PlayStation 5 User Reviews

Demon's Souls - the origins of a legendary sub-genre, the birth of which everyone should experience. The PlayStation 5 version adds stunning graphics, QoL improvements, and an even more incredible atmosphere to the equation.

Daje 9, ale gra jest mega toporna i parę razy myślałem że ją porzuce, bo tak zrobiłem na początku rok temu, ale po roku znowu do niej usiadłem i przeszedłem w 14 godzin. Ponoć oryginał też jest taki więc dlatego tak zrobili. Ale souls jest dobry, polecam przejść.

The best looking game on PS5 to this day. It's a shame the level design and bosses aren't as good.

Not a bad remake. Pretty good. But not as good as the og. I recommend playing both of them.

it's more of a puzzle game, than an action game! info is power in this game's context and i loved that about it. bosses were very fun and not that difficult, in comparison to skiro, elden ring and bloodborne. HOWEVER, the difficult thing is that going from one place to another. and it is such a stupid design. some mobs have more complex moveset than most of the bosses. you keep dying and dying. and yes it is no fun. especially some places killed my wonder to explore the world so much that i started to rush bosses. what bloodborne does best is that keeping mobs fun and easy compared to bosses. this game is the opposite. it is too much fun to explore a boss for the first time and killing them in first encounter is pure 0rg4sm! cryptic stuff is so repulsive, you need to keep a guide open next you. even to level up your souls. i give very low points usually, so my 7 is not equal to a some assassin's creed, it's way higher than that. as a remake it is beautiful, ive never seen a single frame that looks bad or unrealistic. this is one of the most new gen game ive ever seen. however, this remake is exactly the same to its original. so, they only focused to make it exactly the same. it is perfect that this game is 60 FPS!!! all in all, it's a very fun game to play, it becomes annoying so fast that i always thought do i enjoy this game. but now i know i did. i advise to the soulenjoyers

(Ps5 pro) Absolutamente increíble en todos sus apartados. Probablemente el mejor remake que he jugado juntos con silent hill hasta la fecha.

Nefastos puntos de control, yo no tengo ya edad para repetir una fase casi entera hasta llegar a un boss para que me mate, se hace muy complicado mejorar al personaje si siempre que terminas una fase te quitan los puntos porque hay un jefe final. Graficos 10. jubabilidad basica golpear y esquivar y algunos parris.

Da gusto jugar a un souls como si fuera una superproducción (aunque eso le quite algo de personalidad). Sin haber jugado al original, Demon's Souls me ha parecido un juego con una dificultad totalmente desbalanceada entre las zonas y los bosses finales culpa de un exceso de la llamada "dificultad artificial". Lo mejor de este juego es, sin duda, su ambientación (mejorada por el remake), su originalidad en enemigos y bosses (aunque te dejen algo fríos) y el Lore. La banda sonora, por cierto, ha empeorado con el remake (la original sí la escuché).

Um dos jogos que levarei comigo no coração, me deu momentos de arrancar os cabelos (como todo soulslike), mas a imersão que os ambientes e com a belissíma trilha sonora proporsionam compensam tudo. Um jogo que mudou a história! UMBASA!!!

I remember this was one of the very first games I played when I got my PS5 back in 2020 and it was a great game to bring me into the next generation of consoles. With great graphics and smooth 60 fps, we were back. I can't fault this game for being too easy because it is the first souls game from fromsoftware. The bosses however were fun and engaging even though they either had a gimmick attached or were easily exploitable. Overall great launch title for the PS5 and truly showed what the next gen consoles had to offer.

Great game. Fantastic little experience with some genuinely immersive setups.

I love this remake and Sony you **** up big time firing Bluepoint. **** you for that!

This is the most disrespectful remake I've ever seen. Everything about the game has been made worse. EVERYTHING. Play the original.

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"

meilleur jeu de ts les temps c est incroyable ce que je vis et ressens quand je joue a ca pourvu qu il arrive sur pc un jour je l achete net!

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.

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.

Bluepoint made a horrible mess out of an awesome game, I prefer playing the original with 20 fps and crashed sound on an emulator than having to put up with the abomination that is a game from Miyazaki made with Lords of the Fallen "art" direction.

Still a platform exclusive that I cannot play. Absolutely ridiculous after a decade of waiting.

On the subject of quality compared to other remakes - this is top notch. I don't enjoy playing older 3D games because of graphics. Would never play Demon Souls original again but this remaster is very true to the Originals gameplay and at the same time improves the graphics and feeling drastically.

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.

The start of the "soulsborne" genre, remade. Plays smooth and looks amazing. Bluepoint will captivate most of the target audience with this remake. For new players it's recommended to not look up any information online and just play the game as presented. My issue with the game is, they changed some details from the original - these details were there for a reason. Let's just say world 3-1 is better in the original. But if this is the first time you play Demon's Souls, it's great.

After pouring 35 hours into the Demon's Souls Remake my takeaway is a contrasting muddle. Incredible visuals and undeniable potential **** action adventure game were largely marred by the grinding mechanics typical of From Software titles, which resulted in leaving the experience incomplete and unfulfilled. The combat feels heavy, where every blow lands with a devastating and satisfying crunch, however, the excitement is short-lived. For every devastating blow there's a counter blow far more devastating. I spent a majority of my play-through feeling under-levelled, revisiting the same enemies over-and-over again to slowly level up. As I started to become comfortable I was making progress I went to a new world to continue the grind. Rinse and repeat. As a casual gamer I appreciate I simply don't have the time (nor the patience) to truly appreciate a game like this. The 'you will be rewarded for your endeavour' trope that From Software prides itself doesn't suit the casual gamer and whilst I enjoyed the mechanics and 'feel' of Demon's Souls, I grew frustrated by the steep challenge that stood towering over me. Whilst the gameplay is solid and the visuals are arguably the best the PS5 has seen to-date, I simply couldn't motivate myself to grind through the experience. What I find sad about the From Software formula is that I didn't abandon my playthrough because I didn't like the game, I just spent the experience never feeling like I was making progress. I would have liked to have seen the end credits roll, but as a casual gamer I couldn't invest the time and endure the rinse and repeat nature of these games. It's unfairly difficult, the story-telling is vaguely cryptic and the visuals and game design just weren't enough to keep me playing.

