Demon's Souls

Amazing game for a long time I have not played in the type of games and it is so fun to play in the game Amazing animation Crazy battles I love this game so much.

It has amazing art, lore, and atmosphere. But in order to defeat most of the bosses you have to learn their movement and attack patterns, while doing that you often die and have to go through the whole level again that often annoyed me and I thought there should have been more shortcuts to unlock.

Or maybe I'm just a filthy casual.

This is a perfect introduction to the soul series. The graphics are easily better then elden ring the world building is beautifull the atmosphere is beautifull the lore is good good gameplay some hard boses some hard enemies all the worlds are enjoyable except the poison swap in the 5th world The pure white and black tendecy are very unique while they can be anoying they are still very well done The multiplayer has potential its decent bit could have been better executed Overall its a good souls games expecialy considering this was the first souls game.

Souls games encourage you to get better I recomden you should give them a chance.

I'm also going to be honest and say that about 5 hours in, I thought about giving up and snapping my disc in half. But I persevered, and about 10-15 hours in something just clicked.

I became more patient, learned how to effectively beat the enemies, and started having fun.

The atmosphere it created and the Incredible detail in the worlds, buildings, terrain and enemies (especially the bosses) really astounded me.

For me, it was hard and unforgiving. It's not a game I could say I can relax to. But it is a game that, when things are going well, is the most rewarding that I've ever played.

This was actually my first Souls game and I loved every second of playing it. The graphics are absolutely stunning, the voice acting great, the gameplay satisfying and the bosses are just...so cool.

It was much less hard than I expected, to be honest. Especially as the royalty class which made this game much more accessible for me as a "souls noob"; and you could indeed outlevel certain areas in the sense that normal mobs were much easier to beat - with a bit of soul grinding.

The only small complaints I'd give are:

• relatively short (I was at 31hrs with 3 optional mini bosses missing)
• lack of armor & loot variety for my desire to customise
• no option to sell items, just store
• lack of integrated lore and cutscenes (even finding letters or similar would've been great)
• no warning that past the last boss the NG+ automatically starts, so I missed out on 3 optional encounters.

I know this is very true to the original, but addressing these points would've elevated my rating to a 10.

Die-hard fans might be outraged, but going back from this to now Dark Souls 3 really feels like a frustrating step backwards. The graphics and art of the game are just not great, especially considering it was released three years after the Witcher 3.

The combat feels clunky, and I have many many more deaths. Replaying and traversing of areas feels stale especially compared to Demon Souls by FromSoftware. I'm excited for their next game, an original IP & not a remake!
