    80 Euros for a Remaster is just too expensive, seems like sony is getting more and more greedy.

    Spazzatura, ridicolo. Un gioco di 10 anni fa con la grafica pompata. Idee di game designe level design ridicole, o meglio merdose. Fottuta deluxe edition per ritardati

    This game is so bad, as a souls fan this game has such lame bosses, all you have to win is walk around them and swing, the common enemies are more difficult than the bosses. In NG+ every enemy 2 shots you and it's not even fair, the level design is also super mid, so confusing and always getting overwhelmed. This does not even compare to any soulslike game, every enemy is a tank and 2This game is so bad, as a souls fan this game has such lame bosses, all you have to win is walk around them and swing, the common enemies are more difficult than the bosses.

    Easily worst souls game of all time. It's just so empty and boring, as remake it should innovate, but it didn't at all.

    As a remake this game could have been so much more than just copy paste, but sadly it's very disappointing.

    Very pointless remake of 2010 video game. I would rather have GTA 4 remake or something good.

    Dark, dreary, and depressing. Some adjectives I would use to describe this game. Unless you're a Souls fan, stay away. Not only is this game boring and lonely, it's also not easy. It's just not my type.

    I played the original and was a bug fan of the series. I bought a ps5 just for this game and I'm so dissapointed in From Software. I expected a polished game! We're not talking early access you released and sold the game! Sometimes my character just floats over stuff and sometimes I just drop through the floor. I wish I could post the video here.

    Jogo chato! Não tem save points. Quando perdemos andamos 20 minutos para trás. Dinheiro mal gosto. Game play é rudimentar. Sinto que estou a jogar o jogo original e não o remake.

    The people who made this got their degree by copeing from each other, doing favors to teachers, begging their teachers, looking at youtube videos to learn how to program and they lack imagination, common sense in controls and decency. To that, add the fact that sony has started stealing peoples money from their profiles using its 1st party titles, and you got a big zero for its score.

    You die a lot, the animation is obsolete dated 2009, draw distance is acceptible, ps5 has it hard to handle it, ps5 overheats during this game, sony uses this game to promote its unethic policies.

    Terrible balance with too strong enemies.
    No checkpoint before the boss.
    The worldview is plain and the enemy design is unattractive.

    There is too much repetitiveness to artificially increase play time. Combat is boring with dodge hit dodge hit. Nexus is so big and confusing to navigate. Terribly explained items.

    Here I will say just one thing. It is an overpriced game without any doubts.

    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.
