Demon's Souls

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.

Although the gameplay of the original Demon's Souls isn't out of date in 2020, Bluepoint still did a perfect remake job.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.

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.

Este puntaje y esta review aplican para la version de PS3, que es la que jugue en su dia. Me gusto mucho, pero se nota que son los planos del futuro Dark Souls, la estructura lo hace sentir quizas demasiado gamey, menos aventura. Tampoco me gusta mucho el sistema de curas con hierbas, los Estus son una mejora de ese sistema (creo que el sistema de hierbas vuelve en el Dark Souls 2 y no se por que). Los jefes estan bastante bien, pero no me resultaron tan memorables como los del DS. Es jodido, porque estoy comparando un juego con su secuela espiritual cuando esta todavia no habia salido, pero si jugaste Dark Souls antes de jugar a Demon Souls, entonces vas a ver todos los hilos y vas a estar todo el rato pensando "Ah, si, esto estaba mejor en Dark Souls"

a good remake of the original but as a game it does nothing special. everything about this game is just decent. worth checking out if ur into the souls games. game is also way too easy.

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 ...
