Demon's Souls (2020) Reviews
In short, Demon's Souls is sensational for an originally PS3 game. Bluepoint Games has done an excellent job at adapting it to modern standards, and while some aspects still could've been improved, it is a must buy for fans of the Souls genre.

The Demon’s Souls Remake is the most technically impressive Souls game to date. It is superior to the original, but at its core, it is the same game. The game offers the same core gameplay-loop you know and love, set in a fantastic world and atmosphere.
Demon’s Souls is a testament to how maybe old dogs don’t necessarily need to learn new tricks to win best-in-show, but rather how a little grooming can go a long way
We are facing the remake of the game that would mark a before and after, which would open the doors to an entire genre of its own

Demon’s Souls is everything I hoped, and a bit more. Combat is still precise, challenging and rewarding, and the world is as beautiful as it is bleak. With its new coat of paint and notable improvements to the game’s quality of life, this is without a doubt an ultimate Souls experience. It is mandatory for players who went through the original experience, as well as for those who passed it by. It’s a true next gen game, and a phenomenal start for the PlayStation 5!

I definitely recommend the game to all PS5 owners, ie about the thousandth that was the fastest when pre-orders. The game takes a recommendation from us for 9 points out of 10.

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.

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.
Demon's Souls has managed to be a satisfying game in all aspects. With its renewed graphics, it fully embraces players who want to play again and who have not experienced it before.

There is much to like and enjoy with Demon's Souls. As a remake, Bluepoint have brought a beloved classic to the future in a rather spectacular fashion. Despite a few technical niggles here and there, and disappointing integration with the DualSense controller, the game offers an otherwise exceptional experience. From the way levels must be tackled strategically, through to how gear must be chosen beforehand, knowing that everything has weight including curatives, is an added stress that players might not realise they wanted from their Soulslike games. Serving to make an already challenging experience even more rewarding, further inciting how this original title truly is the grandfather of all Soulslikes, and for good reason. The Demon's Souls remake is a masterful experience truly showcasing how its genre-bending tropes led to the creation of the Soulslike experience it is known as today.
If there’s one game to own on Day One for PS5, and you don’t mind dying a lot, Demon’s Souls is a must-have.
Demon’s Souls is an excellent game that will knock you down and challenge you to get back up in the best way possible.
Time to die again... and again ...and again. New console and graphics, still great challenge.

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.

Demon's Souls is an instant classic, one of those rare retellings that stands triumphantly alongside the original as an essential experience.
It doesn't matter if you played the original Demon's Souls or just starting the series. It is without a doubt our favorite launch title.

Demon's Souls manages to do everything it needs to do, and this remake is a testament to just how good of a game the original was, that all it needed was a fresh coat of paint and still be nothing less than fantastic.
Demon's Souls is not only the best PlayStation 5 game, it's the next-generation experience you were hoping for.
It’s still an amazingly stubborn classic, one that manages to feel individualistic even now. It doesn’t do everything right, but the remake proves the bones of the original game are still strong and relevant today. Like all of FromSoftware’s latest games, Demon’s Souls gets under your skin with a combination of abject aggravation followed by glorious elation.
