    Simplemente espectacular, luce impresionante, el gameplay muy cuidado, es muy fiel al original. Le falta quizá un poco más de sensación de peso a los golpes enemigos pero poca cosa. Muy recomendado

    JUGABILIDAD:
    El Demon's Souls original fue uno de esos títulos que impusieron moda, que sona ser imitados y mejorados hasta el cansancio. Para mí no es posible iniciar ésta reseña sin mencionar a Bloodborne como la obra maestra que es y que, por supuesto, nace gracias a éste titulo.

    Pues bien, hablando de éste Remake hay que comenzar con su sistema de combate, que es probablemente el apartado más importante en un Souls. Dicho apartado es decente, aunque ciertas armas se prestan mucho a hacer spam de R1, lo cuál facilita la mayoría de los enemigos y jefes. En consecuencia de lo anterior, yo no lo considero un sistema pausado, y lo que mejor me funcionó fue un método de ataque rápido y agresivo.

    Los jefes son buenos (¿o malos?), pero tienen mecánicas bastante simples: movesets bastante predecibles, muy repetitivos y en su mayoría muy simples de evitar. No es que el juego sea fácil (aunque es un paseo por el parque comparado con Bloodborne o Nioh), pero acostumbrarnos a una estrategia funcional es muy rápido... y dicha estrategia va a funcionar básicamente con todos los enemigos.

    Además, el uso de magia puede facilitar DEMASIADO la pelea contra varios de ellos. Así que si buscan un reto mayor, lo mejor es no invertir en éste apartado.

    La cantidad y uso de los ítems se siente más bien poca, pero sumado al equipo, son los necesarios para darle algún tipo de profundidad. Por su parte, el sistema de inventario es interesante: el juego nos provee de un cambio respecto a los típicos límites de inventario “por slots”, asignando en su lugar un límite por peso. Pero eso sí, me hubiera gustado que al tener el inventario al peso máximo, simplemente no pudieras recoger más objetos, en lugar de tener la opción de enviarlos al almacén.
    Sea como sea, creo que está bien manejado y no juega como punto en contra como le ocurre a juegos de otros desarrolladores (coff coff Nioh).

    Otro punto a favor que hay que mencionar es la libertad de poder jugar los escenarios en el orden que queramos, lo cual le da un buen toque, ya que podemos cambiar de área cuando nos sintamos atascados en alguna. Y es que con la integración al SSD, nos tomará meros segundos el saltar de área-a-nexo-a-área.
    Además, las zonas son tan variadas (tanto en estilo, época, ambientación, enemigos, y estructura) que hacen gala del apartado visual al tiempo que nos dan esa sensación de novedad.

    El tema de la tendencia de los mundos es muy interesante, y afecta directamente a la difitad de los niveles individuales. Pero en lo personal no supe aprovecharle y simplemente dejé que ocurriera sin prestarle demasiada atención.

    Por lo que en general, Demo's Souls Remake es un gran souls... con una difitad mas bien moderada.

    Algo obligatorio que hay que mencionar: el juego se me crasheó en dos ocasiones y hubo necesidad de reiniciar la consola. No presenta un “problema” por el sistema de guardado automático del género (no perdí progreso), pero sigue siendo un gran error, que esperamos sea corregido.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Impresionante. El juego perfecto para estrenar el sistema Playstation 5.
    El nivel de detalle y acción en pantalla es increíble, la buenísima paleta de colores al mas puro estilo de fantasía oscura y la gran implementación del HDR son un deleite.
    Las áreas son tan diferentes entre sí, que hacen del juego la oportunidad perfecta para apreciar lo que el sistema PS5 puede lograr, sin exagerar en el hiperrealismo. Tanto los niveles oscuros, como los bien iluminados, lucen simplemente estupendos.

    La narrativa es buena, y las cinemáticas son dignas de repetirse varias veces. Así como de recordarse como un referente en el género fantástico.

    SONIDO:
    Complicado... no tengo mucho qué decir: mientras que, por una parte, considero que algunas piezas son increíbles, hay una parte de mí que me dice que no disfruté del soundtrack como debería.
    Probablemente se debe al hecho de estar "concentrado" en otros aspectos jugables.

    Y si bien, es enteramente mi pa, ésta es mi reseña y debe reflejar mi apreciación personal de los apartados del videojuego.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    El primero de su respectiva “franquicia” ... bueno, no realmente. Es el Remake de aquel, por lo tanto no se puede considerar su innovación como algo fríamente parteaguas.

    Eso sí, confirma que de original, Bloodborne tiene poco: algunos jefes y sus mecánicas son claramente similares, por no decir prácticamente calcados. Pero esto ya no corresponde a la review de este titulo.

