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.

Bluepoint studio actively ruins the visuals, music and vibe of Demon's souls.

"Lo logro señor" "¿Lo logre?" "Lo logro". El ultimo Souls de la lista. Me pase toda la saga de FromSoftware y este fue el ultimo de todos. Creo que por esta vez no hace falta que diga lo de la historia en los souls.A ver es muy corto pero capaz eso es bueno porque creo que no daba para mas. Las zonas están buenas, lastima que hay dos hogueras por zona (COMO MUCHO) y todo esta en la loma del orto, pero creo que al haber jugado tanto soulslike se me hizo todo muy fácil. Los jefes medio meh, algunos buenos pero todos muy fáciles. Pero lo que se destaca son los gráficos, NO SE PUEDE VER ASI LPM. Se ve increíble el juego. Nada, fue muy satisfactorio terminar la saga, todos son buenos juegos, y este para ser el primero esta realmente muy bien. Excelente la verdad, 10/10, mega hiper god.

This PlayStation 5 remake is a blessing for those of us who traveled through Boletaria 11 years ago.

Teensy quibbles aside, it’s difficult to imagine how this Demon’s Souls remake could be any better. It looks great, it sounds even better, and it’s extremely respectful of the PS3 original, which has aged surprisingly well after all these years. This is an exceptional remake, and it’s exactly what Demon’s Souls deserves.

My first game on the PlayStation 5. Even after 6 years of release, it could potentially still be called the best looking game of this generation. While compared to other Fromsoftware titles, the boss fights may seem a little lackluster, but the overall aesthetics of this game are enough to make up for it. My only real struggle with Demon’s Souls was the tendency system which complicates the journey to 100%. Other than that, it is the perfect introduction to the soulseborne genre especially given the fact that builds in this game do not offer as much variety compared to newer Fromsoftware games like Elden Ring, which makes it easier for players new to the genre to understand how character builds work without having to do homework.

A really masterpiece. The level design, the graphic and technical side are **** will get you a great satisfaction day by day, while you improve and you'll do step forward in a world perfectly realized and with a incredible atmosphere.

Although the gameplay of the original Demon's Souls isn't out of date in 2020, Bluepoint still did a perfect remake job. It's not only because the remake version looks like a next-gen blockbuster, but also because it plays more smoothly than before. If you love souls-like games, you really should buy PS5 as soon as possible to enjoy it.

Revisiting Demon’s Souls in this fancy new package was some of the most fun I’ve had all year. The return to Boletaria was a pleasant reminder of just how good the game is, and the influx of new players makes it the current definitive choice for someone looking to get into the series. There’s a certain boldness to releasing the game relatively functionally the same so that a whole new generation of people can experience just how weird it is. While the facelift can cause some dissonance, most will experience a beautiful action RPG with some of the most tightly-designed levels and a bevy of different ways to approach the game. It may not be a brand new game, but even all these years later there still isn’t anything else quite like it.

Demon's Souls is an amazing game to show off that the PS5 is a graphical powerhouse. The mechanics from the original are intact, just like the grim and mysterious atmosphere. This might be the best launch game on the PlayStation 5.

An unforgiving, unrelenting classic reborn for a new generation, Demon's Souls is no more accessible now than it was back in 2010 (though the frame rate is much better). If you've ever been the slightest bit curious about the Souls series then you can revisit ground zero in all its glory, making for one of the best PlayStation launch titles of all time.

While you’ll get a lot of enjoyment from your time with this title, FromSoftware has definitely refined and improved on the design and mechanics in the more recent released Souls games. Without a doubt Bluepoint Games has delivered a brilliant remaster of a niche game that not a lot of people had the chance to play originally. Demon’s Souls is worth checking out on the PS5. But if you’re looking to see what makes FromSoftware so amazing at what they do, you’re going to find a better overall experience in one of their newer titles like Dark Souls III, Bloodborne, or Sekrio: Shadows Die Twice.

It is an incredibly well done game for being Miyazaki’s first project that he got to direct. The movement is so smooth an the graphics are somehow better than Elden Ring. This game showcases FromSoftware’s abilities and the power of the PlayStation 5, this is coming from an Xbox/Nintendo player too

I came to this game after completing all Souls and playing them almost religiously (low level, builds, PVP). However, this game ain't it. It's clunky and has one of the worst level and encounter designs I've ever seen. Enemies chase you till the end of times and have so many unfair mechanics its borderline psychotic. So many "gotcha" moments and trial by error on your (first) run, it makes it very "unfun" to play. You can cower behind your shield to play through but that doesn't match with my playstlyle. In addition there are game mechanics (World Tendency) so you will miss out on items, weapons and quests going blind. In summary: It's a boring, tedious, slog to play this game. It's nowhere near the quality (of encounters) than the later games and should not be praised for anything more than being the "first".

I loved every From Soft game (except for Sekiro), but i can't get into Demon Souls, and i don't really know why. Its unforgivable, camera ****, levels are frustrating. I really want to like it, but i just can't ...
