    Congratulations to PS studios and bluepoint this is a well done remake of course it doesn’t have everything of the first game but I think this is superior to the original version and the gameplay is better in this version. In my opinion this is a good welcome to the new generation of PS.

    This game is so bad, as a souls fan this game has such lame bosses, all you have to win is walk around them and swing, the common enemies are more difficult than the bosses. In NG+ every enemy 2 shots you and it's not even fair, the level design is also super mid, so confusing and always getting overwhelmed.

    As a remake this game could have been so much more than just copy paste, but sadly it's very disappointing.

    You die a lot, the animation is obsolete dated 2009, draw distance is acceptible, ps5 has it hard to handle it, ps5 overheats during this game, sony uses this game to promote its unethic policies.

    I played Demon's Soul's on the PS3 and can safely say this is everything and more of what I expected. Trust me this game is no push over, prepare to die.
    Just don't waste your money on the Digital deluxe edition. It will give you literally no advantage.

The first thing people will notice is the visuals, it has the best next gen graphics seen yet, if you are looking for a game that will make you stand still just to admire the level design and beauty of this somber world. The gameplay is pretty much the same as the original with some new additions like improved animations and new bosses and weapons to use, offering the unique and revolutionary souls like experience with difficult enemies and bosses to fight, which requires a lot of patience and skill to progress, remember, each death is supposed make you learn, not punish you. The game also has a choice for people who prefer fidelity or performance offering a 60 fps experience, not usually common in previous console generations. Of the biggest feature of the PS5 can be found here, which is a fast as hell loading time, this is one of the reasons why this game feels next gen compared to previous souls games. Overall the best experience you can get on these next gen consoles of you are a hardcore gamer, offering an amazing experience to newcomers and fans of the original game.… Expand

This remake is such a thing of beauty. They kept everything from the original and did some quality of life changes. The graphics are phenomenal and undeniably the best graphics in a game that exists currently. The sound design is phenomenal and really brings to life the Kindgom of Boletaria and other places in this game. Shrine of Storms is such a treat visually and in audio, as well as Valley of Defilement which is equally oppressive and soul crushing. I am phenomenally impressed by this game. I am a veteran souls player having finished Bloodborne and Dark Souls 1 and 3, and this game still is not easy. The levels are hard and one has to be really strategic. Dying and going through an area is still so much fun as the loading is almost non-existent.

    Some people are putting negative comments without playing the game. Don't judge it until you play it. Even those who are difficult to please really love it like VaatiVidya.    … Expand

And just like that movie, there were times when I wasn't sure I could keep going. It is a relentless emotional assault that I suspect will force even the most jaded gamer to feel empathy. The game is a work of art - every aspect feels crafted at the highest level. Visuals, audio, controls, animation, level design, performance. It is astounding. And frequently beautiful. With moments you NEVER find in video games. But I cannot overstate how harrowing it is. It feels like 2 seasons of the darkest TV show you'll ever find, and it frequently better than most TV on the air. That's saying a lot. I think it is an IMPORTANT game. It tore me up, and I will never, ever forget it. DS Remake is a game that will change you. In short, DS Remake put me through hell. I did not enjoy it. I wasn't supposed to. I was affected by it. Like no game before. I am in awe of it. I am recovering from it. By the way, I saved 5 hours of my lifetime thanks to the shorter loading times. I invested the hours wisely in intellectually challenging books.… Expand

The original developers had nothing to do with the project, so I think it's commendable that Bluepoint was able to go as far as they did while keeping the base game's tone relatively intact. You can tell it wasn't for lack of effort either. The amount of detail and effort on display is staggering.

    With gameplay, I would say it is extremely faithful to the original. To a fault. The core combat is unchanged, in fact it's running the same code from my knowledge. This means that things like instant backstabs are still there, which could have been tweaked. Still, the original's core combat was exceptional and still holds up today. Additions like omnidirectional rolling, faster ladder climbing, limits to healing items you can carry, and a tweaked item burden system are welcome additions that improve the gameplay sandbox.

