The aspects that "didn't age well" aren't in the game anymore. Go back and play even the remaster with improved QOL features and controls and that is apparent. The difficulty in this is just as much of a breath of fresh air that dark souls was and we can use more shooters/immersive sims like it. Nightdive also did what they set out to do and that was remake the game, not do a retelling like so many other games have people confused for what a remake is.
