    First I have to say, I didn't play the original. I played Bloodborne and Sekiro, so I'm not new to the souls genre. For somebody who hasn't had the chance to play the origin of the Souls Series I was excited to play the Remake, as I don't own (or will ever buy) a PS3 console now.

For somebody who hasn't had the chance to play the origin of the Souls Series I was excited to play the Remake, as I don't own (or will ever buy) a PS3 console now.

    First warning: If you're not into hard games with unchangeable difficulty level, then go away, because you probably will be frustrated by this game. That being said, it is a nice start in the Souls Series because it it easier than Bloodborne for example. If you understand a boss you can probably beat him even with terrible timing.

    Level Design stays close to the original I heard and isn't nearly as clever as in Bloodborne. Before some Bosses there are shortcuts, before others not. Nonetheless I liked the game and the bosses, because they were diverse and after a few tries easy to beat. The graphics are astonishing, though not as scary and depressing as in the original (as far a I can tell from youtube videos). The remake has some quality of life improvements (send to storage function, sodden ring). Online Mode ist nice, but for the start you should play offline until you are confident enough to encounter other players who want to kill you (or if your are struggling with a boss and need some help). Like any other soul game, you have to figure out good builds, weapons and additional stuff on your own. No shame to seek help in Lets Play and Walk Throughs for the start.

    I also liked the Soundtrack, though I heard from many that the OST in the original was better. I think it ist mostly because of nostalgia, I would also be angry if they made a Bloodborne remake and changed the soundtrack, because during countless Boss fights this music burned itself into my mind. When you played the original your are not set to like the remake, but in my opinion you should give it a chance. For me this remake was justified because the souls series gained its fanbase mostly through Dark Souls and Bloodborne, so most of them haven't had the chance to play this game. I am glad I was able to and don't regret buying it for 80€. High Price, yes, but worth it I guess. Especially to call it robbery, like some of the reviews did, is an exaggeration. Wait for a sale if it's too much for you or honor the developers if you can afford it.    … Expand

    The attention to detail is superb, translating into breathtaking visuals and a vivid atmosphere. The gameplay, although tweaked a little in order to modernize it, remains true to the original. The game is personally much more enjoyable now, since not only were some of the original game's faults corrected, like a less fluid combat system (which feels very intuitive in the new game), but also some of the new elements like weight on plants add a new layer of difficulty.

    The improvement in graphics is surreal, as Bluepoint redid all the models and textures in the game. Not only that, but things like animations and lighting have also been highly upgraded. Other elements like shadows and water dynamics behave as if it were real life. The level of polish in this game is practically unmatched right now. Some would even call this game a true cinematic experience. In short, this is a must-have for all players.

    PS: The people giving this game a rating of zero, one or two are either clearly trolls or have nostalgia glasses too deep into their eyesight.    … Expand

But unlike Bloodborne, Demon's Souls wrapped me with its arms. It didn't let me go. Sure, when i started to play first time, i got frustrated easily. But this is what Souls games do. You have to be patient and try again and again. After that when you got strong, the pleasure that you feel is unexplainable. You can feel your attack hit the enemy more beautifully, unlike many other games. This is a PS3 game when you look back through the history, But when you play it, it doesnt feel like it. It feels like a next gen game from the ground up.

    I thank to From Software (for doing a core mechanic like this for beyond its time) and Bluepoint Games (for doing such a crazy remastered game like this and making all people call this game remake). The words become insufficient for describing this game. Thank you again. I recommend everyone to play this game. Also if you have time, you should play with every character and try different builds. Because all these characters and all these builds would make you feel that you are playing a new game but not the same game.

    So of these people are also saying that they are upset that Bluepoint made the game 60fps. According to them, this game was designed as a 30fps game, so Bluepoint made the game worse by making it 60fps (keep in mind, anyone that actually bought and played this game would know that there is literally an option in the menu to run the game in 30fps.
    Strange how they wouldn't know this when they allegedly own and played this game?

    The best was from "SoundOfTheSun". This user thinks this game's graphics are average or a little above average, which is hilarious considering that literally everyone who actually played this game would immediately notice that this game has easily the best graphics out of any console game.
    It could be argued that the graphics are better than any PC game as well. So this was a very strange opinion.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the people writing bad reviews are people that are, in reality, simply upset that they will never be able to actually play this game. This game was originally accidently announced as a multi-platform game, meaning it would come out on Xbox and PC.

