Of the prolific video gaming developers in existence, From Software most likely didn't enter the considerations of many a gamer's minds. From Software's back catalogue of work ranges from the King's Field series on the Playstation to the likes of Armo...

After a short tutorial, a giant demon smashed my hero to pieces. He was then kinda-sorta revived in a ghost form, and I started Demon's Souls proper. I wandered up the steps to a mammoth Gothic castle, knocked off a few zombie-things, and was generall...

Just a few hours into From Software's already infamous RPG and I couldn't stop thinking of Lemarchand's Configuration. It's dangerous round the block For those unfamiliar with the name, Lemarchand's Configuration was the puzzle box in Clive Barker's He...
Demon's Souls is one of the best RPGs of this generation and one of the best reasons to own a PS3. It comes highly recommended not despite its difficulty, but because of it. No other current-gen game can rival the severity of its test or the feeling o...

Demon's Souls has spent a year or so developing a fanatical cult following in the US and Japan, and while not everyone will understand why, those who do are in for a treat. This is not a game that inspires lukewarm feelings. If it grabs you, it become...

Demon's Souls really isn't for everyone, and don't feel bad if you'd rather go back to a Dragon Age or Fallout 3 for your RPG fix. If you have the stomach for it, however, then Demon's Souls is an unforgettable game...

Thankyou very much Namco Bandai! Why? The life I once had has now been consumed by Demon’s Souls for the PS3. It’s been awhile since an RPG has captivated me so much and Demon’s Souls has done just that in this well made and sickeningly addictive and q...

Despite arriving in PAL territories about a year after the rest of the world, Demon's Souls is still worth investing in. The dynamic and brilliantly constructed gameplay hints at an extremely deep RPG, and one that all fans of the genre should definite...
Satisfyingly addictive gameplay. Beautifully designed worlds with some truly fearful bosses. Multiple endings. Innovative online features.
Totally unforgiving and insanely hard in places, which may put people off. There's the odd frame rate hitch.

A few of you may already have been playing this one for a while – Demon’s Souls was originally released in Japan and Asia back in February 2009 with an English-language version available from the beginning. Or maybe you just waited until last October w...
We never expected this to come out in Europe, so it’s a bonus from start to finish. Demon’s Souls is also one of the deepest and most atmospheric games out there. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone. 9.2/10Print this pageUser reviews (0)Share thi...

Eight hours. That’s how long it took us to finish the first level of Demon’s Souls. And not because it’s a particularly long one either. You could probably run end to end in about five minutes… if it wasn’t for all the enemies in between. Whether a rot...
Those who are prepared to give Demon’s Souls a chance will eventually be rewarded for their patience and will slowly learn to love what can only be described as a game unlike any other ever made. And those first eight hours? They will feel like a heart...

My first experience with Demon's Souls dates back to the hustling, bustling, absolutely insane experience that was the 2009 E3 Expo. Notepad in hand, I was lead through Atlus's booth by smiling faces, going hands-on with the latest and greatest from their talented developers. Nearing the end of my tour, I caught the unforgettable sight of a man dying and cursing repeatedly, gritting his teeth so hard you could practically hear them cracking. "What's that?" I asked."Er... did I show you Trine...

Demon’s Souls was certainly a love-hate relationship, with a heavy emphasis on the love. Unique, engaging, and frustrating as hell, Demon’s Souls will keep you playing, even through the most intense of controller-throwing fits, and honestly, t...
