Demon's Souls Review

Destructoid joins the fray with a thorough review of Atlus' Demon's Souls, though they leave the article scoreless because the author didn't actually finish the game.
Simply put, I was not prepared for the challenge Demon's Souls provided. I've played some difficult games lately, but this is on a whole different level. This is not a negative thing, and I feel like you'd have to play it to understand the depth of this statement. I just want to make it clear that my lack of preparation and patience is the cause for me missing the review time frame, and that the game is not at fault in any way.

Would I recommend Demon's Souls? Wholeheartedly. It's a beautifully crafted game that demands your undivided attention and forces you to recall gamer skills that you proably haven't used in more than a decade. Don't let the fact that I didn't finish it dissuade you from enjoying it. I can't wait to jump back in. Don't let the difficulty factor stop you, either. Demon's Souls is difficult in the best way, much like some of the best NES and Super Nintendo era games were. Those with enough patience and dedication will be rewarded with the type of game we just don't see much of anymore.
