    Best launch title in the history of gaming. It is extremely punishing and difficult beyond every other souls game, but it is well worth the challenge.

    Game looks amazing and plays great! It kept the timing and coding that made the original play so well but added enough new touches to the world to make it feel NEXT GEN. Bluepoint kept what mattered and improved everything else without changing the core of the game. If they could do this to Bloodborne I coucould "Prepare To Die" happy!

    I would recommend original so much more than this "remake". They took absolute classic and are trying to make quick cash with it. I still have original on ps3, you can get it cheap anywhere. This weak excuse for a remake shouldn't be a reason to get ps5. I'm very disappointed.

    This game was daunting to me at first. I spent 3 hours on the first level learning the mechanics and I had a blast. Beating the first boss was so satisfying, The game is truly beautiful on the PS5. This is the perfect game to go along with the new PS5.

    O remake está lindo!!! 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

    I feel like both the praise and the criticism are valid. It is true that the game's graphics are amazing, as is as the artstyle, as is the loyalty to the original game as far as core gameplay goes. On the other hand, it is also true that the game is soulless, repetitive, and feels much more like a glorified Mortal Kombat campaign than a true fantasy RPG.

    Overall, though, I'd say that if you know what you are signing up for (which is taking down some bosses and NPCs in a Souls-like fashion and environment), this game is 100% worth getting, and it will probably exceed your expectations due to how good the presentation is and how well it plays; but don't expect it to captivate your soul or provide some unique gaming experience, because that's clearly not what the developers were going for when they made this game.    … Expand

And just like that movie, there were times when I wasn't sure I could keep going. It is a relentless emotional assault that I suspect will force even the most jaded gamer to feel empathy. 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

    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.

    Now I want to say that the graphics look great BUT the atmosphere in the game does not feel like Demons Souls, you can tell it's missing something and that is the Fromsoftware touch.. I also do not like how the player character says " ha ha huh huh" every time you swing the sword I know it's odd to say but it just doesn't fit in a Demons Souls game.
    I like the OST but it also does not fit Demons Souls, you do not feel the "purgatory" feeling of the music that the original had and wish that they had an option to play the game with the original sounds., it sounds more like Bloodborne.
    They made a lot of design changes but they kept the abusing of backstabs.. I just dont get why. The boss designs are great. A lot of people didnt like how the new vanguard boss looked but I dig it.

    I also dont think it's worth the price.

Здесь, по классике нового ориентирования рынка Sony на запад, завезли BLM и SJW-мусор и прочие вещи, которым ним место ни в одной игре. Сеты персонажей выглядят прямиком как треш-фрики из Тамблера. Дизайн игры в целом и персонажей в частности был изменен на западный манер, потеряв былую оригинальность и самобытность. Персонажей сделали более "репрезентативными", как модно нынче говорить. И вы понимаете, о чем я сейчас. Про то, что герой априори небинарен и вместо пол здесь есть выбор между "типом тела А" и "типом тела Б", я думаю не стоит и заикаться.
    Обещания и реальность. Все мы не должны забывать громкие слова о трассировке лучей в игре на презентации PS5. А что в итоге? Это был обман, лишь ради громкого маркетингового словца. Про то что игра выйдет на PC и "других платформах" мы тоже помним прекрасно. Но ведь тогда не вышло бы просить за эту поделку 80€, верно, Sony? Конечно же, верно.
    Игра спокойно бы запустилась и на PS4, лишь с добавлением загрузок и в качестве ниже. Все мы видели The Last of Us Part II и то, что она прекрасно работала на прошлом поколении. И вы хотите сказать, что ремейк Demons Souls бы не пошел? Не смешите свою же аудиторию.
    Это глупость и жадность. Вопиющая. Ценник этой игре должен быть 40$, как у ремейка первой части Mafia. Не больше. А за 80€ и спрашивать с игры нужно, как с того, что стоит 80€. И это не цена данной "поделки". Ни в коем разе.
    Но, судя по оценкам, люди съели и это. И попросят еще. Тогда, впрочем, не жалуйтесь позже на то, какие сюрпризы вам приготовит Бобби Котик, поняв, как легко доить из такого стада как вы, ставящего 10/10 подобной "игре", деньги.

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.

Ignore them, they clearly don't have a clue about anything. Regarding to why it should of been left on PS3.. well why would people who have never played it go and buy a PS3 to play it? 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

    La torre de latria es unos de los niveles que mejor adaptaron, replicando esa sensación claustrofóbica y fúnebre combinada.
    En otras palabras un trabajo digno de aplaudir.    … Expand

    There’s no reason for this remake to exist. The PS3 game runs better on PC as it is without the needless redesigns that ruin the atmosphere.

    I know everyone was super hyped for this game, and having played most from software games I knew what to expect. Graphically a little underwhelming compared to some other next-gen titles, but as a remaster that is kind of expected. It won't strain your ps5 thats for sure.

    Gameplay is the same love or hate is souls formula, can be extremely frustrating but also rewarding at times.

    Gameplay is the same love or hate is souls formula, can be extremely frustrating but also rewarding at times. characters still feel overly clunky and like the game makes controlling your characters a bit of a pain at times. the frame rate compared to the original ps3 version is nice, but overall didn't blow my mind.    … Expand

    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!

    Sinceramente un auténtico juegazo, respeta mucho la esencia original del juego añadiendo algunas cosas, también está la opción de ponerle el filtro oscuro de la versión clásica, de todos modos es toda una experiencia jugarlo, el juego apunta a ser de los mejores exclusivos de ps5, y sobre las críticas negativas, son infundadas, esa gente no jugo el juego y solo le tira odio

    A fantastic remake. This game represents the only true next-gen experience and it shows. Every time I'm away from the game, I'm thinking about the game and how I'll best the boss that just kicked my ass for the last 30 minutes I played. This is a an incredibly satisfying game to play in regards to visuals, gameplay, and immersion.

    Well, most people prefer Lil Pump over Beethoven, so that explains the 10/10 reviews. Ruined the OST.

    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.