    Besides some missed opportunities and mistakes, I think Bluepoint knocked this out of the park. I would highly recommend this title if you have a PS5 and any interest in the Souls genre.    … Expand

They tell you nothing about magic, spells, all that other bs, I don't even know who half these people in the Nexus or when they even joined me. So many questions I have about the gameplay but the game breaks nothing down, I am tired of going through articles having other real humans help me where the devs could not. What are tendencies? Why are there red guys in the game who are overpowered and one shot me all of the sudden? what is a white and dark sould tendency? Why did they not cover it? Why is it hard to find staffs for magic and they never tell you directly how to use magic? Why is the loot system bland to the point where I am using the same weapon 24/7 because nothing good drops from bosses, or challenging areas etc. A complete joke. Overrated. This is the first game in the series; at least introduce me to some mechanics besides the basic run, attack, and dodge buttons. The lore is uninteresting, no codex, no AIs that matter, a protagonist that is silent and gets ragdolled half the time. Random crashes, hardly no improvement from previous game from what I heard.. They confused hard with tedious, they think being a pain is hard but in reality the game is tedious and straightforward: stab, dodge, stab, dodge, block, no combos, not set up, hardly any mobility...I do not have the time to grind in a boring, bland world with bland characters, no music, no story, no real interesting armor/weapons or lore, with mechanics you have to search up, no map of any sort resorting to you running around a dungeon until you die because you were supposed to go through a small unmarked door way the entire time, no objective lists telling me what to do in the world besides running around clueless. Am I the main character? Why do I feel like I am playing as someone who is a complete skill-less nobody? This game is the forefront of this generation and it is a remake.. not only that but a remake that lacks everything a remake needs. Do not tell me people hyped this mess up because it has a rep for being hard, even though it is tedious and feels like an unrewarding errand simulator where I grind and die until i reach a boss I have no clue about. Also wanted to note the boss of 2-2 is weak only to magic, died 6 times only to find out online that was the case, you know, because the lazy devs told me nothing about magic let alone the weakness of a whole boss. Literally the laziest game made by developers. Tedious combat with no combo system, just oriented around stab dodge and block, or just use magic. No lore, no introduction to mechanic, no map of any sort, no new AI mechanic, no convincing characters, this literally feels like a game that's missing a bunch content.… Expand

    beautiful game, it looks great, the gameplay is good, music is wonderful as always, and its even better in 60fps. Its only a 9 because of the bugs, though I believe they will get patched with time. Still, if you bought a ps5, this game is a must

Next gen graphics and totally same gameplay but better. Then this is a treat. Hand on heart the is one of the best games I have played and if your lucky enough to of got yourself a ps5 then you certainly won't regret this game... Only a bit frustrated from dying lots.… Expand

    Demon's Souls Remake is truly remarkable. A proper remake, true to the original. Demon's Souls Remake looks stunning, sounds ominous, and feels silky smooth unlike many of From Softwares poorly optimized games that regularly have severe frame rate problems. Highly recommended!

    Amazing game and excellent launch for the new generation of consoles. This and miles morales are the only games that feel next-gen and it's easy to dismiss it as a remake when Xbox launches with absolute Nada, nothing. A little hard but that's the fun of it. Play as a royal if you don't want to git gud.

    Played the original ps3 version and then gave up as it was too hard. Since then finished all the dark souls and bloodbourne since and decided to wait until they remade it, which they have, and its spectacular. Very soild and much better than the original. Bluepoint need to do all the From soft games as they look and run superbly.

    To be honest, I kinda wanted Demon's soul 2 or bloodborne 2, so when sony said they are making a Remake I was really sad.
    But after 10 hours playtime, I could believe how much I enjoyed this.
    Games feels so much new and fresh, it'a like I'm playing a brand new game although I played this back in 2009. I hoped now demon's soul is back we finnaly get Demon's soul 2 and bloodborne 2 P.S :    To be honest, I kinda wanted Demon's soul 2 or bloodborne 2, so when sony said they are making a Remake I was really sad.

    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.
