Demon’s Souls’ Adjudicator is More Interesting in Concept than in Practice

With how much DNA Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls share as the start of FromSoftware’s Soulsborne series, it can be strange to notice how different the earlier game’s bosses like Adjudicator can be from the titles that followed. This is a detail that helps Demon’s Souls stand out from its contemporaries, both among FromSoftware’s own titles and similar Souls-like titles from other developers, even if it does lead to some of the most underwhelming bosses in the series.
