    A Remake of one of the best games ever made, not much more to be added. And from Bluepoint games, a masterpiece.

    Bluepoint really knocked it out of the park with this one stunning visuals smooth framerates and some tweaks to make it feel like a modern game all while staying true to the original game i'm really enjoying it
    I think it's time for sony to let them make something other than a remake because the talent is there.

    If you are a fan of the soulsborne series then I highly recommend you give this game a playthrough, with the active online community its going to be a blast    … Expand

    I am a huge fan of the original game and I am blown away by this remake. There’s a few very minor changes I don’t agree with, but overall it’s a very faithful reimagining of the original game.

    Okay first off this game is so good. The graphics are amazing. I really didn’t except the character models to look so good but they did a really good job. The gameplay is paced out nicely and leaves you wondering what’s around the next corner, it’s fairly challenging, most people will probably struggle with this. The bosses in this game compared to ps3 demon souls look so freaking cool,Okay first off this game is so good. The graphics are amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bluepoint has done a great job making the first souls game shine, including tasteful use of the new PS5 features such as haptic feedback. You'll be convinced in world 3-2 when you can feel the giant brain creature pulsating through haptics as you get close. Many more instances where just the right amount of feedback is given. Hope to see more of this kind of use and less of what we got in Astro's Playroom. Overall it's the most incredible remake of a game many already loved. Um, Bloodborne next, please?… Expand

    I bought the deluxe edition of this game i wanted to experience Demon's souls the experience i missed back on PS3 the only problem i found with the game so far are the pop-in textures you can quickly see them on walls in fidelity quality cinematic native 4k 30fps mode and on the Tower Knight Boss Fight Bluepoint games didn't do a fantastic job using the PS5 ssd they barely tapped into theI bought the deluxe edition of this game i wanted to experience Demon's souls the experience i missed back on PS3 the only problem i found with the game so far are the pop-in textures you can quickly see them on walls in fidelity quality cinematic native 4k 30fps mode and on the Tower Knight Boss Fight Bluepoint games didn't do a fantastic job using the PS5 ssd they barely tapped into the PS5's hardware power the user score droped so much xbots are ranking this game with 0 because they hating on this game because they badly want to play it all of their games are low quality garbage and demon's souls remake is top quality and their first next gen game The Medium flopped hard and some filthy casual gamers complaining the game is too hard and they wasted their money go play your fortnite this ain't a game for gamer casuals it requires patience and skill which you don't have because you plays games like minecraft CS GO Call of Duty Fortnite that are for retards anybody can play those games and you learn nothing from them they require 0% brain capacity usage to play you don't develop any skills from them except accuracy that's why you casuals suck and give up like a btch ass niga if you actually spent time to improve yourself and have patience you gonna beat this game and you gonna get better at it and feel great about it and some old school soulsborne veterans like myself i see in their reviews are complaining that the game lost Miyazaki's original vision and atmosphere what are you talking about my niga the game is even better now it hasn't lost anything in fact Bluepoint games improved on the Vision of Miyazaki they improved the atmosphere. here is my review and my honest opinion.
    this is a Incredible remake of a beloved gothic action role-playing game the mother of all games that gave birth to dark souls bloodborne sekiro nioh and that inspired many game developers to follow that Fromsoftware formula and create masterpiece game of the year games just like 2018 god of war.The best looking graphical next generation game in all of gaming history and it runs butter smooth with no performance issues only on PlayStation 5 thanks to Bluepoint's Phenomenal Job this is not just a remake but a re-vision without changing the core of the gameplay and the game itself 10/10    … 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.
