers off on a journey that they’d remember for life. The game was punishing and cruel, but the level of reward that came with fighting bosses and persevering was pure euphoria. Dark Souls made you want to be better… if you managed to get through it without throwing your controller out of the window.
The remaster cleans up the graphics and technical aspects of the game and irons out many of the issues around the playability of certain levels in the original. Being able to play Dark Souls on the Nintendo Switch not only adds to the immersion but let's seasoned players relive the experience without it seeming too familiar.
The handheld experience creates a different enough experience for gamers without seeming unsuited for the gameplay.
Dark Souls has always been about treasuring the little achievements and taking great pride in every success, and this first game in the franchise was possibly the series at its best in that way. It’s a definite must buy for both lovers of the RPG genre and those who like their games to be challenging.
