What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The switch pro controller is one of the best controllers ever to play dark souls with along with the ps4 controller. Dark souls is a favourite game for many, and for myself it was a game that got me through a difficult time upon its original release.
The sound is awesome. The game itself is fantastic. I'd suggest you look into the type of game it is if you're a first time player of the genre.

There are two things to be aware of first the control scheme is the same as as on the xbox or playstation meaning the bottom most button on the switch b is the activate button and might throw people use to xbox controls as that b button is somewhere else so the prompts might throw some people

If you don’t enjoy challenging games or have no interest in figuring out mechanics then this is not for you
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The game is clearly based on the old console generation version and not the remastered version released earlier this year for ps4 and xbox one consoles

In that way you could argue its the best game on the switch edge magazine did recently declare it the greatest of all time but that does feel like cheating on an old port
