    From PlayStation Studios and Bluepoint Games comes a remake of the PlayStation classic, Demon’s Souls. Entirely rebuilt from the ground up and masterfully enhanced, this remake introduces the horrors of a fog-laden, dark fantasy land to a whole new generation of gamers. Those who’ve faced its trials and tribulations before, can once again challenge the darkness in stunning visual quality with incredible performance.
    In his quest for power, the 12th King of Boletaria, King Allant channeled the ancient Soul Arts, awakening a demon from the dawn of time itself, The Old One. With the summoning of The Old One, a colorless fog swept across the land, unleashing nightmarish creatures that hungered for human souls. Those whose souls were stripped from them, lost their minds - left only with the desire to attack the sane that remained. In this video Dreamcastguy does a brutally honest review of the Demon's Souls remake on PS5. This is an extend review of the story, new combat changes, and great controls show while talking over gaming of the game running on a PlayStation 5. Is this game worth the price? Lets see the goods and the bads.
    Now, Boletaria is cut off from the outside world, and the knights who dare penetrate the deep fog to free the land from its plight, are never seen again. As a lone warrior who has braved the baneful fog, you must face the hardest of challenges to earn the title “Slayer of Demons” and send The Old One back to its slumber. Discover where the journey began
    Experience the original brutal challenge, completely remade from the ground up. All presented in stunning visual quality with enhanced performance, this is the world of Boletaria as you have never seen it before.
    Become the slayer of demons
    Venture to the northern kingdom of Boletaria - a once prosperous land of knights, now beset with unspeakable creatures and ravenous demons. Meet strange characters, unhinged and twisted by the world around them, and unravel the unsettling story of Demon’s Souls.

    Bro Dark Souls had some bonfires that were FAR AWAY that made you have to through a lot just to try the boss again. (ie, Seath, Ornstein and Smog, Gwnn) What are you talking about? Demon's Souls also has some short cuts you can open up. C'mon man. smdh I'm sick of people criticizing Demon's Souls for the same things that are in Dark Souls that they praise all the time.

      You can run to every boss in demons souls in a minute. There is how many shortcuts and once you fight all the enemies for the first time and get to the boss you can easily run past all of them back to the boss. Idk what this dude is talking about in the review. The only boss that kind of sucks running to if you die is penetrator since you have the knights on the stairs that can absolutely punish you if you roll wrong.

    The diffculty is fun and rewarding. But to me the best element about FromSoft games are the world and level designs. This, along with the way Miyazaki wants the players to experience the story through the "less is more" approach. Fun fact: When Miyazaki was a kid, his family was poor. He loved Manga. So when ever he wanted to read them, he went to the community library to borrow them. However, The Manga, was in English, which he did not understand. So he just enjoyed looking at the illustrations and fantasizing the story. According to himself, that's something he has taking with him to FromSoft games. He wants players to experience the story through the environments.

    I love the game so far. Never played the PS3 version. I've died more times than I care to admit in the first level of the game on my way to phalanx but now after running through it about five or six times soul farming it's a lot easier. Even the first time I thought the red-eyed Knight it killed me about three or four times before I changed up my strategy. I kept trying to overpower it like I've been doing the blue-eyed knights but that ended up being the wrong strategy turns out blocking and strafing it was so much easier. I'm perfectly fine with how much I've died in this game so far. Admittedly I've only fought phalanx and the tower night but I was able to eat beat both on my first try. The environmental enemies on the other hand wrecked me more times than you can imagine.
    Quick hint to new players who read this . The two blue-eyed knights outside the tower Knight arena can be farmed for high-level grasses pretty easily once you beat the tower Knight

      Please get some good exclusives. If you like Japanese games, I would highly recommend 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. 13 Sentinels was made by VanillaWare and because of that, the game is visually stunning. It is truly an under appreciated PS4 exclusive. It also has a great story and came out this year in the West. It's sad that the game isn't that popular, especially considering how bloody good it is. I would even attempt to call it a masterpiece and therefore, it is probably my favourite game of the entire generation.
      Another game I would recommend to get is Persona 5. However, most people know about it anyway.

