Whenever there isn’t music playing, the environments in Demon’s Souls utilise soundscapes to establish a tangible atmosphere around the player – and they’re equally excellent. This is the soundtrack that Demon’s Souls deserves. It does wonders for the game’s tone and helps to make everything feel far more significant in a way that the original’s more manufactured-sounding score probably wanted to but couldn’t quite pull off with its limited budget. The orchestral score is suitably grand and complements the big boss fights beautifully.

The new soundtrack is so tremendously good.

Your eyes may be in for a treat here, but it’s worth knowing that your ears are, too. We preferred the enhanced smoothness that comes with the performance mode, but the full-on 4k resolution of the cinematic alternative is crazy good-looking and makes for a great way to show friends how good the new current gen looks. From the shimmering particle effects around magic attacks to the glossy stones in the game’s murky depths, Demon’s Souls is extraordinarily easy on the eyes and that’s regardless of whether you play in cinematic or performance mode. You probably don’t need us to tell you, but we will anyway – this game looks fantastic. That meticulousness carries through to the new things, too, most notably in the visuals. The lack of systemic changes serves to make this an excellent experience for both newcomers and veterans fresh eyes will be able to appreciate and witness the raw vision of the original Demon’s Souls brought into the modern age, while veterans will pick up on the tiniest of consistencies that show how committed Bluepoint must’ve been to ensuring that From Software’s original creative vision went unaltered. There’s no radical reinvention here, and this game is all the better for it. Enemies behave exactly as they used to, useful items still sit in precisely the same locations, and the game’s slightly convoluted Tendency systems remain untouched.

You’ll create a character, pick a class, play through a series of stages, and die a bunch. Changes have been made to the visuals, vocal performances, cutscenes, animations, and user interface – but this is still very much the same Demon’s Souls. In collaboration with Sony’s Japan Studio, Bluepoint has carefully recreated Demon’s Souls with a deft hand for detail, and it’s made a Demon’s Souls that’s just as fantastic as the original – and even a bit better.
