Demon's Souls doesn't just hold up, it feels fresher and more innovative today than either of its "Dark" brethren.
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?
Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.
Saad from eXputer: "Almost a decade later, it's time to take the nostalgia goggles off and accept that Bloodborne has long been surpassed by its successors."
Yes, yes it does. It’s still a great game. Elden Ring isn’t better just different and a bit easier . I like that you have to be aggressive but smart in Bloodborne
Couldn't agree more with this article. (that's why I had to post it :D)
True, Demon's Souls is special, i hope we get a sequel for the game. Even better that Bloodborne and Demon's Souls 2 will be exclusive for PS4.
I love the hell out of Dark Souls and have tried to get into Demons Souls several times. I just can't. Maybe it's the claustrophobic level design, maybe it's the Mario 64 level hub (something I've never liked).
Last time I tried to get into it, after DS2, the thing that immediately threw me off was the godawful draw distance. Most of the difficulty seemed to come from the fact that the game wouldn't render anything further than a few meters from my character.
So, yeah: I respectfully disagree with the assertion that Demon's Souls offers anything to top its successor.
Demon's Souls is a masterpiece, I finally beat it about 2 months ago. I would love a remaster of that game for PS4 using BloodBorne's engine.
It's a shame I don't have a PS3. Would really like to try this game.
