Demon’s Souls Review – Your Souls Are Mine

Bluepoint Games are back with their signature style of remaking a game. They tread a fine line between making a game look incredible, whilst retaining the original layout, controls, and features. Demon's Souls is the latest showcase of their talents. Whilst some would like to see them tackle their own original title, I feel like the skill involved in how they remake games could be aimed at even more classic titles. Demon's Souls of course is the game that dawned the Souls-like. True, it was Dark Souls that really blew up and ushered in a whole new genre. When you play Demon's Souls however you start to see all the seeds being planted in design and how it evolved to become Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Demon's Souls - A Revisit Of Hidetaka Miyazaki's Influential...