    However, when Sony cleared up this error and confirmed it was a PS5 exclusive, a large number of Xbox & PC owners were strangely upset.

    Je n'avais jamais fait le jeu sur PS3, c'était donc l'occasion de m'y essayer. J'avais un peu peur de la difficulté mais j'avais réussi à finir Elden Ring (sur Series X pour le coup) donc j'ai tenté.
    J'ai fini le jeu avec un perso au level 87 en ne luttant que sur quelques boss mais rien d'aussi difficile que Elden Ring.
    Le jeu est beau, la DA est magnifique et l'ambiance excellente.    Je n'avais jamais fait le jeu sur PS3, c'était donc l'occasion de m'y essayer. J'avais un peu peur de la difficulté mais j'avais réussi à finir Elden Ring (sur Series X pour le coup) donc j'ai tenté.

    Le jeu est beau, la DA est magnifique et l'ambiance excellente. L'aventure se vit à chaque instant, nous obligeant à choisir avec intelligence notre itinéraire, les niveaux ou boss à faire en priorité, etc...

    Mes seuls reproches sont au niveau de l'inventaire. Les armures ne servent à rien (j'ai gardé la même du début jusqu'à la fin), impossible de les upgrader, impossible de vendre les tonnes d'objets que l'on trouve. Bref, à part upgrader son épée et quelques boucliers, la quasi totalité des objets trouvés ne servent à rien (si ce n'est nous encombrer).

    Excellent jeu.    … Expand

    Demon's Souls is where a genre defining experience started, the remake takes the exact same game but with godly graphics. It's a unique experience for fans and new comers.

    This was my first ever souls-like game and I simply cannot express how honoured and lucky I feel after playing this masterpiece. If I were to dig deep inside of it I still would not find any major mistake enough to not play it. Yes, it is hard and yes you will hate it sometimes. But giving it another opportunity, and another one and another one is the magic of it as a whole.

Of course you will die and you will question yourself what was going on in the devs' minds when creating a certain enemy or zone or boss. But when you find yourself capable of eventually moving and feeling like a master... That feeling is priceless.… Expand

    The launch title that singlehandedly took a dookie on Xbox Series X! I know Phil was in shambles when this one got announced. An incredible from the ground up remake of the game that started it all. Incredible presentation and audio with tight controls and fantastic gameplay. This is a must play for all PS5 owners! Great work Jim Ryan.

    BluePoint Games are not just the masters of remasters and remakes, they are a GOATy tiered studio that's full of talent and they did an incredible job with Demon's Souls Remake for PS5. It's the best-looking game, period.

    Amazing remake. First souls game I've ever played and I'm completely hooked. Also one of the best looking games I've ever seen. Tough but fair combat. It has a high bar for entry but once you beat an area or boss that's been giving you a challenge, that feeling you get is addicting. It really is the original brutal challenge.

    This was my first experience with Demon Souls and boy was I lucky. The graphics are insane, the loading speeds are mind boggling, and the animations are all so smooth. Really love every environment and overall atmosphere. Bosses really felt and looked like they could come out of your screen with how good their textures looked.

    I don't usually praise games this much, but this is an exception. The original has been enhanced in every way, and it has endured the test of time. Bluepoint has done an amazing job of not just revitalizing a neglected treasure, but also utilizing the new technology available with Sony's new system. Best remake ever made. Definitely recommend.

    Auch wenn es ein sehr schwieriges Spiel ist: jeder tot hat mich dazu motiviert besser zu sein. Ich hatte keine Probleme mit dem Spiel, bis auf dass das Combat System extrem langweilig ist (teilweise). Sonst alles tiptop, konstante 60fps Leistung mit 4K

    O jogo é um dos maiores dos jogos da franquia Souls-like. Gameplay muito fluida. Historia boa, mas não tão atraente. Mundos muito bem exploráveis e detalhados. Os gráficos são sensacionais, um dos Gráficos mais bonitos da geração PS5.
    A dificuldade do jogo varia de como sua tendência de alma está, mas digamos que é um jogo para iniciantes na franquia Souls-Like.

    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.
