    Auch wenn es ein sehr schwieriges Spiel ist: jeder tot hat mich dazu motiviert besser zu sein. Ich hatte keine Probleme mit dem Spiel, bis auf dass das Combat System extrem langweilig ist (teilweise). Sonst alles tiptop, konstante 60fps Leistung mit 4K

    I rated the original 10 but since Bluepoint unnecessarily changed some characters, in a bad way, this game lose one point
    still a must to play tho!

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovated, but perhaps not in the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguable so.

    Beautiful remake graphic wise but that’s about it. The mechanics still felt outdated which makes it fall short from its competition. If you loved the game in its PS3 days or like souls like games and haven’t tried this one, this will make a fine edition to your library but otherwise be warned, you will die a lot and have to hunt for the story.    … Expand

    A remake of the very first "Souls"-Game. Bluepoint tried to stay as close to the original as possible, while upgrading the graphics immensely. They definitely made a few additions but at its core its still Demon's Souls. Most of the time this is great...sometimes it's the reason to potentially not buy this game.

    Story is 100% the same as before, which is nice.

    Areas and Bosses are pretty much 1 to 1 as in the original and that's where the problem arises.
    Some designs are outdated and straight up more annoying than fun.

    Gimmick Bossfights are not a rare occasion in this one. Sometimes you have to run around a giant arena, trying to not be found by some big ass boss, who can only be killed by reaching point A and point B. While running to those he one shots you if he sees you and you do the same **** again...and the indicator when he sees you is really bad. The other time a Boss flies over your head and you have to wait until he is in range for you. Even then you can randomly miss him. Yea...fun...15 minutes hit or miss fight...as said, those two are not the only ones designed like this. Most of the bosses are easy and/or gimmicky. Those who aren't are very fun though.

    If you are a souls-fan anyway and/or want to see the roots of the game franchise you should pick this up. Otherwise I would rather buy Elden Ring, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro. Especially because you get more game for your money. Demon's Souls is quite short, compared to those three games previously mentioned.    … Expand

    Never played the PS3 version but the game is great. Only problems are: too short and some underwhelming boss fights. This is a remake of a game from 2009 so it’s flaws are mostly understandable. Highly recommend for souls fans. Oh and the visuals are top tier of the generation.

    What can you say? It's Demon's Souls remade. Awesome game from start to finish and excellent boss fights. However the mechanics feel a bit dated in comparison to today's standards, which prevents it from being a 10 imo.

    Pros
    1. A true Next-gen showcase
    2. Satisfying combat encounters
    3. The world tendency system is cool
    Cons
    1. Since it's a Remake of a PS3 game, the mechanics sometimes feel dated
    2. Magic is way too overpowered and it makes a joke of the toughest boss encounters in the game.

I own Dark Souls III but never finished it, due to difficulty, perhaps due to my young age and gaming inexperience at the time.

    The    Intro: I'm 13 hours in, thanks to playstation plus extra's game catalogue. I own Dark Souls III but never finished it, due to difficulty, perhaps due to my young age and gaming inexperience at the time. I was slightly dreading playing demons souls, but wanting to try as many games as possible, and seeing the good-looking trailers and reviews, I decided to anyway. And what a game.

    The good stuff: Everything feels well planned and structured. Everything seems to have a purpose. I kept thinking about the decisions that the developers made as i played. it is such a cohesive experience. from the story to the enemies to the locations, everything makes sense. it's all so logical and i cannot stop thinking about the game even when i'm off. The maiden in black keeps all the candles in the nexus lit and grants levelling up as well. Even the English and Scottish accents seemed fitting and logical to have as the main VA accents in this world. Indeed the game is not easy, but it makes winning so much more satisfying than in most games. The nexus is audibly and physically beautiful. The various maps that you can teleport too are also graphically impressive. The same goes for any living creature. The variety of weapons is awesome. The stats are addictive and fun to upgrade. The sound design is great- like your shield being hit or the the rattling of enemy armour, or even the sound of miners hitting rock or metal with their pickaxes. The filter and photo mode options are great to have.

    things that could have been improved: lip-sync seemed exaggerated and therefore unrealistic despite seeming correct. The lock on range was not great, but then, weirdly, for the dragon (which surprised me), it worked from very far away, so clearly the devs have allowed an exception once you go to the stairs near it, which was a good thing to do, and I wish they had found a way to improve the lock on feature at all times not just in that scenario. The game would often lock-on late, which handicaps the gameplay of spell caster for example. Also, i am craving for more lore/story... Finally, I personally didn't understand the need of having human and soul forms in the game. A better explanation of what they are might have justified its presence in-game to me.

