Yo this game is definitely the best ps5 launch title I have 100+ hrs on it and it still feels fresh, as a souls game veteran, it was definitely smooth sailing after flamelurker pounded for me a good 4hrs

The graphics on this are mind blowing, and the gameplay is solid. While a souls like a game, I found it not as difficult as that title.

I've played over 250+ hours on every Souls game to date (PS3 Demon Soul's, Dark Souls 1 + 2 + 3, BloodBorne) and have the Platinum trophy on each. It is a good 1:1 remake of the original game. Bosses have added details. Gear and magic look nice. The overall combat system was modernized to match with the improvements of the latter games of the series. It has nice integrations with some of the newest features of the PS5 such as the haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and on-controller speakers (latter can be annoying after a while). I took one star off as the improvements to the movement of the combat system does not mesh well with the camera system which causes a lot of unintentional rolling (rolling in the wrong direction, weird non-seemless 180 camera flips). It seems to be an issue of porting over omidirectional rolling but keeping the old camera system implementation (hypothesis). Also, luck glitch plagued the game during early launch such that it made playing while signed in a pain. This has been fixed but I had already platinum the game by then and done about 6 different playthroughs dealing with these annoying cheaters.

This is quite possibly the best visual looking game on the PS5. Only hardcore gamers should play here as this is definitely the HARDEST game I have ever played in my life!! Gamers beware, and enjoy!

Awesome game. Great graphics. Great enhancement and remake from the original version. It looks like a completely brand new game with other features not included in the original. Definitely recommend.

This is a fantastic remaster! The game just looks insane compared to the first release. I highly recommend it with your purchase of a playstation 5. It really shows off what the console can do!

Just what the doctor ordered. It's a great addition to any PS owner's game library especially if you are playing on the PS5 with enhanced graphics and fast load times. Definitely recommend it.

The game is graphically mesmerizing. Staying true to the first demon souls it captures the same gameplay engine used in the original but with a few improvements to enemies and the forthcoming battles. The legendary Sony 3D audio obviously elevated the experience and with the added use of the haptic feedback given by the duelsense controller- it al came full circle mailing this much more than just a game. It was a memorable experience that brought me back down memory lane and left a very impressive lasting impression that makes me want to keep going back over and over again. This game is incredibly challenging and is not favored by the inexperienced or average video game player.

This game is frustrating! Cool graphics, but you have to start over from the beginning every time you die, and you die a lot!

A+ title, excellent remake of a well designed game. It is very difficult. Do not recommend unless you want a challenge. It’s good to mix this up with an easy game when it feels too difficult.

I'm glad I purchased this game! Game graphics are amazing and game play is great. This game is just challenging enough to keep a player busy, but not so challenging as to turn a player away from the game. I've played this about 6-8 hours so far and I'm liking the game play as well as the storyline.

Awesome game, a very hard challenge. A good choice to keep you busy until more PS5 games are released. I would recommend this game to anybody who likes to grind and wants rewarding game play

While not for the casual player or faint of heart, this game looks and plays great as a PS5 launch title. Go in expecting to fail (a lot), learn from your mistakes, and earn your victories.

Graphics are SPECTACULAR. Gameplay is smooth as silk. This game is a great remaster. This game maybe VERY challenging but is worth experiencing.

Faithfully recreated the PS3 original, played like I remember and the new graphics are beautiful. As a "remaster'' I don't think its worth a $60-70 value think $50 is well worth it

Great remake. Amazing graphic's and fun boss fights.

Very hard game but it feels really rewarding to learn. Performs extremely well and is basically a 1:1 remake but is by far the best version of this game ever.

Overall just a fantastic game with all the essentials of graphics and story.

Had never played a Souls type game before but bought this with my launch PS5 and this may be my favorite PS5 game so far. I had almost given up on this game as it was as hard to a new player as you read about online. It punishes you for playing fast and loose, especially in the beginning when you can’t take or deal much damage. But after taking a break and playing some of the other ps5 games I came back to it and things clicked, once that happened the game was a lot of fun and I couldn’t stop. It’s also one of the most stunning visual games on the ps5 so far.

Never played the original but this game looks absolutely fantastic on ps5 but warning the games difficulty level is a bit tough at times but if you like challenges pick it up
