    Worst combat of any game out there

    I dont get how this game is 9/10. The combat is so awful I will never buy this game or recommend it to anyone.For instance, when trying to block and walk backwards, instead of walking backwards and blocking, my character... Read Full Review

    Great game

    I never played the original but this version is great. There are clearly some areas where FromSoft picked up their game in later Dark Souls and Sekiro games, but it is more than just an homage to a prior game. It played ... Read Full Review

    Darkness without Blemish

    Losing myself in Demon Soul’s Dark realm was one of most wondrous experiences I’ve ever had to say the least... Such an immersive world that sucked my soul especially when descending deeper into the mines of the unknown... Read Full Review

    Demon's Souls is the best in the Souls series

    The first in the franchise of Souls, a little crude and simple, but still 'The Best' compared to the rest of the games that came after it. Graphics were great and controls were simple yet effective, making it get to the ... Read Full Review

    A playstation 3 classic.

    Demon Soul's is the best within the souls games. It has the strongest plot. The backdrop justifies everything pondered or not pondered. It's hard but not very hard. Keep trying and it'll lead to success.Bosses have perso... Read Full Review