    In conclusion: I have no major complaints about the game. One of the best true next gen. titles alongside horizon FW, spider man MM, Ghostwire Tokyo, and God of war Ragnarok, at least graphically. The gamepplay is addictive, focused, cohesive, and liberating/allows for creativity at the same time. The fantasy/dark ages theme is well implemented. The first map is a massive, gorgeous castle guarded by two dragons, a huge knight boss, and countless other knights and zombies, and then you return to the nexus which is like a church safe haven, which is peaceful yet haunting, reminding you of the dystopian world that awaits outside. I give this game 88/100.    … Expand

    dopo un primo livello tutto sommato fattibile la mia avventura terminò subito dopo, quando un messaggio a terra mi diceva il vero demon's souls comincia ora.

    dopo un primo livello tutto sommato fattibile la mia avventura terminò subito dopo, quando un messaggio a terra mi diceva il vero demon's souls comincia ora.
    quello che mi attendeva dopo quella nebbia era un ponte crudele, dove un drago mi uccideva continuamente sputandomi fuoco, e quando arrivavo a superare quel dannato ponte i nemici prima del boss mi avrebbero terminato.
    le poche volte che arrivo dal boss mi prendevo uno scudo da diverse tonnellate addosso e dovevo ripartire da capo.
    svariate mori più avanti decisi di eliminare il titolo.
    i mesi passarono e dark souls diventava sempre di più un titolo di culto. con molti video che spiegavano come il titolo era più accessibile del previsto, ma io non potevano comprarlo.
    prima dovevo finire demon's souls.
    e così iniziai la mia seconda run sul titolo e finalmente a gennaio 2014 riuscì ad abbattere quel terribile nemico armato di scudo colossale.
    ben presto riuscì a terminare pure il gioco, ma facendolo tramite numerose guide che ti dicevano dove andare, cosa fare o come sconfiggere il boss.
    inutile dire che giocarlo così è stato molto limitante a quello che il gioco offriva.
    e oggi dopo quasi 10 anni per la prima volta termino il gioco con la libertà di esplorarlo e viverlo a modo mio.
    il lavoro fatto nel remake è semplicemente magistrale dal punto di vista tecnico.
    in particolar modo l'illuminazione e l'audio. inoltre il remake si è preso diverse libertà creative che rendono il gioco ancora più ricco di dettagli, ma che per ovvie motivazioni risulta meno fedele e non tutti potrebbero apprezzare questa cambiamento.
    il titolo mantiene però la struttura dei livelli originali, in tutta la sua brutale difficoltà.
    molto spesso sento dire, che chi dice che gli ultimi giochi fromsoftware siano facile lo dice solo perchè si è abituato alla formula di gioco. ma questo titolo è la dimostrazione che non è vero, demon's souls era più difficile e continua ad esserlo ancora oggi.
    oltre al fatto che in questo gioco ci sono cose non immediatissime come il potenziamento delle armi, fatto con decine di materiali differenti. o le armi del boss che si ottengono potenziando armi casualmente.
    anche la tendenza dei mondi è una cosa tremendamente difficile da capire, trovandoci oggetti irraggiungibili o porte chiuse che si ottengono o aprono solo in base a quanti boss uccidiamo, o a quante volte moriamo in forma umana.
    altra cosa complessa la vita dimezzata se siamo in forma di spettri, o il peso degli oggetti che ci impedisce di portare un certo tot di oggetti con noi, o anche la durabilità delle armi non sempre molto longeve, o le cure che non si rigenerano alla morte.
    tutte queste cose alla lunga potrebbero infastidire chi si è bloccato contro un boss e deve tornare al nexus a riparare le armi, o a prendere nuove cure.
    i boss poi sono quanto di più sgradevole si possa immaginare, con alcuni boss veramente forti che richiedono davvero troppi minuti di viaggio per essere raggiunti.
    ma tutto questo rende anche molto più gratificante i riuscire andare avanti, il riuscire a sconfiggere un nemico, il riuscire a superare una sfida.
    demon's souls è un titolo grezzo, che non significa fatto male o poco curato. il titolo è volutamente fatto così per generare una sfida impegnativa, forse alcune cose le si potevano fare meglio. ma nel complesso risulta un gioco più che riuscito, e se non vi spaventano queste difficoltà un titolo super consigliato.

    The Warrior and Wizard experiences are simply polarizing. And there are so few archive points that you can properly look at the strategy guide.

    It’s a perfect remake and I think the only people who might be disappointed with it are… the die-hard FromSoftware fans. You see, the new Demon’s Souls shows clearly how much Miyazaki’s games have evolved throughout the years. The Dark Souls series simply does everything better. The remake looks like a prototype in comparison, while still being way ahead of other developers’ achievements in this genre. [01/2021, p.46]

    Overall, Demon’s Souls is still the most interesting and varied game in the Souls series. This remake not only looks lovely on the PlayStation 5 but is also a joy to play with all the tweaks and improvements that have been introduced. Now if only people would look past its supposed difficulty and see its carefully crafted intricacy instead.

    I went in expecting the world out of the Demon’s Souls remake and it delivered me the galaxy. I don’t normally speak this highly of games, but this is the one exception. Absolutely every facet of the original has been enhanced and it has stood the test of time. Bluepoint has done an incredible job at not only reinvigorating an underappreciated gem, but also leveraging the new technologies afforded to them with Sony’s new system. While there are a couple of minor technical blemishes, they don’t take away from how good of an experience this game is and Bluepoint’s diligence as a developer will surely see these kinks ironed out. This game is a system seller.
