    10/10! PS5 is The best way to play a souls game. I really hope Bluepoint takes over Bloodborne 2 development. Now I understand the price point. Demon’s Soul Remake is amazing!! Everything is faithful to the original, but they made it even better!! Animations, textures, lights, mechanics, music etc!

Next gen graphics and totally same gameplay but better. Then this is a treat. Hand on heart the is one of the best games I have played and if your lucky enough to of got yourself a ps5 then you certainly won't regret this game... Only a bit frustrated from dying lots.… Expand

This remake is such a thing of beauty. They kept everything from the original and did some quality of life changes. The graphics are phenomenal and undeniably the best graphics in a game that exists currently. The sound design is phenomenal and really brings to life the Kindgom of Boletaria and other places in this game. Shrine of Storms is such a treat visually and in audio, as well as Valley of Defilement which is equally oppressive and soul crushing. I am phenomenally impressed by this game. I am a veteran souls player having finished Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1 and 3, and this game still is not easy. The levels are hard and one has to be really strategic. Dying and going through an area is still so much fun as the loading is almost non-existent.

    Some people are putting negative comments without playing the game. Don't judge it until you play it. Even those who are difficult to please really love it like VaatiVidya.    … Expand

The game is a work of art - every aspect feels crafted at the highest level. Visuals, audio, controls, animation, level design, performance. It is astounding. And frequently beautiful. With moments you NEVER find in video games. But I cannot overstate how harrowing it is. It feels like 2 seasons of the darkest TV show you'll ever find, and it frequently better than most TV on the air. That's saying a lot. I think it is an IMPORTANT game. It tore me up, and I will never, ever forget it. DS Remake is a game that will change you. In short, DS Remake put me through hell. I did not enjoy it. I wasn't supposed to. I was affected by it. Like no game before. I am in awe of it. I am recovering from it. By the way, I saved 5 hours of my lifetime thanks to the shorter loading times. I invested the hours wisely in intellectually challenging books.… Expand

Na verdade, acho que a Bluepoint podia ter mexido mais, pra dar algumas supresas... kkk O jogo é meio besta pra quem já está acostumado com Bloodborne, Dark Souls e Sekiro, mas é uma bela introdução pra quem ainda não conhece a franquia. Acho que é o jogo mais bonito que já joguei

They stayed true to the original game item placements bosses gear snd all. And if the older players like me wanted to experience the original with a touch up there’s different filters including Classic. So it will look as it did on the PS3 but with loading times so quick if you blink you will miss it. In 2008 I remember getting this from Japan as it we couldn’t buy it in the EU then, there was just these odd posts online on forums of this cult unforgiving game. I loved it and got the platinum one thing I didn’t was every time I died looking at the loading screen of a picture of one of the NPC for 60 seconds or more each time. Anyways this is about Bluepoint and I have to say to give this little known studio credits they have done the best remake I’ve seen since 30 plus years of gaming on the NES Windows 95 and through to this new current generation. Everybody goes on about Dark Souks but 85% of the current player base were late to the party. Demon Souls was the Father that birthed the soulsbourn games and it’s more unforgiving more mistakes or deaths. The more you die in human form the harder enemy’s get but more loot they drop. Or play through the game in soul form with 1/3 of the health 2/3 with a ring and when you die the world won’t change for the harder. But there pros to each as both ends of the scale each map will have 2 events tied to that mechanic. So do you have what it takes to take on Dark Souls big brother. Enjoy Bluepoint have outdone themselves and can’t wait to see what this generation has coming and what Bluepoint do next.… Expand

    Overall Demon's Souls Remake is a stunning game that you can play for hundreds of hours but it may not be everyone's cup of tea.    … Expand

    People who are giving this game a negative review must be angry children who didn't get a PS5, there is no reason for this game to have anything less than a 7-8. It's a remaster of a classic and is done extremely well. If you didn't like it you're probably just used to playing things like CoD and can't handle anything with skill lmao.

    I must mention bosses. I haven't finished the game yet, but 2 of 4 bosses were killed with 1st try.

The game also feels much less clunky than the original and the new PS5 controller may be part of the reason why. Another small grip is some of the art direction has changed but it honestly doesn't bug me like some others. As a whole it feels great to be playing through Demon's Souls once again and Blue Point nailed the remake of it with gusto.… Expand

    Been a huge fan of the soulsborne games, including Sekiro and Nioh. Nevertheless, I haven't ever had the chance to dive into Demon's Souls. It's amazing. It's perfect. I don't know how the original was but right now, Demon's Souls is my favorite game by FromSoftware.

The experience from which he himself draws inspiration, over and over again returning to the ideas laid down here. I was surprised to find that in each of Miyazaki's next games there are echoes, references and outright borrowing from DemSouls. The game is chamber-based, but due to the well-thought-out game design, it is impossible to pass it quickly from the first playthrough. The art design of everything is also striking. Only for the sake of it is worth enduring all the pains of passing, because the design and stories in the game are engraved in the memory forever. From the pros: design, flexible roleplaying, world stories, a variety of locations, bosses and small enemies, each boss has an unobvious weak point, in some places music. Disadvantages: in places poor optimization, crookedness, in places unbearably complex game design (locations and placement of enemies are some of the most difficult in From games, while bosses are almost all easy), little usable music, some gameplay features (quickly breaking weapons, cutting HP) , no bonfires between bosses, you have to farm a lot. One of the main, at the moment, PS3 exclusives, not devoid of flaws and curves, but with a unique face, which later became a phenomenon and one of the most important, complex and deep games of recent years.… Expand

    The game itself is a MUST, the original I mean. They have done an amazing work with the remaster. It runs solid as a rock at 60 fps making a big pleasure to play it. Graphics are outstanding and the quick loading of the maps and the nexus gives a very pleasant feeling during all the game. For me is the best PS5 game you can play at this moment.

    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.
