Story

18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A decent standalone story that holds together better than Ds1 and DS3 but thats given the other 2 too much credit.
Graphics

Map design, story, graphics, bosses, fluidness, progression, mechanics, are all what you would expect from a souls like developed by FS, so if you enjoy the struggle and don't mind mobbing, I'd encourage you to try it before making up your mind according to others.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Mom got me this game when I was 14 on the Xbox 360, it had uncapped FPS so it was the first time I experienced 40 FPS and it felt SOO good, multiplayer was fun and every buiild was viable.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I would say to anyone who is unsure to take the plunge (especially now there are seamless co-op mods) and see if its for you.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Both games are the same price, and both come with all of the DLC and run at 60 fps, and buying this version will give you the option to grab the "upgraded" version for a discount.
