Demon’s Souls
Demon’s Souls for the PS5 launched alongside the console back in November 2020 and although it was originally released for the PS3, this was a remake.

The Dark Souls trilogy is known for putting players to the test. If you’re up for a challenge, definitely try your hand at Demon’s Souls on the PS5.