Как только мы побеждаем 2 босса в этой локации, нам нельзя идти дальше пока мы не убьем какого-то архидемона "В рот оно Е*Б*С*" вы уходите и что вы можете наблюдать с горем пополам у вас будет может быть 25к Душ, вы их тратите на характеристики, потом что-то там сортируете и дальше у вас 5 обелисков еще 1 из которых сломан и как говорится гуляй рука балдей игрок, но вот ты стараешься идти по кругу, а тут тебе херас два, мобы уже на второй локе фармятся нормально, только ударами в спину, то есть игра как бы говорит тебе, ЧЕЛ если хочешь тут быть, страдай, я понимаю что суть игры страдать, но сука, не на каждом же обычном мобе, потому что там, сука, есть еще усиленные, ну даладно мучаясь от того что пытаешься делать все снова и снова, доходишь еле как до босса во второй локе, убиваешь этого злоебучего паука и дальше начинается Ад, потому что ты банально просто нее можешь пройти нормально, но даже так, ты себя пересиливаешь, добегаешь до личинки которая сидит в тунеле, фармишь её минут 5, что бы пройти и там находишь босса, который тебя в порошек стирает, а ты даже не успеваешь патерн в его поведении увидеть, не то что придумать как и чем его бить.
    После всей этой вакханалии и смертей в миллион раз, ты замечаешь вот что, в мире этом, появляются какие то красные мобы, то есть считай охотники, как в БЛАД БОРНЕ, ты их убиваешь, но порой встречаешь таких, от которых у тебя просто жопа сгорает, что со мной и случилось.
    Так вот я узнал про эту конченую механику тенденции мира, я начал просто, сука, УМИРАТЬ, то есть тебе игра говорит, хочешь доп контент? Сдохни раз 5-7 в форме чела, а потом страдай ради чего? А хуй его, просто страдай, так я встретил в самой перовой локе за воротами бабу, которая выглядела как палач, 1 удар и я мертв, найс баланс я бы сказал, так вот, вроде заучив патерн ее поведения, я, вдумайтесь сейчас, 33 минуты хороводы водил и пиздил ее что бы убить, ибо 1 ошибка = смерть, что и случилось, после этого у меня уже сил и желания в это играть не было.
    Любовь сквозь боль и страдания. Все таки мне подчинилась эта игра и смог пройти её аж два раза. Без гайда новичка в этой игре в начале самом я бы не справился и не понял ничего. Но в общем и целом все таки игра вышло не плохой. Её графическая составляющая все так же бесспорна, лучшее что есть и пока неверное лучше не будет в графическом плане. Во всем остальном уже не так много претензий. Это первая игра, из соулс игр, в которой двуручное оружие можно нормально использовать.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So the game is over after 30 hours and 29 minutes as well as level 85. To classify you should note that I have played Dark Souls 1-3, Bloodborne and Sekiro before (right before this Playthrough), but Demon's Souls is the first of all this Games. But it was clear to me from the start that I would only play this game in the remake.

    story

    Soul title, everything is very, very interesting, you only understand half of it and are still happy about the "story background noise" that always accompanies you. King, annihilation, demons, bondage to the nexus; everything cool as always.
    Spoiler: to the end
    I let the young lady with the dirty feet do her job! I don't know if she could have been killed too.

    Graphics / performance / glitches

    The game looks awesome. It's probably the prettiest game out there on nextgen consoles right now. The graphics are incredible, the atmosphere is very well absorbed and I like the overall look of the game very much. The individual areas all have something for themselves, are sufficiently different in their look and the Latria tower, as well as the storm area, optically appealed to me best, next to the first world.

    The game went really well and I played it in performance mode. Occasionally there were a few lootglitches, but this is absolutely to be overlooked. On the other hand, I have to mention how bugged the gargoyles were on me. One glitch after the other, attacking the air or getting stuck on the bridge, etc. once I had to end the bossfight for the time being because the creature simply glitched away. It's a shame and I haven't seen it in any other soul game.

    Gameplay

    So right after Sekiro you have the feeling of being a snail and walking at a snail's pace. It's very sluggish, but after a bit of getting used to it, I was completely back in it and I didn't mind. Then it was that special Souls feeling again.

    I really liked the weapons and while I played with the Claymore relatively quickly for a long time, I used boss weapons especially towards the end, after I figured out how it worked. I found the old hero's blade really cool, so I played it through.

    I also liked some boss fights very much, but these were mainly those fights that were more reminiscent of Dark Souls (e.g. the Flame Sneak or Penetrator). I didn't really like that many of the boss fights consisted of mechanics that you just had to carry out and the boss was down (e.g. the dragon god, who for me is one of the most boring bosses of all soul games). What all bosses have in common is that they are far too easy. The last two bosses or the penultimate one was cool but totally easy (maybe I was already relatively high in the level, but the bosses were already very easy before). The last two bosses also rather disappointed me as the "final boss", and to be honest, I didn't realize that that was the end.

