Bluepoint's remake of Demon's Souls on PS5 is, much like the decay and sorrow hanging over its world of Boletaria, a melancholic indicator of just how much time has passed since 2009, how dramatically the world of games has shifted in that period, and how the Souls series has become such a driving force of that change—and it all amounts to a truly staggering experience.
