    This is easily the best launch title for the PS5. It approves on what made the PS3 port great. But also manages to give the people who never played it a chance if they missed out on it. FromSoft might not be behind it. But the masters of remakes themselves Bluepoint has been able to give the love that was in the original to this. The challenge is still there.

    I'm giving it a 10 because imo the original Demon's Souls is the greatest game ever made, and I think Bluepoint Games did a decent job with this huge undertaking. I hope everyone struggling with this game, is able to feel the huge sense of accomplishment after beating it, and then play the original.

    Amazing game. Only real next gen game on the market right now. Playing on performance mode, PS5, it looks and plays perfectly.

    A perfect remake of a classic that couldn't be any better. The new dual sense controller makes it even better.

    PLAY THIS!

    Demon's Souls blew my mind. This game popped my Soulsbourne cherry and what a special time it was. They say you always remember your first, and I will never forget Demon's Souls.

    Я играю, мне нравится.
    Не играл в пред. версию для PS3, кроме как других игр soul`s like и если проводить эту параллель , все в духе и на высшем уровне с точки зрения картинки.

    Best remake to date!
    Bluepoint Games are the masters of remasters/remakes.
    Sony needs to acquire this studio ASAP! The talent this studio has would go hand and hand exceptionally with SIE WWS!

    El mejor juego de lanzamiento de PlayStation en su historia, gran remake del clásico que lo empezó todo, uno de los juegos más influyentes de la historia, conserva toda la magia del original. Obra maestra.

    Es increíble lo que puede hacer bluepoint, respeta todo lo que conocemos del Des original y lo potencia al cien. Si eres fan de la saga souls y nunca lo jugaste, lo vas a disfrutar como no lo puedes imaginar.

    Fantastic remake, true to the original And exceeds it with mind blowing next gen visuals and almost non existent loading times.

    Look Im a Massive souls fan that has played the original, I get Some may not like the changes to the art style but some does, Heck i love the new Art style and Graphics engine. I think the OG is a Fantastic game but the remake is better... Few reasons why.
    1. The Remake Has Its Inventory send to the storage guy in nexus if ya pick to much up where as in OG you would have to sacrifice gear    Look Im a Massive souls fan that has played the original, I get Some may not like the changes to the art style but some does, Heck i love the new Art style and Graphics engine.

    1. The Remake Has Its Inventory send to the storage guy in nexus if ya pick to much up where as in OG you would have to sacrifice gear to pick it up or run back to Nexus to drop stuff in storage then run BACK to get What ya wanted.
    2. 60 FPS is just Objectively better then The OGs Unstable FPS.
    3.Omnidirectional Rolling absolutely OBLITERATES the Old Fashioned 4 direction Rolling which leads to a Much better Gameplay experience Overall then the OG from just this slight Change.
    4. The animations on ripostes and Backstabs are much more diversified and unique then the OGs.. Just animations in general in remake is far superior.
    Look those rating this game 1/10 doesnt know what a Real 1/10 game looks like and should be absolutely ashamed of themselves to give such a BS Score, The game Is A Freaking masterpiece in its own right and has OBJECTIVLY better Upgrades as i listed above over the OG that just makes for a Much better experience. The ONLY valid complaint is not liking the new Art style or Music but the actual Core of the game is just simply Better then The OG. Not the best souls game ever as Bloodborne still holds that title but its Definitely a Must play Masterclass of a game thats far better then 99% of other Triple A games out in this modern age.    … Expand

    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.
