    El mejor remake que he visto hasta hoy en dia. Un verdadero desafio con el padre de los soul que no te puedes perder, con un aspecto técnico impecable y que te dejará con la boca abierta. Aquí empieza la verdadera Next Gen.

    Absolutely amazing. Words can't describe how great this masterpiece is. Everything from the graphics to gameplay has been done right from bluepoint. Hands down the best type of game in its genre and its next gen!

    Nice game. The best Souls in graphics and art, but, Bluepoint failed in many easy things like the HUD, the soundtrack and some character modeling, ruining part of the essence. Anyway, this is probably one of the best Souls ever made, and that´s something amazing

    Overall, a better game than the original, and that's saying something. Though the original holds a place in my heart, the remake will be the one I'm coming back to time and time again from here on out.

    Great game. Holds true to the original. The new visuals filled in what I pictured in my mind from the PS3 version. Happy to revisit the world with such great detail and the special effects are amazing!!

    DISREGARD ALL 0! I enjoyed all the Dark Souls, except 2, Bloodborne and Sekiro! And this one is by far the hardest (except Sekiro) and most enjoyable experience since it has no checkpoints and you have to go through the entire labyrinth to get to the boss fight each time.

    It is a mental grind.. But the satisfaction you get after you clear the boss after your heart is pounding is    DISREGARD ALL 0! I enjoyed all the Dark Souls, except 2, Bloodborne and Sekiro!

    It is a mental grind.. But the satisfaction you get after you clear the boss after your heart is pounding is exhilarating!! I think the PS5 version seems easier and it maybe because it's 60FPS with NO stuttering, virtually no load time.

    I LOVE The game so much I was up till 3am playing ALL day! If you enjoy FromSoft games do NOT miss this one! It's AWESOME! The remake is mind blowing graphics and sound! The 60FPS is gloriously smooth.

    This is such an amazing game and enjoying this so much! I love the graphics, UI and gameplay! It's been so awesome! Over 15hrs and 6 bosses down already and more to go! Best graphics on any game I have seen! If you have a 4K with 120hz this game is mind blowing! Playing it on the 77inch OLED TV is just amazing!    … Expand

    I have been playing this for 11 years. It was always an unkown gem. This the art that created a genre. A truly classic which everybody has to try. Now it is more accesible for new comers and it is better than ever.

    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!

    Incredible remake! I’m having such a good time with this game, it’s absolutely stunning and combat is much more fluid than meets the eye. I see a lot of user reviews stating they ruined the original and absolutely baffled that this game is getting anything less than a 6 by these hardcore originalists, it makes no sense for a game that has kept 98% of things intact.

The only changes are the significant aesthetics and quality of life improvements. It’s no where of a deviation to the original, but to each it’s own. This is a must buy for sure (if you’re into punishing games!) The only thing stopping me from giving it a 10 is the HUD, wish it was modernized as it clashes a bit with everything else.… Expand

    Masterpiece. The game runs absolutely smooth, the graphics are true next gen, and the gameplay is fluid and constant. I was not going to purchase it but I was positively surprised by the well made mechanics, gorgeous illumination and effects and the efforts on make this game a worthy remake. Perfect launch title, totally recommended!

    What a masterpiece. Bluepoint did a stellar job maintaining the integrity of the original game, while sharpening it's visuals. This is the launchpoint for the "Souls" genre. The atmosphere, difficulty, combat, and lore are incredible.

    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.
