I really want to revisit Demon's Souls some time soon. It took me ten years, but playing Dark Souls recently finally made Souls games click for me, and I'm curious if I just failed to understand Demon's Souls, or if Dark Souls was just substantially better. I actually dropped DeS five times before finishing it, and I quite literally brute forced my way to the Platinum trophy.

As it is, though, it's a really memorable experience, hitting horror game vibes better than lots of horror games do, but still offering a deep and replayable action RPG. Maybe when I have a PS5, I'll take a deeper dive into the origins of the Souls series.
