Thanks to the efforts of one glorious modder, there’s a whole new reason to play Dark Souls again. The Seamless co-op mod, released in April, lives up to its name just like it did for Elden Ring. No longer do you have to suffer FromSoftware’s bizarre multiplayer functionality—you can finally take an uninterrupted road trip through Lordran with your friends like god intended, and I lost a whole weekend doing just that.
Dark Souls deserved this all along. It’s a multiplayer game at heart: Playing solo you’ll run into the ghosts of other players sitting by bonfires or eating it to some nearby monster. There are factions dedicated to helping others out. Cooperation and community are embedded in its DNA, and it’s a shame that FromSoftware’s implementation of co-op is so damn fussy.
