Dark Souls Remastered out early on Steam

Prepare to Die again. Dark Souls Remastered is out now on Steam, releasing one day earlier than the expected 25th May date. Players can now download the game, which is 6.4GB in download size. It is unknown at this time if this was a mistake in the localisation of Dark Souls or something to do with timezones, but it's certainly a treat to pick up such an anticipated game a day early; fans of the series will certainly be excited.

Dark Souls has already made it onto the Steam store page. But the mixed reviews are a concern. Source: Steam screenshot.

As it stands on Steam, the game is experiencing mixed reviews; many of these are due to the context of the game itself being a remaster that a lot of gamers feel they shouldn't be paying to get. A few more cite issues in performance, which is indeed worrying given the game's chequered history on its PC ports. Other reviews cite a high number of hackers are already in the game and ruining the multiplayer element. Time will tell as to whether these mixed reviews on the PC edition are indeed justified, but for now, it's certainly exciting that the game is available before its supposed release.
