No me gusta tanto como el primero, pero me a mantenido entretenido. Siento que la historia es bastante diferente al primero, se siente mas extenso y no se si es porque ya me acostumbre a este tipo de juegos pero lo senti menos frustrante que el primero. Lo recomiendo, te dara muchas horas de entretenimiento.
DS2 hate is the most forced bandwagon hate I've ever seen for a game. After hearing only bad things about DS2 and completing DS1, DS3, & ER, I had to give the game a try. First of all DS2 has some of the most intriguing level designs and game mechanics out of the 3 main souls games. From the Pharros' Lockstones which open hidden chests or secret passages, the constant weapon/armor corrosion later in the game, the unique trapped chests, the exploding bonfires which add a mental jump-scare, the torch mechanics needed for some areas, or to the bonfire ascetics to farm early NG+ items, this game is a stand alone masterpiece compared to the other games. A lot of the time you will hear people say the game/combat is choppy or buggy but its not, its really just because the game has different mechanics and has a unique playstyle. DS2 is a lot more of a punishing game in combat, it is not a game you can just run past the enemies in like DS1 & DS3, you have to fight them one by one, making runbacks a lot more challenging. Despite the challenging runbacks the bosses are usually pushovers in the game, making the levels the focus of the game rather than the bosses, which I see as fitting because most the game you are in the levels not the boss fights. Another unique thing I personally love about this game is the healing system, I love that you lose max health during death, it adds more challenge to a game that should be challenging. Furthermore a lot of people think that having to upgrade adaptability just for I-Frames is stupid but I say it's perfectly fitting for a DS game, they aren't meant to be easy games. I could keep going about why I love DS2 but I'll just end it here and say DS2 is the most Dark Souls experience you can get from a Dark Souls game and if you haven't tried it don't jump on the bandwagon of hate, it will only stop you from experiencing a masterpiece of a game.
👍 Recomendado Com 248 horas de jogo e 100% das conquistas desbloqueadas, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin acabou me proporcionando uma experiência muito melhor do que eu esperava. A versão Scholar adiciona bastante conteúdo, melhora a distribuição dos inimigos e torna a jornada por Drangleic ainda maior. O jogo oferece uma enorme variedade de armas, magias e builds, permitindo experimentar estilos de jogo completamente diferentes a cada nova partida. Além disso, a quantidade de áreas para explorar e de segredos para descobrir garante dezenas — ou até centenas — de horas de diversão. As expansões são um dos pontos altos da experiência, trazendo alguns dos melhores desafios e chefes de todo o jogo. A sensação de progresso e superação, marca registrada da franquia, continua presente do início ao fim. Mesmo sendo um título que divide opiniões entre os fãs da série, Dark Souls II possui identidade própria e méritos suficientes para conquistar quem estiver disposto a explorar tudo o que Drangleic tem a oferecer. 248 horas jogadas | 100% das conquistas concluídas 🏆🔥💀

All the bad things said about his game were true. Buy it only if the price is below 20 usd
Моя самая первая игра
Base game is amazing, Iron and Ivory king DLC are atrocious. Unless you want all achievements - don't even go there: you'll vomit your guts out. Devs were seemingly trying to create the most annoying places possible that reliably force you to bow/X-bow enemies from a mile away/from the ledge, because facing them would be simply dumb
Aunque pueda parecer tedioso al inicio, no he sentido tanto placer en todo lo que he jugado al ds1(lo he platinado) como cuando activas una hoguera, de verdad siento que me lo he ganado y que ha habido una dificultad real, y mejor enfocada al ambiente, repleto de enemigos y un camino dificil de verdad
Ta gra to szczyt gówna w jakie grałem w tym roku to nie powinno się nazywać Dark Souls , polecam nie traktować tej gry jak soulsów tylko jako oddzielna jakaś inna gra bo tu nic się nie zgadza a najlepiej skipnąć tą grę bo dużo się nie straci Ds 1 i Ds 3 w zupełności wystarczą , w tej grze bawiłem się najgorzej jak się dało nie polecam chyba że jesteś chorym masochistą i lubisz gówno gry , a i pragnę przypomnieć że w 2019 kiszak pobił osobę w kryzysie bezdomności i uciekł do rumunii nie ponosząc żadnych konsekwencji
Devasa dünyası, inanılmaz silah çeşitliliği ve Majula'nın o huzur veren atmosferiyle saatlerce başından kalkamadığım, tek kelimeyle kusursuz bir şaheser...