      When they made Bloodborne the specified they tried to recapture the feeling/essence of the Tower of Latria from Demon's Souls, its one of the main reasons why so many fans of the original DeS were hyped for Bloodborne 🤔
      Also there was a direct reference to DeS in the original Bloodborne alpha, found by a japanese player, as Father Gascoigne says "Umbasa", which might imply Bb and DeS were initially in the same universe. Personally I consider BB as a DeS sequel but that's just me 😌

    I don't think the big distance between checkpoints makes the game worse. I would argue it makes it better, because you have a second chance to get your stuff back if you can return without dying again. This can make things *terrifying* at times, but it's super satisfying when you succeed. I played this on the PS3 last year and I had a blast with it (although it sucks that the servers were offline), but I've yet to play the Dark Souls games, Code Vein, The Surge 1 & 2... all of which are still in my back catalogue of games I need to get to, hence I'm in no rush to play this again.

    I purchased so many games this past Christmas that I decided to wait for this. It's a good game to get during the gaming drought that happens every year around this time. I mean, we (fiancee and I) picked up both the Xbox Series X and PS5 *physical. We snagged Watchdog's Legion (Series X), Call of Duty Cold War (Series X), Cyberpunk 2077 (Series X), Assassin's Creed Valhalla (PS5), Sackboy's Adventures (PS5), and Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5). This doesn't include the PS4 games we grabbed either.
    I figured that I already played through the original Demon Souls (PS3) many times that I could wait. Well...I've waited long enough and tomorrow I'm picking it up. This game for some reason has been eating at me for weeks..."Buy me, buy me, buy me, buy me!" I cannot wait any longer it's time for some Demon Souls and it better be as good as it was on the PS3! ;)

      Trial and error is how you learn something without direction. Not necessarily memorization.

Trial and error can also be how you become more talented, practiced, aka "get gud."

      coming from a demons souls player, he's actually really wrong here. theres only really two or so bosses where that is a problem, maneaters and penetrator. all other bosses can basically be ran to in a matter of seconds (in the case of phalanx, armor spider, flamelurker and adjudicator{if you know the shortcut wink wink}) or at most a minute or two. all the arch demons are literally just a loading screen away and the player is even awarded a couple of easy bosses such as king allant, maiden astraea and fools idol. this game has been called the easiest of the souls/borne games (an opinion I slightly agree with). most of the bosses have shortcuts anyway, so dont be afraid to give this game a try.

My rating is 9/10 I think it is the best game this year followed by FF7, then GoT.

My advice is...don't, there is alot to love and enjoy but it may take you getting used to dying and learning. You do feel quite the badass when you learn how to fight the enemies and where they are, cuz you pretty much own them...until the next level haha. This game is perfect the way it is, you have to adapt to it, not it to you to enjoy it and you will feel accomplished when you finally beat that section or enemy or boss 😊👍👏 thanks for this review gc guy, I expected a 9.5 because of that negative you said(as I have experienced that) but it really is just part if the adventure aspect and doesn't take away from the game, causes you to sharpen your skill(iron sharpens iron 😊)

    I don't like hard games but it isn't because I don't enjoy a challenge. I find most games have cheesy mechanics that can either benefit you or hurt you. One example I can recall is Horizon Zero Dawn having these explosive barrels around one of the big boss battlefields but nothing I did to the barrels damaged the enemy, so it seemed like they were only there to hurt me even though they were placed in a way that suggested it was part of the technique to defeat the boss. Basically, I like hard but not cheesy hard. Give me difficulty but don't give me confusing, glitches, or no-win fights.

    Demon's Souls Remake so far has honestly been really fun. I've played all of Dark Souls and Bloodborne, and I have to say that Demon's Souls Remake is really fun. I was never able to play the original one because I discovered Demon's Souls was a thing only 2 years ago, but once I heard of the remake only a few months ago I was dead set on getting PS5, and this game does not dissappoint. Yes the game is difficult, yes I'll get mad, yes there is basically next to nothing different other than a few minor improvements, but the game is amazing. The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen, I have surprisingly came across no bugs or glitches yet, and I am having loads of fun with this game. For anyone who is a souls fan I recommend this game, especially if you haven't played Demon's Souls before. Yes you could just get a PS3 and buy the original for like $15, but it would be nice to give this a try. Also there is a possibility that we could get DLC for the 6th Archstone, so that would be another reason to get this game. Although that is a possibility and not guaranteed.

    Thanks for all your work dreamcastguy. Mind if I ask why u need to stipulate that your reviews are honest ? And what is the diff between brutally honest and honest ? I am just curious. I like reviewers I give time to to be sincere. Sorry if u have answered this before
