This is a showcase of the graphical beauty of the Demon's Souls remake on the PlayStation 5, captured in 4k on the game's fidelity mode. The game is stunning in both modes, cinematic or performance, though I favour the resolution increase over the frames per second gains. The game adopts a rather unconventional method of storytelling, with minimalist plot and context for the events surrounding the game's atmosphere. You essentially play an unexceptional human being who has entered through “the Fissure“ in a last attempt to save the cursed Kingdom of Boletaria from its demonic fate. Upon your inevitable death, you become bound to the metaphysical “Nexus“, a sacred temple housing Archstones which together uphold the fabric of reality. You are branded the Slayer of Demon's by the Monumental, a “monk-like“ inhabitant of the Nexus, and are charged with the extermination of all the Archdemons in service to the Old One; the game's obscure “antagonist"
