10 Best Areas In Dark Souls: Remastered - Ranked

5. Anor Londo

The most famous, or rather, infamous level in Dark Souls, Anor Londo is actual a little bit 'meh' in terms of area design. It's quite linear and not exactly exceptional on the scale of Dark Souls level design. But there is a reason it is so well known. Anor Londo is just memorable.

Its reputation is a result of the entire game that preceded it. After spending hours in dismal depressing areas, you arrive at the splendour of the city and it hits you like a truck. It is so gorgeous and outstanding in contrast to the rest of the game that it makes the several beatings you received early appear worth it.

It may be unfair in places and a little uninspired in others, but it is so impactful in its presentation and implementation that it deserves to be on this list. It's just really special. Especially with the remaster bumping the graphics up.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
