Demon’s Souls Remake (PS5, 2020)
The Demon’s Souls Remake has its flaws, which is to be expected for a near one-to-one copy of the 2009 classic. Yet, when people ask me for PlayStation 5 game recommendations, it’s always towards the top of my list purely for how dang impressive it looks.
Bluepoint’s remake is breathtakingly gorgeous, right from the moment you step into Boletaria. Somehow it’s still one of the few games that really feels next-gen. Console games running at 60fps and 1440p are quickly becoming the standard, but the Demon’s Souls remake was one of the first to accomplish this feat. It felt like I was stepping into a new era of gaming, yet still only scratching the surface of the PS5’s power. — Jeb Biggart
