Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2018
This is the 1st AAA Bandai Namco game that I got for the Switch. And it's actually the first time I've ever played a Dark Souls game. I did try out the Network Test version of the demo before this game came out. And the final version runs pretty well on Switch. Shout outs to Youtubers like RGT85, SpawnWave, Dreamcast Guy, and online sites like IGN and Nintendo Life who gave this game a recommendation.Of course no spoilers, expect to die a lot and there will be frustrations. But you will figure out to learn from your mistakes and how to pull off strategies to beat your opponents and bosses in the game. And once you've beaten certain bosses that were tough as nails, you may feel a sense of great accomplishment.This version may not have great graphics and better visuals like on other platforms like the PS4, PC, and XBOne. But it still runs great on Switch! On handheld & tabletop mode it runs at 720p 30fps. And on docked (TV mode) it runs at 1080p 30fps.So far, I've put over 375 hours on this game, even though I haven't reached the final boss. Can't wait to try this game online to play with friends. This just became one of my favorite games on Switch, next to TLOZ: Breath of The Wild which I'm still currently playing on Wii U. Taking this game on the go is a plus whether you're offline or online. Overall, I highly recommend this game to hardcore gamers and to gamers who just want a bit of a challenge! ;)Update: 6/13/2019 - So far I've logged in over 580 hours. And (spoilers) after finally reaching the final boss which took me five to over six tries, I have finally beaten the game for the first time! Whew, what a relief! Thanks again to Bandai Namco and FromSoftware. They've made a great classic action/rpg video game. Thanks to them for releasing this for the first time on Nintendo's console, a hybrid console, Nintendo Switch! Can't wait to replay this game again. (Spoilers) Just found out after beating the game, I get to use all the items, and weapons that I've acquired from the first game on my second playthru. Definitely, game deserves 5/5 Stars!! ;)
