Demon's Souls Remake is just a perfect game. Bluepoint's biggest challenge was to hit the spot in terms of "gameplay feeling" and they really done it so well that make you feel you are playing the newest game of miyazaki himself. Just as i said, this is a perfect game and perfect remake.

Incredibly, the most impressive game at the start of the new generation is a niche Japanese game I had to import from France in 2010. If you have to try one Souls game, I would suggest making it Demon's Souls.

Demon's Souls is one of the best remakes and one of the best launch titles for any platform of all time. Just keep in mind that the game is as difficult as ever, although every success is rewarded by a strong sense of accomplishment.

Although you will find some outdated aspects of gameplay and outdated in subsequent games, it will certainly give positive emotions, especially when you understand the aspects from which the successors took inspiration.

Bluepoint Games and Japan Studio have outdone themselves yet again with the remake of Demon’s Souls on PlayStation 5. The teams have stayed faithful to the core of the original game while making massive upgrades to the technical side to show off what the new console can do. Some nice quality-of-life upgrades have also made the game more enjoyable but no less challenging. Demon’s Souls is the best showpiece of what PlayStation 5 can do right now and if you’re a fan of the “souls” genre then this is the perfect way to experience the game that pretty much started it all.

In a few words, Demon's Souls should accompany every PlayStation 5 if its owner is able and willing to invest in it, both mentally and physically.

Demon's Souls is the perfect example of how new hardware can take an existing game to the next level. The estic is at its peak and the horsepower of the Playstation 5 makes the world more engaging. But above all, the super-fast charging times help balance an already ultra-difficult combat system.

The most gorgeous remake of a game yet and one that transcends the original developer's current output, and an inspired choice to bring one of the PS3's gems back to become one of the best games this gen.

Bluepoint once again offers us another impressive remake, perhaps its most ambitious proposal yet. With spectacular graphics, and the typical gameplay of the saga, perhaps it is missed a little that it has not tried to go beyond the original. Even so, an unmissable work that alone can justify the purchase of a PlayStation 5.

It may not be a brand new game, but even all these years later there still isn’t anything else quite like it.

I loved what Bluepoint has managed to achieve with the Playstation 5 remake of Demon’s Souls. This is, without a doubt, the prettiest the series has ever been, featuring gorgeous graphics and a buttery smooth framerate to die for. With that being said, this is a very faithful recreation of the 2009 original, meaning that most shortcomings related to that game’s overall level design are also featured in here.

I can't praise Bluepoint enough with just how much care and attention went into not only bringing this world back to life, but bringing it back in such an authentic way compared to its original. But even though Bluepoint will be getting most of the praise here for their exceptional work, I think it's also important to recognize FROMSoftware's original design, and just how well that design held up over the years. Souls fans with a PS5 certainly won't need to be persuaded to hop in, but I'd easily recommend Demon's Souls for the uninitiated to check out where the this third-person subgenre was conceived. The difficulty can be daunting, but it can also be overcome with enough patience and determination.

The remake of Demon's Souls can now enter the "pantheon" of the greatest remakes in the history of the medium. It offers a genuine, hardcore experience that respects the original creation, without seriously harming the trunk and character of Miyazaki's masterpiece.
