    Played the original ps3 version and then gave up as it was too hard. Since then finished all the dark souls and bloodbourne since and decided to wait until they remade it, which they have, and its spectacular. Very soild and much better than the original. Bluepoint need to do all the From soft games as they look and run superbly.

    Increíble puesta al día, respetando los elementos del original, pero gráficamente espectacular. Blue Point ha tocado los justo para que el gameplay no se notase anticuado, como el arreglo de la cámara y la implementación del rodado en 8 direcciones (antes era 4). Además han añadido un grandísimo modo foto y un editor de personajes muchísimo mejor que los que incorpora From Software.

    Simply incredible. They not only remaked it completely from a graphical standpoint, but they did Quality of Life improvements to make the experience in line with modern days combat. Bluepoint are wizards.

    Game is more barebones than any other Souls game but suddenly after america retextures it, giving it only a visual upgrade, it is fantastic? no this game is a scam, demons souls was 9 years old with a 2 gen difference. it´s a glorified texture pack for 70 bucks + online tip, nothing new is added, no QoL changes. the visuals were just fine and releasing this as a consoleseller/ main lineupGame is more barebones than any other Souls game but suddenly after america retextures it, giving it only a visual upgrade, it is fantastic? no this game is a scam, demons souls was 9 years old with a 2 gen difference. it´s a glorified texture pack for 70 bucks + online tip, nothing new is added, no QoL changes. the visuals were just fine and releasing this as a consoleseller/ main lineup title is simply embarrasing. it was a dark gothic setting with little fantasy elements. now it´s bright and shiny. it´s wow reforged all over again, unfortunatly it´s released as a "exclusive" on a new hardware so people need to justify throwing their cash away for a new machine which tries even more to seperate you from your belonings and making you dependable from sony. big nope.

    Beautiful global illumination in a stunning performance mode at 60fps with outstanding fidelity makes this game look and feel amazing, the 3d audio with haptic feedback will make u jump out your seat when getting surprisingly ambushed by tough enemies. This game is full of content to keep u busy for many hours. Demon's Souls for ps5 is a true masterpiece.

    For 70$ or 80€ (in europe), i really recommand it. If you want to feel the true next gen, you will have it only for 80€ and that's a good point too.
    In my opinion this game deserve so much game awards price !!!

First up, it's a 1:1 re-creation. Meaning it does little to deviate from the original, and it doesnt have to. It's a remake, not a sequel, people should understand what it means before buying the game. Clearing some misconceptions,

    Does it have a buggy launch? Not really. It's possibly the most polished souls game you'll play on launch. Of course there are some cheesy exploits that have been overlooked, but overall, you can run an entire playthrough without encountering any.

    Is the art style generic, or worse than the original? No. Well this is subjective, but I quite liked the art style. It's insane how Bluepoint pulled off some good looking picturesque scenes with such high fidelity photorealism. Also if you dont like the art style, you can change the filters in the settings. Which give it a more ps3 look.

    There really isnt much I can add further, it's a solid game which isnt as brutally hardcore as other souls game, and I quite enjoyed it for that. It's a nice balanced experience that's perfect for casuals and veterans.

I played in performance more and never got any frame dips, I would recommend not playing this in cinematic mode, I could tell any difference out side of slightly higher resolution.

The art style is far from the original and it shows that the people in charge did not understand the art style of the game and much less the idea behind the characters. Rather than remaking Demon's

    There are some recent bots that vote from 0 to 3. Dont believe that what these user reviews say. The game is not perfect, but its really really good.

    A fantastic launch game that everyone should have in their collection. The amount of detail that went into everything, I mean even the sounds are unbelievable. All in all, the game may be a little bit challenging, but when you finish a “Boss” or Demon, you’ll never want to put it down.

    Bluepoint completely destroyed the Soundtrack, Art Direction, Sound Design, Atmosphere and Environmental Story telling of Demon's Souls. Anyone who played the original Demon's Souls, but also likes this abomination is not a true fan of Hidetaka Miyazaki, From Software and the Soulsborne games.

    This is the best remake ever, it adds new stuff while preserve the orignals essence. Everyone should at least try it, i know people will say that its too hard but it isnt, the game is very fair with the player

    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.
