Review Witt997 5/5 · Dec 27, 2021
bel gioco di from software, all'epoca una hidden gem: difficile, cupo e appagante. lineare nella sua struttura a livelli, con un hub centrale. giocato su PS3 e rimane eccezionale. Voto: 9.5/10

Demon's Souls näyttää hyvin Souls-sarjan kasvukipuja. Iso osa elementeistä on ollut jo alun alkaen paikallaan, mutta ne mitkä eivät ole, ovat melko ärsyttäviä piirteitä (kuten estusten puute, carry load esineissä ja bonkut pelkästään bossien jälkeen). Aikanaan varmasti ollut erittäin silmiäavaava kokemus, mutta nyt viimeisenä pelaamanani souls-pelinä ei vakuuta niin kovaa. Bossisuunnittelu on kanssa melko vaihtelevaa: suurin osa on todella helppoja, …

Bossisuunnittelu on kanssa melko vaihtelevaa: suurin osa on todella helppoja, mutta en taida olla ollut missään pelissä yhtä kauaa jumissa kuin olin tässä Flamelurkerissa. Saatana. Ei tämä silti huono ole, mutta ehkä on hemmotellut itsensä pilalle myöhemmillä From Softwaren peleillä.

Read moreIn a way, Demon's Souls rebooted video games. Its development and release is a fascinating story fraught with hurdles and the game was only released through dumb luck and oversight, finding success through pure word-of-mouth. It was not a game of its time but it ended up being the perfect game for its time. In general, video games were moving towards a focus on streamlined mechanics and bombastic action set-pieces that were designed to keep gamers entertained but not necessarily challenged. With a strong sense of artistry and atmosphere, Demon's Souls instead harkened to an era of tough-as-nails gaming that had passed and yet somehow revealed itself to be a path to the future for the industry. Even in the 2020’s, the design decisions found in Demon's Souls resonate through video games at large. This game simultaneously invented and perfected a certain type of challenging action RPG featuring asymmetrical online encounters, mechanics that have crept into countless other games. The sense of accomplishment one receives from progressing through this game is second-to-none. The journey is dauntingly perilous and not for those who have little patience, but as the player chips away at obscure systems and cryptic riddles, the beauty of discovery and enchanting mystery begin to emerge. Finally finding oneself on the other side of the game's harrowing passage through darkness and despair feels like a power-fantasy in the truest sense. From Software certainly refined and improved this formula in their later titles, but Demon's Souls is where the magic first took root. The legacy of this ultimate underdog and all-time great has never been more obvious.

Review Toupaloops 5/5 · Oct 1, 2020
Overall I was surprised by how well this game held up 10 years later. It’s just as good as the later games, if not better. Just avoid playing as a mage if you’re looking for that same level of challenge. Below is my video review
Review leuxexmachina 5/5 · Aug 18, 2019
Demon´s Souls es un juego difícil, eso es vox populi, pero es uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado.
Su ambientación medieval decadente, sus enemigos variados e impredecibles, su compleja e interesante mitología, y su gameplay estratégico, hacen de este juego una verdadera joya. Si te gustan los retos difíciles y gratificantes, este es tu juego.
Review ChristopherDeleon 3/5 · Sep 16, 2017
Some of the best level design and environments in a Souls game, but the difficulty is far greater than any other FromSoftware game and it keeps me from completely finishing this game. I will at some point, and will possibly give a better rating.
Review Destinystarx 5/5 · Jan 27, 2014
My number 1 PS3 game. A game that can punish you if you don't be careful. I found that even though I would lose a lot, I wouldn't get mad. Maybe because when you mess up it's actually because of your own mistakes...
The lore is pretty awesome too. I like how you basically have to find out everything yourself …

The lore is pretty awesome too. I like how you basically have to find out everything yourself and put the 'pieces' together.
Though I must admit, Dark Souls is better, but Demon's Souls is my personal favorite out of the two.
