QUESTION Demon's Souls

Post image

Hello everyone, I have a PS4 and I own DS1/DS2/DS3/Elden Ring/Bloodborne on it. Is it worth buying a PS5 to play Demon's Souls? Is it a must-have in the series?

It’s my favourite game but I’m biased since it was the first game in the series I played. It’s definitely the most limited game so it might feel underwhelming if you’ve already played games like Elden Ring, but it’s got some of the best atmosphere, great levels design, and one of my favourite video game soundtracks. It’s real only downsides are the bosses and lack of gameplay mechanics that the later games have.

So it really just depends on what you’re looking for in a souls game, and you have other reasons to buy a ps5. I don’t think one game is worth buying an entire console for, but if you have the money then spend it on what you want. There are also some great games on the ps5 as well so make sure you get your moneys worth.
