Not as good as Ds1 or Ds3, it is also slower and the movment and combat are very janky.

It is not for me but others will probably enjoy it.

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is a challenging RPG that takes players into the dark world of Drangleic. The game presents a tough challenge, offering difficult battles, numerous secrets, and dynamic exploration. The combat system relies on precise stamina management and well-timed attacks, making every encounter a strategic endeavor.

The game world is filled with hidden passages and secret locations, while the rearranged enemies and items in New Game Plus mode provide fresh challenges. Scholar of the First Sin punishes mistakes but rewards patience and a deep understanding of its mechanics.
  • Massive content.
  • Greater enemy and boss variety.
  • Camera mechanics in tight spaces.
  • A large number of enemies.
  • Problematic adaptation mechanics.

UNDERRATED OVERHATED GOAT GAME
  • Great environments
  • Lots of enemy variety
  • Lots of freedom and how you play the game
  • Level design subpar
  • Some bosses fall short
  • Sometimes animation can be very robotic and toylike

You can't change your settings properly and the default settings are bad. The game is overpriced for sure even with 50% discount. You can't change controller settings and you don't get obvious signs of the controlls. I do not blame Instant Gaming for this. I just don't like the game.

most areas changed from Dark Souls 2s initial release in terms of enemy placement, making the game slightly harder then before but overall it's still easier than DS1 and 3 albeit being longer.

It's a decent game in a series of absolute kings of gaming so it's worth giving a try.
  • 3 additional DLC areas with unique items, weapons, bosses, etc.
  • for some people making the game harder could be a downside

As a long souls fan i will definitely recommend this. its challenging, a lot of fun and has an immersive world. So many different varity of weapons like its predecessor and sinking hundreds og hours in to this is my only way to go

Best Souls 2 confirmed

no reason not to buy it considering it's always supe cheap and it will last you really long, first playthrough will be around 25-40 hours, such a well done game, it has its flaws though, just like any other fromsoftware titles

I have always loved the souls series and I would also recommend this game to anyone who likes the souls series. It's perfect to get it here for cheaper, I have already been waiting for the game to be on discount but to buy it here is even better

A souls classic, kind of distant from the first and third chapter but however a nice game to play, if you get used with the combat mechanics (slightly different from the first game).

The lore is very different, pretty forced by fan-service behaviour developers adopted.

However it's undeniable that this game boasts astonishing environment and interesting, DLC enhance this experience which is a must for every lover of the saga.

  • Astonishing environments
  • Cool NPCs, enemies and bosses
  • It's a Souls game, bruh!
  • Not the best Lore
  • Slightly mechanic combat mode

The dark souls with the most content but the least polish especially hitboxes enemy pve.

Has the most RPG among the souls, easier to level up, and even buy healing items.

Most enemies have limited respawns(usually 10-15). So you can fully clear out an area.

Has the most bosses but many of them are very mediocre or reused but now in ganks or reused reskinned from DS 1.

Worse input control and response, many broken hitboxes compared to DS 1.

Iframes are tied to a stat, check wiki for exact details, default rolling has very low iframes.......game does not explain this............

In short, I still recommend it to souls fans, but only after playing the others.

DS 2 has the most changes in NG+ among the DS series big plus.

Also easy to increase the local map difficulty by using a semi-rare item.

The game has many maps/areas, most of them are made up and do not make sense in realistic map design.

Normal souls like game it's super hard and seems very unfair but if you stick to it you'll enjoy your journey. Through the hard and easy parts this game is still very fun though of all three of the souls game this one seems the most unfair

This game is at the very top of my favourite games. The lore is just amazing and it's way longer than the other two chapters. There are more ares and bosses, a total of 31. The problem is that you often really don't know where you have to go and you might end up going around for hours just to find the correct way. Most of the bosses are pretty hard and you have to lear their patterns.

It's way different from Dark Souls 1 and 3, not just because of the lore, which is different from the other two, but because of the hitbox. Although the hitbox registration is often wrong and not only bosses but every enemy can hit you even though you rolled. Using estus or spells literally block you and you must wait until the animation finishes. The roll is a bit slow, too.

Buy this game if you really want to finish the dark souls series, but my advice is that you must buy this game for last, because a new player to the dark souls series would freak out. Learn to play the souls series and finish you experience with this chapter.

If you are a fan of the souls series, buy it.

Amazing game. Great atmosphere. Some people say it is the worse of the three. I think it is different but as addictive as the other two. Also, including three DLCs it has the a lot of content. Absolutely brilliant.
  • Addictive gameplay
  • Atmospheric visuals and sound

this game is good but not the best of the series, its a long journey but you wont regret it . bosses 80% of them are piece of cake but there are few challenge one s , visuals are excellent and run very smoothly .

I recommend this one especially for new comers in the series because this is the easiest one of them all
  • visuals and frames are great

I was really sceptical towards buying the game since mostly every comment I've read about it was negative, but I decided to give it a shot. Easily one of my favourite DS2 games, infinite value at this price.

This game difficulty wise compared to DS1 there is much more of a learning curve on this game comparing the 2. This game is much harder but it's nice to have an ever-changing challenge. The game could use some changes but when you get to start playing it. Be prepared to day much more then the first one.
  • Difficult game
  • Not as forgiving as DS1
  • Bosses shift what they do during a battle
  • Level system

Namco made a huge error by calling this game Dark Souls 2. At best it's a spin off, but in truth it's an entirely new game with its own lore which barely references the events of the first game. It might as well be an untold sequel to Demon's Souls, with which it actually shares much more elements in common. It would have been better received by the critics if it had been named something like Dragon Souls or whatever, but I suppose Namco wanted to milk this providential franchise and decided to slap a 2 on it.

Anyway, DS2 is a great game on its own, largely on par with DS3. While DS3 is nothing more than a glorified "best of" episode which lifts entire levels and concepts from DS1 and even Demon's Souls (Irithyll Dungeon is a shameless rehash of Latria Tower for example), DS2 tries hard to invent its own mythology and atmosphere while still using the same proven gameplay formula. Chances are if you loved Demon's Souls for being its own game and not a prequel of Dark Souls, you'll equally appreciate that Dark Souls 2 tells its own story in a loosely familiar universe.
  • It's not the sequel to Dark Souls 1, which is good
  • Great atmosphere and intriguing lore
  • Harsh but fair difficulty
  • Should have been called Dragon Souls
