The first photo is before, the other two are after. It had a fairly large dent from a cement column, but with enough work over a weekend, I managed to fix it completely. I mainly worked with the round heads, but the long narrow heads helped at the beginning.

Yes, it didn't become perfect and it won't do the job of a professional, but until I can afford a complete paint job and repairs, it made it look decent. I think if I try again, it will make it even better, I just didn't have enough time.

Combined with Turtle Wax Scratch Remover (link: https://www.skroutz.gr/s/40440986/Turtle-Wax-Scratch-Remover-Aloifi-Epidiorthosis-gia-Gratzounies-Aytokinitou-100ml-1tmch-0014159.html), it removed the remaining colors and now I will go over it with a pen of the same color to touch up even more. Personally, very satisfied for the 15€ I paid, compared to the 1000€ for a paint job (which I will need at some point).

Tip: The hot glue sticks it comes with are not even a joke. Prefer a good, any other brand, not the ones in the packaging.

I remember back then, in the distant 2009, I found it on a store shelf on sale and bought it without knowing what it was. I played it, got frustrated with the difficulty, and abandoned it for a month. I returned to it, determined to learn it, and eventually, it became my first Platinum trophy.

The above is the essence of Demon's Souls, in a few words. It is a difficult game that doesn't hold the player's hand but instead constantly punishes them. However, when the player finally understands what they need to do and starts progressing, the feeling is incredible. The fact that Bluepoint essentially took the 2009 game and changed only the graphics, without altering the gameplay and mechanics, shows how well-crafted the original was.

And, although it may initially seem unfair to the player due to its difficulty, it is anything but - even the strongest bosses can become manageable and be defeated with the starting equipment if the player recognizes the patterns and the strategy they need to follow. It is not a game where power surpasses everything, as even with the best equipment in the game, a wrong move can cost dearly.

The freedom it gives to players is incredible, with no restrictions on equipment and magic combinations. Each player can create a character as they wish and, along the way, transform them into anything they want. Experimentation reaches new levels, especially in multiplayer, as there are even "clubs" for PvP, and player battles are incredibly interesting.

But beyond the fantastic gameplay, the world and characters are very well-written. The player gradually discovers information about what has happened, the characters, their nature, and everything in general, trying to connect the puzzle pieces to draw their conclusions. Even years later, the story remains a major topic of discussion in the community, with players constantly discovering new things or interpreting them in new ways.

The graphics of the remaster are incredible, and the aesthetics as well: a dark fantasy RPG with everything from towering castles and Mindflayers to dark swamps, dragons, and gods. Seeing all of this with such well-crafted 3D models, amazing effects, and zero loading times when transitioning from one area to another, the world of Demon's Souls is refreshed without changing the elements that made it unique from the beginning. It is one of the games that every PS5 owner should play, as long as they have a little patience.

An awesome horror game, without unnecessary shooting and action. The protagonist, Amanda Ripley (daughter of beloved Ellen Ripley), and the Alien are the main ingredients that keep the interest and terror constant until the end.

The Alien hunts the player very cleverly, learns its patterns, and generally ensures constant terror and appearing out of nowhere. Especially on higher difficulties, it requires strong nerves to endure the continuous chase.

There are situations that require combat, either against the space station's robots or against the Alien, but the goal is to avoid them. Amanda cannot harm the Alien, only scare it and repel it. The robots are also resilient (so they require a lot of ammunition to be destroyed), and often gather in groups of 2-3, making it almost impossible to defend oneself. Overall, it remains faithful to the original idea of the invincible Alien, where a frontal attack is futile.

On the other hand, a negative aspect that I don't often mention is the long duration. It took me about 20 hours for the first playthrough, and I felt fatigue towards the end. If it were 3-4 hours shorter, I think it would have ended at the ideal point to avoid exhaustion. Technically flawless, excellent sound, impeccable production from every aspect. Hopefully, we will see a sequel.
