    Solo hay una cosa en este juego. Es lo mismo que el original, y no necesita ser más. Gráficos increíbles, la jugabilidad es la misma pero con muchas animaciones renovadas, increíble modo a 60fps.

    I've never beaten the original game on the PS3, but today, with so much insights about the Souls formular that I've gained over the years and with the right mindset, I've finally managed to beat it.

    The game hasn't lost its appeal a single bit. There are deceptions and mysteries everywhere you go; nothing is ever quite obvious. This is the beauty of Demon's Souls. The combat is as tight as ever; BluePoint kept all the attack frames the same as the original so veterans will feel right at home.

    With 60fps, haptic feedback, and 3d audio this game has come back to life with new vigor and impressively demonstrates what we can expect for upcoming future titles on the PS5.

    I'm really hoping that FromSoftware will give permission to BluePoint again to remake the original Dark Souls. That's the only Souls game that I've never played, and I can't wait to get my hands on that classic with new technological improvements.    … Expand

    The remake is ok especially on the graphics
    Honestly it is a game of nostalgia back to the time how souls series were started.
    Highly recommended for those for did not play the original before.

    I'm a Xbox/PC player, but damn this game convinced me to buy a ps5 and i regret nothing. The most beautyful looking game i've ever seen. Great lightning, awesome enemy design, the soundtrack is just wonderfull recreated, the gameplay is just great fluent with locked 60fps.
    That's what i call an absolutely great remake and awesome launch title for a new console release.

    Wow I'm so addicted to this game! It's amazing. I love how it's a single player game where you can go and help or invade other players, while at the same time you take a risk if you want to summon phantoms to help you. The tenacity elements make this game so much better.

    Either this game is getting review bombed for some strange reason , or people are rage reviewing. This game deserves nothing less than a 10. It's really an amazing launch title . I have multiple games to play right now honestly can't stop playing this game . Bluepoint really came out strong with this game.

    I don't even know what to say... this game is amazing and the people who gave it a 0 are some salty people who don't have ps5 probably and I really feel bad for those that give the game a 0 without playing and I think this is a mental issue that they have. If you want my opinion I think that this game is amazing and you should definitely play it.

    This remake is amazing, they kept the original identity and put a fresh coat on it, the shadows and atmosphere feels like the way it was intended to look like in the original, and now it can be played at solid 60fps to improve response time, no more excuses for me I guess lol. I doubt people realize this but this game is probably one of the biggest launch titles in any console.

    Nos encontramos con uno de los mejores remakes del ultimo tiempo, Bluepoint hace mas que justicia a este clásico de PS3, sino que ademas se da el lujo de mejorarlo en varios aspectos, cuidando el mas mínimo detalle de lo original para que no pierda su esencia.

    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.

    This one is the best in the soul series. The enemies are much more creative (not always in a form like human, a head with two arms and legs). This remake makes my memories all come back, with enhanced images and 4K on my big tv screen. Thanks for bringing this wonderful game to life.

    Never played a Souls game before this one, all I have to say is that the game is one of the most difficult games I’ve ever played but, it was such a treat from beginning to end with incredible graphics that define what a Next Gen game should look like and giving us an incredible gaming experience I will never forget.

    Thank you Bluepoint games,

    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.
