The original demon’s souls could no longer be experienced as its creators intended, and many had since lost hope that it ever could. who better to answer the prayers of demon’s souls hopefuls than bluepoint games after its pitch-perfect performance with 2018’s shadow of the colossus. in collaboration with sony’s japan studio, bluepoint has carefully recreated demon’s souls with a deft hand for detail, and it’s made a demon’s souls that’s just as fantastic as the original – and even a bit better.
changes have been made to the visuals, vocal performances, cutscenes, animations, and user interface – but this is still very much the same demon’s souls. you’ll create a character, pick a class, play through a series of stages, and die a bunch. enemies behave exactly as they used to, useful items still sit in precisely the same locations, and the game’s slightly convoluted tendency systems remain untouched. there’s no radical reinvention here, and this game is all the better for it.
