Just played as far as the phalanx boss and loved every second of it. Despite it being old and even the devs admitting to making it remain clunky (they wanted to preserve as much of the feel of the game as possible), it actually feels sleek as hell. I thought that might be because it's 60 FPS, but nope! Scholar of the first sin was also 60 FPS and that game felt bad.
So far I think it balances the feeling of familiarity with being new and exciting all over again. I voted 86-90 because most remakes go down a notch or two (so my official prediction is 87), but hot damn this is a good game. I could see it doing 90+, just like Bloodborne.
I still think Dark Souls 1 and 3 are better games, but I won't hold that against it. This is still an absolute winner. Now if only I could get the remote play functionality to work.
