A Short Review and Long Critique of Demon's Souls and Its Remake

A big, long critique/review/analysis/retrospective of Demon's Souls and its remake by Bluepoint for the Playstation 5 that I've been working on for a long time. I love this game. How does it compare to its spiritual successors, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring? And how does the remake compare to its PS3 counterpart?
