Prior to release, rumour (and the odd interview with From staff) had it that the port would be locked at 720p. This brings with it a number of issues some of which can be solved, others that may have been necessary and one or two that PC users are going to find particularly galling. Well, the short answer is Dark Souls is a bare-bones port. You’re here to find out whether this PC port is up to scratch though, aren’t you? Not to hear about my newb-ish traumas with Bell Tower Gargoyles and Darkroot Basin. Even if I’d debased myself by perusing and abusing strategy guides, the chances of completing such a notoriously punishing title in roughly three days would’ve been slim. It’s my first time playing the game crowned by fellow IncGamers staff as the best of 2011, and the review code only unlocked late on Thursday.
My sins must be heard: I have not finished Dark Souls.
