Dark Souls II

Second chapter of the game that marked the world. This chapter is terribly underestimated, because as far as the plot is concerned this game is the best of the saga, it is true the game play is not the best but it is valid even if not really excellent.

I love the first DS and as for this one, I just find it ok. Just ok. I had fun while playing it but after 35hrs I was like, "when does it end?" and not because I found it hard but because I felt it dragged during the final hours. I consider the first one a total masterpiece and I guess my main problem with this one is it's just "the next one."

Its sorcery simulator. dont like the roll system(i frame time is so little) in this game but the game itself is amazing but its not a masterpiece for me.

Dark Souls 2 is one of those games I have played so many times I have put hundreds and hundreds of our into it and I enjoyed very much.

For me Dark Souls 2 is a world of collapse and Decay but it's so far gone that there is almost nothing to save, every place you go that's only hollow shell of what was before.

The atmosphere is so dead, but beautiful and the item descriptions are mostly just I think this happens hundreds of years ago because the history is so far gone that it just memories now and those are almost gone.

My favorite line of Dark Souls because it's talked to me.

There is no path, beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of dark.

What could possibly await us?

And yet we seek it, insatiably.

Gameplay still very strong I enjoyed it has a weird feeling of floatiness and doesn't really feel good to play before you have the adaptability that at least add 39, but that moment you do that it feels fun. I enjoy this game as boss even if most of them are just defeated and get out of there. It's not really the most memorable boss fight game, but the world is certainly memorable for how destointed it is.

The more I played the more I enjoy this game. It's the opposite of Dark Souls 3 where I enjoyed more on a gameplay level but less and less on the story Level From the more I play it.

I tried playing this game maybe 3-4 times, always sequentially (after DS1 & demon's souls, and before DS3 & Bloodborne), always for about 10-20 hours.. and then I quit every time.

My complaint back then (when I would've rated it a 5 or a 6 out of 10) was pretty much just "this doesn't feel like dark souls", and in a way I still stand by this quote... but no longer view it as a bad thing.

DS2 actually excels above the other games in a number of ways. It is the largest/longest game in the series by FAR, it has the most variety of playstyles/classes, which are actually better balanced in comparison to the other Souls games. Hexer class & dual-wielding any weapon are a massive addition to the series, and the PvP is the most balanced I've seen out of any of the games, with little capacity for twinking.

DS2 is definitely a different kind of world from the others. But if you look past the stylistic difference of this game and immerse yourself in the new world, you might find yourself loving it just as much-- or perhaps even more, than the other games in the Soulsborne universe.
