Select/Start Games Writes: "Like most RPGs of it's type, Demon's Souls is a rather difficult game to review. The game is linear, but open ended. There are 10 classes to choose from, each with varying attributes that obliquely shape the way your character evolves. The game is massive, with tons of stats, upgrades, and loot to gather. I don't know if it's possible to cover everything the game offers (much like Final Fantasy Dissidia), but I think, for me, at least, the best way I can review this game for you all is to simply tell you what you can do, and what I've done specifically for my own journey."
Soulslikes are punishingly difficult but amongst the most compelling games. Power Up Gaming goes through the top ten Soulslikes you're likely not playing.
Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?
Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.
All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.
The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.
Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.
Comparison videos of Demon's Souls & Black Myth: Wukong running on both PS5 and PS5 Pro showcase an impressive upgrade on the mid-gen console.
Well yeah it tells you the difference— 1440p vs 4k for 60fps. You have to watch the video in 4k to see the difference.
Wukong actually performs worst in performance mode, wtf!
And wheres the damn update for this game. They're still more work to be done.
I saw Zero noticeable difference when I played it on Pro. The only game I’ve seen significant difference in is FF7RB but now I get these stutters after the Pro update. I can safely say that if you don’t have a PS5 then getting the Pro is a no brainer but upgrading from PS5 to Pro is not a wise move as of now. Wait for better new games.
So you’re telling me that I DONT have a PS5 Pro and you’re telling me that I DONT have Demon’s Souls and you’re telling me that I DID in fact see a different in a game that according to you I don’t have? Im assuming you’re one of the lucky few who owns a Pro saw a major Difference in Demon’s Souls right?
Tough as nails, solid as a brick, and as annoying as a rooster at dawn—this list has it all. Here are the hardest PS3 games.
This list has nine games....
And if these are the "hardest", that's a bit alarming because I'm pretty average and I've managed to 100% more than a third of this list (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Hard Corps Uprising, and Catherine).
The game looks brilliant, can't wait to check it out.
the massive amount or reviews this game is getting.
Hope it sells like rabbits; so From Software makes a sequel.
Best RPG of 2009?
I'm still on the fence with this game but the more positive feedback I hear about it the stronger this itching feeling to play it gets.
for some reason, wordpress refused to apply the paragraphs i had when i copied the review over into the program to post it.
forgive the uber-long paragraphs! i've been trying to fix it all day to no avail!
oh yeah, and thanks for reading the review! Demon's Souls is truly an awesome game. i was pleasantly surprised by the effort from From Software.
