    Let me start by saying that I am no “SoulsBorne” expert. I pretty much didn’t start playing these types of games until this year, but in my time playing this game (and some bloodborne) I have become addicted to the genre.

    Good graphics, the music is very Disney if we compare it with the original, the difficulty of the game seems lower than the original.

    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.

    The game is amazing for someone that didn’t play the original and a good souls game.
    It is a game where you need to choose wisely on how you approach your enemies. Any monster can kill you and you can kill any monster if you are patient enough.
    The only negative point is that the game doesn’t warn you or hint you that you shouldn’t use certain items as you won’t be getting them again    The game is amazing for someone that didn’t play the original and a good souls game.

    The only negative point is that the game doesn’t warn you or hint you that you shouldn’t use certain items as you won’t be getting them again until your 2nd run. It is part of the game but it would be nice to add small warning before using something that has more use somewhere else. Simply the game is amazing and makes you come back to it every time you die with the fast loading screen, you won’t be quitting easily, but sometimes taking a step back will help you assimilate the strategy needed to defeat certain enemies, the game shines at Performance mode introducing capped 60fps with amazing graphics on PS5. Must to play.    … Expand

    My first Soul’s game. Was very cautious about buying this because of how much people went on about its difficulty. I am SO glad I did!

    What a fantastic game! yes it’s unforgiving but I am now seeing that is the fun of it. It genuinely gets my heart racing and I can feel myself learning from my mistakes. On top of that it’s beautiful and melancholy and I highly recommend playing with    My first Soul’s game. Was very cautious about buying this because of how much people went on about its difficulty.

    The game is boring. In addition, it irritates. If you want to sleep then this will be the perfect game for you.

    Bluepoint Games has done a surprisingly great job of taking the grandaddy of Soulsborne titles and giving it a fresh coat of paint, without wrecking the foundation that made the game so great in the first place. In terms of combat, this is Demon's Souls as it has always been. New animations spice up the presentation, and add a lot of life to it's original counterpart.

That being said, everything about the presentation just feels a bit different. It's not so much that the game doesn't look and play like Demon's Souls, but there are very subtle atmospheric changes that might offend the most pure of purist. Don't let that deter you though. This is the best modern way to experience Demon's Souls, and it's a visually stunning return to Boletaria. Umbasa!… Expand

    Originally this game was looked down upon, but as the release date got closer to PS5 it was made clear that this was one of the best exclusives that would drop alongside the release of the PS5. The game has been remade very meticulously and is perhaps the best souls remake to date.

    O jogo original é uns dos meus jogos favoritos de todos os tempos, foi muito bom e nostálgico revisitar Boletaria novamente. O jogo está incrível e
    muito, mais muito bonito, gostei muito do trabalho da Bluepoint nesse remake.

    Demons souls foi meu primeiro game lá no PS3. Esse remake trouxe toda a nostalgia daquela época, mas em uma roupagem insana de bonita. Os gráficos estão absurdos e foi uma ótima forma de estreiar o ps5.

    So this Remake is just that a remake of the original with a few differences. This game has been fun to play. Its more clear to see in the dark then the original. I have made 3 builds and all are still fun.
    so the reasons it wont get a 10 is because its not done. seems like it being a ps5 game it dose lack some Umff im hoping there will be dlc and we finally get that world.

    Tough as nails, but a blast to play. It’s even better looking than I expected. The gameplay is very fluid and there were never any deaths that I didn’t step back and say, “well, that’s on me. I did (insert rushed tactic).” Great game!

    Demon's Souls is now my favourite souls game. I believe the atmosphere, music and combat work amazingly together. Bluepoint have done an incredible job remaking this gem, it's one of the most visually stunning games I have ever played. Can't wait to see more from them in this next generation of 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.