    In addition to the at least lame boss fights, at least in terms of gameplay, there are farms that are probably not absolutely necessary but felt very helpful (I mainly farmed souls here in order to then buy arrows, herbs, etc.). Fortunately, they shut down this farm aspect in the soul games and I never really farmed in any Dark Souls part. After all, there is a place in Demons Souls later that makes it extremely easy to farm many souls (it's actually quite fun) or there are different farm spots.

    What is left to say ... oh yes the world trend. Wasn't my thing, I have to say honestly, because I prefer, as in the successors, that I discover secret ways (e.g. by hitting the wall). I don't want to compare too much with the successors, but I ended up playing Demons Souls as the last and I'm glad that Fromsoft has changed a lot.

    I still have two points of criticism: The simple chaining of worlds reminded me too much of Dark Souls 2. In Dark Souls 1 it was just better with the world network. And inventory management sometimes pissed me off, especially because I always had the load too heavy and constantly had to swap things around.

    Conclusion

    Again, I emphasized my points of criticism of the game, but that doesn't change the fact that I had a lot of fun for 30 hours and 29 minutes. Demons Souls is part of a long success story of these games and I liked it better than Dark Souls 2. With 8/10 demon souls it is very well served, but despite the same rating, it is under Dark Souls 1 for me and is "significantly" weaker than the rest of the games. This ends my journey at Fromsoftware ... for now.

    Great remake that should be reviewed as a PS3 not a PS5 game. Old and frustrating mechanics, vast maps with only a few shortcuts and no checkpoints. Awesome boss and environmental designs, however boss fights are mostly easy. Challenging experience, would recommend.

    It's gorgeous but man... it definitely feels like the "first" souls game. It's slower, more tedious, clunkier, and the story is a bit more straightforward than the unique plots of later games. This isn't a remake (like Resident Evil 2) it's just a graphical update.

    Weirdly it's the easiest From game I've played but you die more to annoyance and jankiness than to legit challenge. I found

    Weirdly it's the easiest From game I've played but you die more to annoyance and jankiness than to legit challenge. I found little joy fighting through the mobs of easy enemies to get back to an area you died to falling or some other kind of bs.

    Especially after playing DS3, Bloodbourne, and Sekiro this feels downright in slow motion and boring. But regardless, DS1 (and even DS2) holds up, and I played it after the new games because it's a really unique and challenging experience. Honestly, I don't get who this remake is for? It won't recapture the magic of playing it on the PS3 for veterns and isn't updated for newer gamers.

    Except for the graphics, 60fps, and quick loading there is nothing about this made for modern game sensibilities. It feels too much like King's Field before Dark Souls came into its own. I know die hard fans are glad it's exactly the same as the original, but I really wish they updated aspects of the game and attempted a true remake.

    Still, if it's your first souls game then I think I suggest it because it still is great compared to most games if you've never experienced the Fromsoft formula. But if you have, this will probably bore you.

    Still a good game on its own, but definitely the weakest compared to Fromsoftware's other titles. The bosses are rather straightforward and won't demand too much of the player, and the combat, whilst fun to a degree, lacks the captivating nature that Fromsoftware's other games have. I'd recommend getting this when it's on sale.

    Really polished, classic RPG fun. Loved reliving memories of playing this on my PS3 but now in high definition glory but the game has aged to a relatively simple title given From Software's stellar works in recent times.

Enemies movesets are incredibly simplistic and you usually die because of some messy game mechanic that messes you up "on purpose".

    Having never played a souls game I am glad I stuck with it. I was getting destroyed at first but as you play more it gets easier. The gameplay is great and have loved exploring. Combat is fantastic and very strategic.

    The game forces you to mix up your play style because of all the different enemy types. Would have been a 10 but the implementation of adaptive triggers is quite poor on the bow.

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some people here are saying they "don't think the game improved", "the boss re-designs are looking worse than the original" and "the changes don't justify this remake". I can't believe they played this game the worlds look stunning! All the detail they added, just compare it side to side to the original. Every boss now looks like a real terrifying monster not just like a blurred stain, actually I think even the boss design of false King Allant improved (the more non demonic, pure design matches his idealised view of himself better - the true King is as "ugly" as ever). The only thing that could be better is the voice of the true king, in the original game it sounded more like the rotten demon he is than just an old man like in the remake. Don't complain about the gameplay, the AI is the absolute same why should it play different then? I feel Bluepoint put a lot of love and effort in this to make it a visual and proper early PS5 game.

