Demon’s Soulshas never been more prominently relevant than it is right now. Possibly the most infamous of the From SoftwareSouls-type games, everyone has their eyes trained on thatPS5 remakethat was announced last month. It’s being made by Bluepoint, who handled the excellentShadow of the Colossusremakea few years ago.
Maybe it’s premeditated or maybe it’s coincidence (ormaybe it’s destiny) butDemon’s Soulskicks off Summer Games Done Quick this year. For anyone who hasn’t played it, it’s a fine opportunity to see what you’re getting into on PS5. For everyone else, it’ll be cathartic watching someone kickDemon’s Soulsass when usuallyDemon’s Soulsis the one doing the ass-kicking.

Monday night gets a three-hourAlien: Isolationrun on Nightmare difficulty (which saddles Ripley with a broken tracker that has a distorted display).Half-Life: Alyxis included as a bonus game on Thursday.
What sticks out to you as must-see viewing?Here’s the full SGDQ 2020 schedule. The speedrunning festivities run from August 16 through August 22. However,SGDQ will be held onlineinstead of in Minnesota this year because of the ongoing pandemic.
