EldenRing gave me the confidence to try DemonsSouls. I didn't anticipate how much more I'd love the PS5 remake.
Prior to 2022, I was what you might call a “Dark Souls hater.” I just couldn’t find the fun in acclaimed FromSoftware games like Bloorborne, which left me raging without giving me the sense of reward die-hard fans feel when they slay a tough boss. So, it came as a shock when I fell in love with Elden Ring earlier this year. Its open-world structure cracked the subgenre wide open for me, allowing me to better understand the appeal.
Legible design Coming off of the 100-plus hour Elden Ring, Demon’s Souls is much easier to swallow by comparison. The action-RPG features five more linear zones to explore and can be completed in under 20 hours. When I started my playthrough, I figured I’d poke at it until I got frustrated and quit, just as I did with Bloodborne. Instead, I completed the entire game in 17 hours with barely any struggle beyond the second boss.
That same philosophy applies to the levels leading up to bosses too. The more straightforward areas aren’t as reliant on “gotcha!” traps that are a fun shock once and an annoyance every time after. Something like a surprise boulder drop only tends to happen once or is easily avoided once you know it’s coming. Demon’s Souls isn’t really interested in making players struggle over and over just to get to the point where they can even begin learning.
Demon’s Souls doesn’t have that problem. I always felt a difference when I made a single vitality stat increase or weapon upgrade. I became much more willing to farm for experience or resources because I knew exactly how it would pay off. I was able to settle on a build much earlier as I could better feel how each stat would shape my playthrough.
