Originally i was just gonna say "Demon's souls but bad" and that's it but it honestly is a bit too harsh. first of all its built on the bones of a decade and half old game and somehow managing to be worst than it's predecessor
a 1:1 copy but still called a remake and also feels way worse in most areas. enemy placement, feel & vibe, just not faithful to the og whatsoever it feels completely different and not a souls game. Bluepoint did a great with the graphics and incredible sound design to be fair
some amazing attention to detail and hidden additions and QOL stuff made me appreciate it it wasn't done lazily (for the most part) it just wasn't done right imo, it is more practical to play this rather than og because its more accessible but if you can go for the og all the way
