I actually have played Demon's Souls, but the semi-permanent health loss for each death was a very early deal-breaker for me.

this is one of the most interesting remarks that I see come up very often about the series, when people complain about one specific game penalizing their health for death. as far as the Souls games go (not counting Bloodborne), every single one of them penalizes your health for death except for dark souls 1.

- demon's souls has your health reduced while a phantom

- dark souls 1 has no penalty

- dark souls 2 has your health reduced slightly each time you die, then you can recover it all at once. ironically this is the one I see people complain about the MOST without even realizing that the others also penalize you for death and do it even more harshly.

- dark souls 3 has your health reduced when you're not embered.

yet for some reason with 3/4 of the games having a penalty I swear you always see people in souls threads talking about how "I didn't like how (insert game here) penalized your health total for dying." almost all of them do that. only one of them doesn't!
