Dark souls best experienced blind first. Unless u are really stuck.
The best way to feel pride & accomplishment whenever u beat a boss.
My tips though, upgrade your gear, it help a lot.
As for Dark Souls 2 remaster, scholar of the first sin kinda did that with directx 10 iirc. Although I dont recommend new player to play this as the enemy encountered was changed drastically so that old player have something new. DLC for this is my favourite though (Artorias & Manus is good fight, but i believe i enjoyed those 3 DLC from DS2 more, i didnt touch DLC for DS3).
I would use reshade in the future if i want to play the game again, assuming there arent any lag or technical glitch.
Game Finished:
Rise & Shine
There is no use if your game have superb artwork, good music and a game mechanic but you have terrible gameplay design, several quirky issue and "cat-mario" like bullshit. I think I raged more than Im enjoying the game. It is not that hard, but because of several stupid design, it made the game really unbearable.
Luckily game only 2 hours, but yet it took me like 3 months to finally take some times and finish this. Do i recommend? No.
Other alternative : Hell Yeah! did better job with goofyness artwork and game mechanic. Rocketbirds also kinda similar with quirky artstyle. I hate myself to say this at least Pewdiepie : Legend of the Brofist have more better designed game (although not action platformer with gun) with quirky dialogue.
