DO NOT BUY Dark Souls Remastered on Switch

Bought Dark Souls Remastered on Switch OLED at 50% off after selling his Steam Deck, seeking portable Elden Ring gameplay. His 500 Elden Ring hours make the combat, leveling, loot, and online features feel identical, but older and more limited. Internet-dependent loading and saving frustrates him; he recommends it only on sale, especially for newcomers lacking another portable Souls option.

His purchase reinforces a recurring trade-off: travel portability and cheaper hardware versus performance, novelty, and offline independence.
