    Bluepoint really knocked it out of the park with this one stunning visuals smooth framerates and some tweaks to make it feel like a modern game all while staying true to the original game i'm really enjoying it
    I think it's time for sony to let them make something other than a remake because the talent is there.

    The best thing about this wonderful remake is that it truly feels like a new "Souls" game, rather than an old one being brought back to life. The graphics are incredible, the music is wonderful and the kingdom of Boletaria was recreated beautifully by Bluepoint Games. If you managed to get a PS5, but still haven't played this game, you're wasting your time.

The ones complaining about the changes to the game's appearance probably haven't realized there are different visual filters in the display tab and one makes it look like the original PS3 version, I commend Bluepoint for caring so much to even put that in there for diehard fans of the original who are probably bashing them for DARING to remake their game. But as for the rest, ignore their stupidity, this game alone is enough of a reason to get the PS5, my guess is a lot of them are butthurt Xbots who are pissed they won't get a single exclusive for 2 years, who the heck else would hate on such an awesome game.

On the controller, well, i think for the tone of the game bluepoint has nailed again, its not an expectacle like astro playroom, its more serious, you can feel how the trigger stops when the hit wont connect, or how it feels when you hit flesh, its just magical, and everyone should feel it, for me its a 9.8, but since metacritic wont let us use decimals, i have to give it the full 10 score. what a threat to start the new gen!    … Expand

    I am a huge fan of the original game and I am blown away by this remake. There’s a few very minor changes I don’t agree with, but overall it’s a very faithful reimagining of the original game. All the mechanics are spot on accurate, which is important because combat is the most important aspect of a Souls title.

    This game is probably my favorite souls game now! The game is so good looking, especially in contrast to other souls games, and the gameplay is the fun souls gameplay I have come to love!

    If you are a fan of the soulsborne series then I highly recommend you give this game a playthrough, with the active online community its going to be a blast    … Expand

    El mejor homenaje que se podría haber hecho para el juego que inició un estilo de juego que marcó una década. Gráficos next-gen, efectos de iluminación fascinantes y un modelado con texturas 4k que le lavo la cara al Demon's Souls original como nunca había imaginado. Bluepoint está trabajando de una manera exquisita.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bluepoint has done a great job making the first souls game shine, including tasteful use of the new PS5 features such as haptic feedback. You'll be convinced in world 3-2 when you can feel the giant brain creature pulsating through haptics as you get close. Many more instances where just the right amount of feedback is given. Hope to see more of this kind of use and less of what we got in Astro's Playroom. Overall it's the most incredible remake of a game many already loved. Um, Bloodborne next, please?… Expand

    @ ALL GAME DEVS OUT THERE! This is how you do a Remake/Reforge/Reboot or whatever else you want to call it!
    After all the resent sloppy/horrible remakes of late I had no hope for Demon's Souls, glad Bluepoint showed the industry that remakes can be done right!
    Souls... you either love them or hate them.

    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.
