It's interesting going back to demon's souls after playing through the rest of the series. Due to accessibility, I played this entry last (I came in at Dark Souls, which is still my fav). This feels like a diorama of a souls game, a micro-version of what would eventually snowball into the sprawl of elden ring. It's a great, weird little game with a lot of character! It is quiet short, however, and any souls vet will breeze right through the majority of this thing. This remake is beautiful. I played the OG version years ago and remember it feeling quiet low budget at the time, so it's nice to see a big expensive version of DS.

Off topic kind of, but the sound design in this game is great. It's the only game that my girlfriend has asked me to put headphones in while I play, as it sounds too "squishy and goopy". Good job sound team!
