Final Recommendation

Purchase Dark Souls legally – it supports the developers and ensures a safe, complete experience. If storage space is the concern, invest in an external drive or use Steam’s “move install folder” feature. For the truest “compressed” experience, the Remastered version is already optimized and smaller than the original + DLCs.

Final Summary

Pros:

I understand you're looking for Dark Souls for PC in a highly compressed format. However, I need to provide some important guidance first.

Note on Repacks: When you download a highly compressed version, your system will need temporary space equal to the compressed file + the uncompressed data during installation. Ensure you have at least 6 GB of free space temporarily.
