We’ve explored the depraved horrors of Snaktooth Island and the inner working of the world inside my PlayStation 5, but now it’s time to go on a real adventure.
An epic quest awaits us in the Northern Lands of Boletaria. With no one else able to step up to the plate, we must take up the mantle of Slayer of Demons, that the Old One is once more lulled into slumber. Whatever King Allant is planning, it can’t be good.
This is Demon’s Souls.

I was torn on doing this for the channel, and it’s not because I dislike Souls game. This happens to be one of my favorite Souls games, in fact.
What made me nervous is how long it can take to complete a single run of the game. I try to avoid games with large completion times because I don’t want to spend months on end faffing about and getting nothing done. I’m hoping the fact that I’m so familiar with the game, along with its more reasonable length compared to the average Souls games, will bring that down to a more manageable number. That said, I do expect this to be a longer length than my average Let’s Play stream series.
Having said that, I’m still incredibly excited to go through Demon’s Souls. While it doesn’t pull off the “connected world” idea as much as Dark Souls did later on, but there’s still a strong sense of place in every region of the game. Additionally, as we go on, I hope I can talk about and demonstrate how it has some of the best boss battle design in all of video games.
This is going to be a good time.
