I loved the original Demons Souls and I love this remake. Bluepoint Games know what they're doing. This is how you do a remake. Take note, Square Enix.

Although some things are still outdated (like having to shoot a dragon 500 times from the same position to beat it), and the bosses are not as great as the ones in DS3 (i.e they only have one phase and a limited move set), Demons Souls is still amazing. If this was the latest installment in the Souls series, I'd give it a lower rating because it would be a step back, but this is a remake so those things can be excused.

Playing this was also special because 1) it helps you see how far the SoulsBorne games have come, and 2) i got to play multiplayer properly for the first time and I realized just how fun the co-op is (I played most other SoulsBorne games offline because of bad internet).

For those who like SoulsBorne but missed out on this on the PS3, now is your chance. You'll get to see how future games (especially dark souls 3) were inspired by this.

I finished this on NG over a week, and then spent a day going through NG+. Souls games always take over my entire life.
