A colour reshading can really change the tone of Dark Souls 3

What would Dark Souls 3 look like if you replaced all of the drab greys and browns with something a little more colorful? It actually looks very different indeed, losing a lot of its grim lustre and replacing it with something more akin to an abstract painting.

This is all thanks to the efforts of modders, who have created game changing mods like the 50 Cell-Shades of Dark Souls mod, which transforms it into quite a colorful, relaxing atmosphere. Of course the combat is still as punishing as ever, but perhaps you'll feel a little more relaxed with a bright blue suit of armour and clear skies above.

"Really fancied making a tooned-up Reshade for Dark Souls," says the mod developer (via PCG). "It's came out really well, so if you feel like a change, and like animation, then give it a try."

There are of course a lot of reshading mods for Dark Souls 3 which give it a very distinct look and this is just one of them, but it's quite impressive what a few colour tweaks can do to the tone of a game, changing fundamentally how it feels and what it's like to play. Similar mods for other games aren't quite so impactful, since they lack that colour palette change up, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Do you guys have any favorite reshading or reskinning mods will change the way you play it?
