In NME’s review of the game, it was described as a “a compact action RPG that’s often overly familiar” with “A handful of clever ideas [that] aren’t enough”.
The original Demon’s Souls is getting a PS5 remake and will be available on the console’s launch day. A recent video released highlighted the comparisons between the original and the remake.
