Hook, line and sinker dude. Never played a Dark Souls title, though I loved both Bloodborne and Sekiro. I actually purchased the original Demon's Souls on PS3 - you know, back before it was cool. I was baffled by it. I tried to force my way through its never-ending labyrinth of pull-your-hair-out challenges. I didn't survive. I only got a few levels in. Picking it back up for PS5, though? Bluepoint's faithful remake is an absolute stunner. The combination of the gorgeous graphics and the smooth-as-eggs gameplay had me neck-deep in this thing from Day 1. I beat it 3 times and got the platinum. I couldn't stop. I love Fromsoft.
