    Bluepoint Games are the masters of remasters/remakes.
    Sony needs to acquire this studio ASAP! The talent this studio has would go hand and hand exceptionally with SIE WWS!

    Fantastic game originally, and even better with the QOL changes introduced by Bluepoint. Couple that with what is basically the removal of loading screens and that iconic Bluepoint Polish and we have the progenitor of the Souls genre in top form.

    A fantastic remake. This game represents the only true next-gen experience and it shows. Every time I'm away from the game, I'm thinking about the game and how I'll best the boss that just kicked my ass for the last 30 minutes I played. This is a an incredibly satisfying game to play in regards to visuals, gameplay, and immersion.

    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

    I would recommend original so much more than this "remake". They took absolute classic and are trying to make quick cash with it. I still have original on ps3, you can get it cheap anywhere. This weak excuse for a remake shouldn't be a reason to get ps5. I'm very disappointed.

    A fantastic launch game that everyone should have in their collection. The amount of detail that went into everything, I mean even the sounds are unbelievable. All in all, the game may be a little bit challenging, but when you finish a “Boss” or Demon, you’ll never want to put it down.

    The graphics are absolutely stunning, above any other Souls game. The game use some of the Dualsense features like the haptic feedback, giving great immersion.

    The sound is incredible, every single enemy hit, explosions, spells, can be heard clean. The soundtracks are great too.

    Is this still a great Souls game that was remembered by many? Yes! Does it play fantastic? Sure! But is this a good remake? I think not.

    It's really a shame that Bluepoint went with a new art direction that lacks subtleties and eccentricities which make the original game mysteriously gloomy. This is especially evident on the controversial design changes of some enemies. I don't write

    It's really a shame that Bluepoint went with a new art direction that lacks subtleties and eccentricities which make the original game mysteriously gloomy. This is especially evident on the controversial design changes of some enemies. I don't write this to tarnish the amount of work they dedicated to the project, but a huge portion of the extra work is redundant.

    Some may argue that it's inevitable to be westernized. Well then hire more competent Asian artists with an Asian upbringing and aesthetics in Cthulhu and Japanese tentacle art.

    And some may say the original intent can in no way be fully understood because of the tech limitation that plagued the original. Well, just look at more recent Souls games like Sekiro, and see how far it's come since Demon's Souls in tech. Surely, Sekiro isn't a technically amazing game, but you can still get the idea how a proper gloomy, dark, morbid image should look with new techs.

    At the end of the day, the original will still stand high, because its art endures. And the remake is such a squandered opportunity, and SotC Remake is much better in comparison.

    I know everyone was super hyped for this game, and having played most from software games I knew what to expect. Graphically a little underwhelming compared to some other next-gen titles, but as a remaster that is kind of expected. It won't strain your ps5 thats for sure.

    Gameplay is the same love or hate is souls formula, can be extremely frustrating but also rewarding at times.

    Long story short, if you ever played demons souls, this code remains untouched, everything is right there where you remember, bosses can be defeated the same way as they used to 10 years ago, and that will please many fans, but its not just a lazy remake, bluepoint has gone the extra mile, i cant express in words about how good it looks, and how smooth it runs, maybe i notice a small drop or two in 20 hours of gameplay so far, but nothing really noticable (as a pc player i have an eye for this things), the sound makes use of the new 3d audio, and as an audio fan i can say that i see a loot of potential in this tech, its on point, maybe sometimes audio could lower its resolution, but then again, not really something that anyone can notice, and i believe this will keep evolving. On the controller, well, i think for the tone of the game bluepoint has nailed again, its not an expectacle like astro playroom, its more serious, you can feel how the trigger stops when the hit wont connect, or how it feels when you hit flesh, its just magical, and everyone should feel it, for me its a 9.8, but since metacritic wont let us use decimals, i have to give it the full 10 score. what a threat to start the new gen!

    Demon's Souls was a game that majority of the gaming community at that time didn't even care to watch its gameplay videos, leave aside buying it. It was a different kind of game, and also underrated. Sony never gave this game enough credits and left it to rot. When they saw the potential of Dark Souls, they wanted a cut so Bloodborne came out. After that, they went dark for some time and later on announced the Demon's Souls Remake for PS5, because they learned the fact that Soulsborne games are quiet popular nowadays because people are sick and tired of the casual games that have no risk and reward factor.

    With this remake tho, they've dumbed down the game just to appeal to casual players, draw and bring them in so they can make a little bit more money. Die-hard soulsfans like me are definitely going to buy it so who cares about us right? Things that made Demon's Souls Demon's Souls isn't there anymore. Boss fights are hollywoodish fights that supposedly to be 'epic', but what made them so unique is gone, it's not in the game. Every boss you face has that dark opera theme music, even they tried to make Phalanx an epic boss fight.

    What I am saying is that If you never got the chance to play Demon's Souls in PS3, buy this game. If you had the chance, however, you can always buy it later because It's the popular game right now and you are not going to judge it properly.

    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

    The original was an amazing game and I understand it had clunky controls it was the first game of the series so it was like a beta but this game fixes everything wrong and I’m at a lost for words at the graphics and overall quality of this game

    @ ALL GAME DEVS OUT THERE! This is how you do a Remake/Reforge/Reboot or whatever else you want to call it!
    After all the resent sloppy/horrible remakes of late I had no hope for Demon's Souls, glad Bluepoint showed the industry that remakes can be done right!
    Souls... you either love them or hate them.

    This game is undoubtedly one of the best in my life. The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay spectacular. They managed to do even better than the old Ps3. Undoubtedly, those who like the "souls" style cannot fail to buy this game. Super recommended!

Lighting and reflections are also incredible..... also... LOOK AT THE STONEWORK!!!
    Bluepoint knocked it outta the park.. Sony made another great call and funded an absolutely astounding piece of art.

    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.
