I'm going to go against the grain and say I like the 2020 Remake/remaster by Bluepoint. Not from a stylistic perspective but from a functionality one.
The online of the original no longer functioned, when it did it was so happenstance you'd be lucky to encounter anyone while connected.
There's so many interwoven systems that demons souls has that make up the foundations of what dark souls is lauded for. The durability meter on the side of the weapons is a nice visual cue compared to Dark souls' out of view UI and I'd even argue that the grass healing is better than estus flasks with how free you are to stockpile em and not have to return to a rest spot.

I loved the original demons souls for the PS3, it's quite a muddy and visually low game by todays standards at 720p but even then the artistic direction is amazing. For those looking for the original vision from soft had I recommend emulating the game on RPCS3 and with the upscaled textures mod if your pc can handle it.
Don't wait for the remake/remaster to come to PC. You've already got the means to play either.
My advice for those struggling with the game is one word. Persistence.
This game is so rewarding once you persevere.
Not my favourite souls game but a damn good one.
Will have to go through this version to completion before updating my rating.
3/5 for now
