I will describe here in note form how I hold SotFS as a 1A successful edition and this aspect also in the appeared a year ago only.
Why do I seriously 5 star for a new edition of a game that I have been in the original?
- Better lighting effects because now I need at my monitor settings in many areas definitely the torch
- Slightly improved textures (would have liked a little more desirable)
- Opponents placements revised (game is slightly heavier and the placements are meaningful in Lore-respect)
- Other players in multiplayer (ok Bossrape is nothing for me, but so that acts then mostly: P)
- You paid if one has DS2 and all DLC ONLY for the upgrade which costs 15 euros / 20 euros if no DLC available
- Items which require specialization now be found earlier, thus precisely in the area of magic a great improvement
- Despite 700h experience in title and all success and no death and no bonfire run (successfully) I often come to my limits and finally died a little more often again :).
I would like to say that I got myself Blood Born and SotFS and compared DS2 gives me a lot more fun than Blood Born. Blood Born is just too easy, too little variety in terms of equipment and still far Linear ... the graphics are of course much better, but it came with in the Soul games, which I did. All of possession never
Hope my review and brief descriptions could help you more than that you read from the two which only the items and have never even spent more than 1 hour in the game.
