As the current generation shifts into its third year, it will undoubtedly start to shed the limitations of generations past and offer a genuine next-gen experience.

It is one of few PS5 exclusives that feels truly "next-gen" as the rest of the industry continues to catch up in this transitionary period of game development.

Untethered to previous-gen consoles and developed by a pillar in the PlayStation Studios lineup, Bluepoint’s Demon’s Souls remake is still one of the few games offering next-gen visuals while taking full advantage of the PS5’s peripheral capabilities. However, as far as an actual next-gen experience goes, few games are accomplishing what Demon’s Souls did in 2020. That’s not to say some great games haven’t hit either platform this year alone saw all-time great games like Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok launch to standout critical acclaim. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles are closing out their second year, and it's safe to say neither console has truly been able to stretch its legs yet.