Making you run miles and deal with tons of enemy's on the way to each boss is a cheap way to make the game harder. Besides that the level design is pretty good besides a few exceptions. The bosses are ok and there are some pretty good ones too. And its pretty fun to explore the levels. Would not recommend as your first souls experience but would recommend to try out after you beat the other souls games

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

An insulting "correction" of the source material that critically misunderstands the design and direction and massacres the art direction. The only surviving aspect of the original game is the combat/movement.

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.

The Demon’s Souls remake is a masterclass in missing the point. It looks expensive, sure, but it feels like someone sandblasted away everything that made the original special and then proudly called it an upgrade. The atmosphere is the biggest casualty. The original’s oppressive weirdness—its dirty, uncanny, “something’s wrong here” vibe—gets replaced with glossy spectacle. Every corner is overlit, overdetailed, and overconfident, like it’s trying to impress you instead of unsettle you. That strange, lonely dread? Gone. And the sound design is straight-up butchered. The original had restraint: sharp silences, thin echoes, ugly little noises that made the world feel hostile and hollow. The remake swaps that for louder, busier, more “cinematic” audio that constantly steps on the mood. It’s noise where there used to be tension. What’s almost impressive is how it manages not to make a single thing meaningfully better. Not the tone, not the identity, not the feel—just a prettier shell that misunderstands the soul of the game. It’s like restoring a haunted house by turning it into a showroom: immaculate, polished, and completely dead inside.

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

Mesmo sendo um remake o jogo e péssimo, combate horrível, inimigos não são difíceis, so são chatos, as bosses fights são arrastada e demoradas, a ambientação e ruim, só colocaram um filtro e pronto, bem abaixo da família souls, trilha sonora nem se fala, prefiro jogar com minhas orelhas sangrando enquanto ouço Zé Felipe

One of the best remakes ever and one of my favorite game ever. I'm now on new game plus seven.

2025... Il m'a fallu du temps pour comprendre et tirer plaisir. Acheté puis vendu et nouvel achat en 2025 grâce aux différents retours. J'ai pris du plaisir apres plus 50h de jeu. Pas très familier des jeux souls like, la main prise en main n'était pas aisée. Mais après bien compris les mécaniques et choisi la bonne classe, le jeu etait beaucoup plus accessible et plaisant ... meme très facile vers la fin. Je conseille ...

A good but not amazing remake. Very fun for what it is! And very pretty graphics!

Almost perfect - difficulty level should be added as very often this game is just too hard (it is not hard if you have plenty of free time but if you dont have, it would have better feeling with easier mode).

türkçe altyazı - ps5 ilk oyunu ve benimde souls türündeki ilk oyunum , çok zordu :) %100 bitiremedim.

раньше на ps3 играл, и было прикольно. сейчас тоже купил и поиграл. ну честно говоря игра не стоит денег. просто решейд и ремоделинг. игра осталась такойже по сути. но все равно приятно играть.

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".

An absolute insult to the original masterpiece, the Bluepoint team thought themselves to be better than FromSoftware and ruined the entire soul of the game

İlk souls like oyunumdu ve çok beğendim. İnşallah bu kadar güzel oyunlar gelmeye devam eder

As the fifth souls game I beat and the one i have less than 10 hours on, i can safely say it's the weakest entry in the series. Side note I wish I had a ps3 just to play the og

El primer juego del genero soulslike remasterizado con un motor gráfico moderno pero sigue siendo el mismo Demons souls de la ps3, el trabajo que hizo bluepoint haciendo y optimizando este remastered es de admirar. claramente como videojuego souls no llega a la altura de sus juegos posteriores porque este fue el que sentó las bases del género, por lo que tiene muchos contras que se arreglaron con sus entregas posteriores. Un clásico de la industria del gaming.

This game has some of the most baffling design decisions I've ever seen. The bosses are a complete mixed bag: with some of the worst any souls-like has to offer & at the best a few decent fights. The areas range from being atmospheric, well thought out & connected, to being an absolute headache/nightmare to play. All this to say... I love it.

The 2020 remake of Demon’s Souls brings FromSoftware’s cult classic to modern consoles with a jaw-dropping visual overhaul and some much-needed refinements. Bluepoint Games stays faithful to the original’s brutal design, preserving its punishing difficulty, cryptic lore, and distinct atmosphere. While the remake is a technical masterpiece, the gameplay beneath the gorgeous surface shows its age, with clunky systems, uneven mechanics, and a lack of quality-of-life features fans now expect from the Souls formula.

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 ...

The best souls yet. Still today I find this the best game of the franchise. And the better looking too now1

Un buen juego, gráficos asombrosos,mecánicas bien pulidas, y un diseño de niveles asombroso, mi problema es que a nivel narrativo, atmósfera y arte se quedaatrás,volviéndose.Más una experiencia complementaria que una aventura imperdible

Good, but not as good as the original. From has made much better games. Fun but not that worth it.

horrendous and unplayable and overrated as fk almost no story with a weak lore, clunky controls and horribly difficult and annoying gameplay. feels like an early ps3 game (which it actually was but expected improved combat). there are no checkpoints and if you accidentally fall you have to start all over! are you serious? this is the game that started the overrated and boring "souls like" parasite
