Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game looks fantastic and is super difficult. Getting absolutely ANYWHERE is this game feels as if you have accomplished something and is VERY frustrating.

Solid remaster. I have to say I did not own a ps3 when this game was released but I've been a soul's fan from the moment I played Dark souls 1 on the Xbox 360. Demon souls really ties everything together in the souls serious. I can tell where the inspirations came from and the improvements that came in the Dark souls trilogy.

I’ve played the original in it’s entirety many times. This version is better because of smooth 60fps, updated soundtrack and mind blowing updated graphics that make the game feel new even though the game is exactly the same as it was before. The map layout, the AI, the story and what this game is known for... the difficulty. To me it wasn’t as hard as it was before but that’s because I’m used to the other much harder games that have come after the original. If your a fan of Dark Souls, Bloodborne or Sekiro but never played where these games got their mojo from then you have got to get Demon Souls.

This is a glorious remake and showcases the PS5 in the absolute best light. The visuals are absolutely breathtaking. The audio is jaw dropping--seriously, play this with surround sound (7.1/5.1 speakers or a good pair of headphones using the PS5's tempest 3d audio). The game itself is nearly identical to the original PS3, but the animations and sound elevate it to another level. Series vets will immediately fall in love with the backstab animations and critical attack animations. This is as loving as a remake can be. Bluepoint games should be commended endlessly for this achievement.

Faithful remake that adds next generation flair. The omni directional rolling and increased load times are fantastic.

I didn't have a chance to play the original but seen footage on YouTube, I have to say that this game was one if not the best game I have ever played!! If you love these types of games the I promise you that you will NOT be disappointed. I had to pick this up for my new PS5 and I can't believe how AMAZING this game looks on the PS5!! And to be honest I've been playing non stop since Nov. 27th and this game keeps you so into it that you don't get bored playing it. 10/10 for everything!! Sound is 10/10, Graphics is 10/10, Story 10/10!! I could keep going and everything would be near perfect!!

Never played a souls games until now and although it was hard I couldn’t get off it until I beat every boss and it felt great, really great game

As a longtime Dark Souls fan, this remake is outstanding! I never played the original since I didn't own a PS3 so I was surprised by the excellent gameplay mechanics in Demon's Souls. The controls are very familiar if you played any of the Dark Souls games and the monsters are as vicious and unforgiving as ever. The visuals are impressive and you can switch from Fidelity Mode to maximize the texture quality and post effects or opt for Performance Mode to play in a smooth 60 fps experience. The game is a bit on the short side, so I highly recommend Dark Soul fans to buy this on sale!

Pretty awesome game. Has a bit of a PC feel with switching weapons and health stuff. The graphics and story are wonderful. I was really surprised with this game

I remember playing this on PS3 when it first came out. I could not get past the first level, so I returned it. Years later after playing the games it birthed, I am really enjoying it. It’s combat is a little slower and deliberate than other “souls” games, which I like. Plus the game is gorgeous.

Tried playing this on PS3 way back. Hated it. But I got into the Souls games finally after learning Bloodborne, and now I can say this game is a lot of fun. Good graphics. Good mechanics. Fun story. Lots of items. Big world. Well worth the money spent. BluPoint has done a good job with this.

Great souls game but easier than all of the others. If you have been wanting to play a souls game but are intimidated by the difficulty I suggest you try this one. The story and characters are also great and easy to follow unlike the other souls games. Should not be $70 though.

The visuals are gorgeous, but make sure this is your style of game. Very few checkpoints in the game so if you like a challenge you will definitely get one.

Graphics are amazing and the game play it smooth. Plays just like the original.

Nostalgia game is upgraded for next gen gaming with the highest 4K 60hz performance mode everything is upgraded for images and gameplay. Great buy for 2020

Playstation has made a good upgrade to the original version only complaints are the art style looks a little too vibrant for a world in decline. My opinion is that the ps3 hardware had the right choice about the atmosphere intentionally keeping the color and graphics more darker even with the fog but as stated this is a good example of what a remake should do improve the original game while retaining what made it belived to begin with.

As a new player to the souls games, I have good times as well as bad times with demons. I love it one day and hate it the next. I know my review is best described as an emotional tug of war but this is how I feel and I will not apologize. Just being honest here. The game is gorgeous and sound is equally saturated with attention to detail and superb quality. I reserve the right to hold one star back because of the crazy difficulty the game brings. I know it is supposed to be tough as nails and it is. I recommend playing with friends or good old fashioned couch coop. Other than the difficulty, about perfect. A very good launch title of not the best. Also be careful to not destroy walls or rage quit like I did. It will test your skills both irl and in game. Good luck warrior!

Love this game. Bluepoint did an amazing job remaking this game. The old combat mechanics where actually quite refreshing after recently beating Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne. Obviously a different style than those forementioned games; much more primitive mechanics in comparison but the satisfaction when you hit a parry and riposte is unlike any other souls born game. This is definitely amplified by the haptic feedback and sound effects emitting from the Dualsense. You feel the crunch and hear the splatter like your actually there yourself... absolutely amazing.

Epic. Plain & simple. Demon’s Souls has the makings of a perfect remaster. The graphics alone are jaw dropping. Very hard game though, so good luck!

Truly a next generation experience, the gameplay, graphics, sounds, music, combat. This game is also very challenging so make sure you have patience.
