Reviews
- Dark Souls für die Switch bietet eine beeindruckende Portierung mit stabilen 30 FPS und einer ansprechenden Grafik im Handheld-Modus.
- Das Gameplay bleibt dem Original treu und bietet die herausfordernde Erfahrung, die Fans der Reihe erwarten.
- Die Steuerung ist gut an die Joycons angepasst, und das Spiel ist ideal für unterwegs, was es zu einer großartigen Wahl für Switch-Besitzer macht.
- Die Soundqualität ist stark komprimiert und klingt blechern, was das Spielerlebnis beeinträchtigen kann, insbesondere bei Verwendung von Kopfhörern oder externen Lautsprechern.
- Die Vertauschung der Tastenbelegung (A und B) kann verwirrend sein und erfordert eine Eingewöhnung für Spieler, die an andere Switch-Spiele gewöhnt sind.
- Es gibt technische Probleme wie gelegentliche Framerate-Einbrüche und Bugs, die das Spielerlebnis trüben können.
