    I was new to the whole From Software franchise. I heard about Dark Souls and Blodborne but hardly played them. Why is that ? These games have absolutely no intention to make things easy for you.

Meet two opponentsI was new to the whole From Software franchise. I heard about Dark Souls and Blodborne but hardly played them. Why is that ? These games have absolutely no intention to make things easy for you. Every Action hast ist consequences, run around beat a NPC and be surprised of having Killed en important merchant or worse. The most discouraging thing might be the difficulty. Meet two opponents in the begining and be surprised on how they beat you up. Later on Meeting end Bosses who seem impossible to beat, but the more you keep on , the more you probably improve. But have Twitch, Wikipedia and friends to help you along and things get better. Whats to love here ? The graphics are cool, the fighting ist fun, the Investory is super minimalistic, but most of the items have their use case, so when you find an item, you can be happy. There are always solutions, always things to find out and always some surprising death traps on the way , that don’t even pretend to be fair. But after you spent hours to beat an impossible boss, that is very rewarding. Lot´s of places to explore, lots of enemies waiting to be slain, and lot of items waiting to be found.… Expand

    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.

    Absolutely stellar remake. Keeps the core atmosphere and gameplay of the original with some great quality of life changes, and, I believe, is the most visually and graphically stunning game yet released.

Keeps the core atmosphere and gameplay of the original with some great quality of life changes, and, I believe, is the most visually and graphically stunning game yet released.
    As a game that came out on a more recent console, the original demon's souls is more in line with the gameplay styles expected by modern players and is less comparable to other contemporary remakes such as Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy 7. The gameplay of those game's original counterparts are bogged down by conventions that are rarely seen in recent titles (tank controls and slow paced turn-based combat respectively). The original Demon's Souls does not consist of gameplay that has been primarily thrown out over the years, instead being the beginning of an entire sub-genre innovated from the conventions it started.
    Demon's Souls is similar to Shadow of the Colossus in this way. The gameplay has not grown so dated that it needed to be fully overhauled, and the vast majority of core fans did not want drastic changes to the gameplay (as seen in the souls Sub-Reddits and other social media). However, if Sony and Bluepoint wanted to attract more new fans, the gameplay could have been innovated on.
    In the end, it's lose-lose situation. Either they isolate classic fans, or disappoint new players. If the decision they went with was the right one, no one can say, but, as a fan of the original, I am glad they went the way they did.
    Visually, the game is stunning. The PlayStation 5's boost in processing power over previous gen really shows in the amount of objects and tessellation seen in every scene, with displaced materials adding a sense of depth to even the flattest objects. The lighting and atmosphere is sublime, and stays true to the original in most cases and even improves it in some. Performance mode is as impressive as was stated in promotion, but as a primarily PC player, it was at times frustrating to have to choose between 4k and higher sub-division or 60 frames (Por qué no las dos?) but, with the state of console gaming, it's a compromise we have to live with.
    On the note of the main "controversies", exclusivity and price: Console manufactures need to sell exclusives to move units. That's the reality of it, and the practice of exclusivity (and the funding for devs that comes with it) has needed us some of the greatest games on every platform. The idea that exclusive are "consumer unfriendly" is a small-minded take and fails to look at the bigger picture. it would be nice if any game could be made for any platform without financial backers needing intensives, but that isn't reality. Now, on the price increase: I live in Australia where our prices on electronic goods, both physical and digital, are taxed and hiked significantly. Previously, AAA games cost around $100 AUD ($75 USD at the time of writing) - now they cost up to $120 AUD ($90 USD). I think this price jump is going to be a somewhat standard thing as we go into the future, and I for one.. am OK with it - in cases like this. Single player experiences need a way to compete with microtransaction-ridden multiplayer juggernauts, and if a price hike is the way to do it, then that sits fine with me (same goes for the digital deluxe edition). Problem is, we're already seeing that price hike carry over to games such as NBA 2K21 (A game with intrusive ads and literal slot machines), and I find that very distasteful. I don't play games like this so the price jump doesn't effect me directly, but if single-player games continue to earn dramatically less than multiplayer, it makes me worried for the future of this industry - especially as a student developer.    … Expand

    Demon's Souls is a very special game. It's the game that kicked off the Souls style of games. It's very experimental and does not shy away from throwing players off. So many great ideas for its time. And BluePoint did an amazing job and fixed the one issue the old game had; framerate. It runs so fluidly in the performance mode at 60fps. There are some weird re-designs for sure. ButDemon's Souls is a very special game. It's the game that kicked off the Souls style of games.

While this is a challenging game.. it isn't as hard as some of the later games in the series. It isn't a walk in the park by any stretch of the imagination but it's also not the hardest souls game. Overall it's as amazing as I remember it and better for the most part. Definitely a must play for fans of the souls style games.… Expand

    Bluepoint has done it again. Another great remake. Great gameplay with smooth frame rates and one of the great visual graphics in video game history. Games like this are the why PlayStation has always been better than Xbox.

    Perhaps one of the best launch-games in PS-history. An amazing game and maybe the best remake ever made. Never been a fan of souls-game, but this one was something I had to play. Must buy for PS5.

    Once again, Bluepoint sets the gold standard for remakes. This is a love letter to Souls fan. They didn't change a lot, but they changed what HAD to be changed.

They didn't change a lot, but they changed what HAD to be changed. Omnidirectional rolling and the new healing system, as small changes as they are, make a significant difference in gameplay and massively improve it. There are only a few complaints, like how some bosses that really needed a rework are unchanged and how the OST uses waaaaay too many choirs sometimes (it's a great OST, don't get me wrong, it's objectively better than the digitally made original, as opposed to this one that uses a full orchestra, but they really go home with the choirs in way to many fights. I personally enjoy it, but I understand people that say it's too epic and exaggerated for Demon's Souls).
    And of course, if you don't like the way the game looks and prefer the feel of the original, they have a filter that makes the Remake's color pallete close to the 2009 original for that as well, so everyone wins. There's also the original camera and the new, cinematic one. I advise you to use the cinematic camera when fighting bosses, as it gives the fights an incredible feel, and use the classic camera when you're not fighting bosses (duh). The HUD/UI is a bit too simplistic. I personally don't give a damn about the UI looks as long as it's not Witcher 3 levels of convoluted, but the Remake one does look very much simplistic and it's not as attractive as the original. I also think the health/stamina/magic bars are too small and should be made bigger.

    Aside from all that, this is perhaps the greatest remake ever made and it deserves a high score.    … Expand

    This game is getting review bombed as most of you will know, I just can’t believe people go to these lengths and try to ruin gaming. So what if we play different consoles?The point of gaming is to have fun not review bomb every game that’s exclusive to a certain console.

    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.
