    I was new to the whole From Software franchise. I heard about Dark Souls and Blodborne but hardly played them. Why is that ? These games have absolutely no intention to make things easy for you.

Meet two opponentsI was new to the whole From Software franchise. I heard about Dark Souls and Blodborne but hardly played them. Why is that ? These games have absolutely no intention to make things easy for you. Every Action hast ist consequences, run around beat a NPC and be surprised of having Killed en important merchant or worse. The most discouraging thing might be the difficulty. Meet two opponents in the begining and be surprised on how they beat you up. Later on Meeting end Bosses who seem impossible to beat, but the more you keep on , the more you probably improve. But have Twitch, Wikipedia and friends to help you along and things get better. Whats to love here ? The graphics are cool, the fighting ist fun, the Investory is super minimalistic, but most of the items have their use case, so when you find an item, you can be happy. There are always solutions, always things to find out and always some surprising death traps on the way , that don’t even pretend to be fair. But after you spent hours to beat an impossible boss, that is very rewarding. Lot´s of places to explore, lots of enemies waiting to be slain, and lot of items waiting to be found.… Expand

    An absolute must for the souls/borne fans and a great way to anyone who is not a souls/borne fan to become one. Let’s engage in jolly co-operation!

    You mean, our characters will look like real people in a souls game?! Yup! Blue point games made an effort to stick to the intent and atmosphere of the original, and it shows.

    Just an incredible piece of gameplay. One of the rare games that teaches you how to learn from your mistake. if you work hard and smart enough - you can get through it. Love the feeling of satisfaction the game gives once you beat it. And definitely a splendid graphics work from bluepoint games. Just awesome!

    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.

    The best thing about this wonderful remake is that it truly feels like a new "Souls" game, rather than an old one being brought back to life. The graphics are incredible, the music is wonderful and the kingdom of Boletaria was recreated beautifully by Bluepoint Games. If you managed to get a PS5, but still haven't played this game, you're wasting your time.

    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.