    Czas gry: 45 (tyle zajęło mi przejści gry, za pierwszym razem, ale wspomnieć muszę również, że nie zrobiłem do końca innych wątków, ba nie wszystkie nawet zacząłem).

    Poziom trudności: 7,5/10 Całkiem duża część walk z bossami okazała się dla mnie zwyczajnie łatwa, zdarzały się, że do niektórych podchodziłem koło 6 8 razy, ale wciąż nie jest to poziom na przykład Sekiro, gdzie z Małpim Strażnikiem męczyłem się z 20 godzin :). Większość śmierci zawdzięczam ... grawitacji. Tak, umarłem bite 40 razy, spadając z głupich przepaści albo robiąc unik na wąskiej drodze,

    Fun: 9,5/10 Bawiłem się przy Demon's Souls Remake naprawdę dobrze, jest to chyba moja ulubiona gra na playstation na ten moment. Modele przeciwników, rozbudowany system walki, który pozostawia wiele, rzeczy do dyspozycji graczom, a także rozbudowanie lokacji, to istne złoto i mam nadzieję, że coraz więcej gier będzie takich.

    Minusy: Brak dodania 6 krainy z Gigantami. Według mnie twórcy, jeżeli faktycznie robią remake to powinni pododawać więciej od siebie, jak na przykład 6 archstone + praca kamery, w dużej części lokacji jest beznadziejna.

I bought the PS5 solely for this game, and my sky high expectations were easily met - just fire that Soul Arrow once, and you know what I mean.

My only issue with the remake is the fact it has lost some of its charm it once had. The soundtrack whilst impressive as a score is not very memorable or fitting since all the tracks are mostly orchestral. The original had such good variety in its music and some of the boss soundtracks are totally inferior in the remake. As a result I can't really memorise the music in this game. On the other side of things some places have lost the atmosphere they once had. Not sure if it's the modern graphics or the redesign but this also takes away some of the charm.

Hablando primero sobre el remake (que me ha durado 30 horas), el trabajo realizado por BluePoint es soberbio, con una calidad gráfica que roza la perfección, unas texturas y modelados muy cuidados y un apartado sonoro excelente. El estilo artístico también ha mejorado notoriamente teniendo zonas estremecedoras por su paisaje y siendo un juego mucho más bonito que el original de PS3. No se han retocado muchas cosas de la jugabilidad más allá de algunas mejoras de accesibilidad, lo que demuestra el respeto del estudio por esta obra de culto. Pasando al juego en sí, tanto la jugabilidad característica de los souls (con armas, hechizos y formas de personalización que dotan al juego de muchas posibilidades) como el diseño de niveles me ha parecido magistral, y que el juego esté dividido en zonas y que puedas jugarlas en el orden que quieras me ha parecido una gran idea. Los bosses en general me han parecido bastante sencillos pero con mecánicas interesantes. En cuanto a la historia y el lore del mundo, sigue un argumento bastante simple y fácil de entender pero creo que se podría haber explotado mucho más el contexto del mundo y los personajes. La banda sonora me ha parecido muy buena y acorde a la ambientación del juego. Pero para mí el punto débil del juego es sin duda el sistema de tendencias. Me parece absurdo que dependiendo de si mueres mucho o venzas a los jefes tengas una tendencia negra o blanca y te aparezcan enemigos durísimos o se te desbloquee contenido en función de eso. No le veo el sentido y no me ha gustado nada. Aun teniendo en cuenta esto, Demon's Souls es un juegazo y lo recomiendo a quienes les gusten los juegos desafiantes de acción. 8,7/10

    But while this game is very visually appealing, unfortunately it remains the worst of the Soulsborne-style games.

    This game features levels that are interesting and engaging your first few times through. The problem is that they are incredibly punishing marathons and feature few to no shortcuts. So you will die a million times, and getting through the levels becomes a tedious chore. And then, for some reason, most bosses are easier than the levels that preceded them.

    Thankfully, FromSoftware reversed this trend for the rest of the Soulsborne games. Levels can be challenging, but you unlock shortcuts that are much more respectful of your time. The bosses in those games are often very challenging, but each death means usually just a short walk back to the boss.

Hope BluePrint won't remake or remaster any other FromSoft game. I don't think that developers are bad, but this genre just not their's, they do not know what to do with it, they should try to make their own games about which they will be passionate. And I'm sure, that if BluePrint would make their own game, it would be really good.

    Bunch of morons trying to bomb the review. Don't listen to them. Prob some 12yo Xbox owner with no new exclusive to play.
    The game is simply amazing. What a great remake. Worth the price and your time! Give it a shot.

    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.
