    Solo hay una cosa en este juego. Es lo mismo que el original, y no necesita ser más. Gráficos increíbles, la jugabilidad es la misma pero con muchas animaciones renovadas, increíble modo a 60fps.

    I've never beaten the original game on the PS3, but today, with so much insights about the Souls formular that I've gained over the years and with the right mindset, I've finally managed to beat it.

    The game hasn't lost its appeal a single bit. There are deceptions and mysteries everywhere you go; nothing is ever quite obvious. This is the beauty of Demon's Souls. The combat is as tight as ever; BluePoint kept all the attack frames the same as the original so veterans will feel right at home.

    With 60fps, haptic feedback, and 3d audio this game has come back to life with new vigor and impressively demonstrates what we can expect for upcoming future titles on the PS5.

    I'm really hoping that FromSoftware will give permission to BluePoint again to remake the original Dark Souls. That's the only Souls game that I've never played, and I can't wait to get my hands on that classic with new technological improvements.    … Expand

    Honestly it is a game of nostalgia back to the time how souls series were started.

    That's what i call an absolutely great remake and awesome launch title for a new console release.

If you want my opinion I think that this game is amazing and you should definitely play it.

    - Graphics: Absolutely incredible. One of the best looking games ever made. Physics have also been redone and are now more realistic. Lightning is way better than the original, giving each area its different tone and proper global illumination (no RTX, mind you).
    - Sound: The best sound in a game I've ever heard. Play this with headsets, as it sounds like movies do in theaters.

    Algo que he leído mucho es que le tienen miedo por la fama que tiene un souls, si es la primera vez que tocas este tipo de juegos, sí se te hará difícil, si es así te recomiendo la clase mago o mas fácil: Aristócrata. La magia te hace un guerrero muy poderoso
    Pero en sí el juego es bastante equilibrado, solo es cuestión de prueba y error, de que analices debilidades, farmees un poco, aprendas movimientos del enemigo, y te encontrarás con un gameplay adictivo y totalmente divertido
    Destaco sobre todo el sonido, usando audífonos es una experiencia totalmente inmersiva, puedes escuchar si se acerca un dragón y desde donde viene, si hubiera estado nominado a en los TGA en esa categoría ganaba sin dudar
    Acerca del dualsense, no lo utiliza al 100% como Astro's bot, pero debo señalar que igualmente sientes la diferencia de estarlo jugando con este control, por ejemplo, puedes sentir cuando un enemigo enciende su bomba para lanzarla
    Como punto negativo, le pondría la IA, entiendo que es un remake y que asi estaba programado originalmente, pero siento que es algo en lo que pudieron meterle mano, porque si se siente anticuada, malita
    En general es un remake totalmente pulido, con animaciones muy bien hechas, muy buen doblaje tanto inglés como latino (por ahí anda Vegetta), una dificultad equilibrada y totalmente adictivo, le doy un 100!    … Expand

    Welcome to real next gen! Stunnig visuals ans superb graphic makes Demon's souls ps5's graphical benchmark. Playing one of the best RPG games of history in this graphic and dual sense controller is fantastic. I donno how to express my feeling. You should play it yourself and see why true next gen begins with demons souls remake

    Easily the greatest remake of the generation, topping even the acclaimed RE2 Remake and SotC. It masterfully balances between the old and the new. The improvements in the controls, UI and overall aesthetics are fantastic. And the overall implementation of PS5 features is pretty good too.

    The first true next gen game. If you played the original game then don't expect much in terms of story, it is identical to the first game. However, the graphics, gameplay, sound design, music are phenomenal. This is the only true next gen game available. Highly recommended for fans of the original for those who have not played the original on PS3!

    I've never played the original but as a fan of Bloodborne and Sekiro I absolutely adore this game. It's incredible to go back and experience the very first Souls game and see where the series started. Visuals are undeniably next generation running at your choice of 60 fps or 4k making this is an incredible way to start off the next generation of playstation. Well done Bluepoint Games.

    This remake was great In my opinion. The Graphics are great, and the 60 fps is consistent and just feels very good. The spell effects and Haptics where great together and not gunna lie i wasn't sure how good the Haptics would be but having gone back to games without it just feels off, its amazing in Demons Souls.

And the art direction and music is out if this world. Never has a game given a feeling of such accomplishment. When you finally beat a troublesome demanding boss you know you earned it. And it will almost always be accompanied by a loud hell yeah. The game is an all time classic. Just know what you're getting into.

    This was an incredible game to play through, the atmosphere is so good and it looks absolutely amazing. The bosses were not that hard, I only had problems with two bosses, I died a lot trying to get them though. I have played Dark Souls 3, Sekiro and Bloodborne before this, not the original DS.

    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.
