4.6★ The best in the trilogy, fight me I couldn't help but fall in love with it the more I played, it has maybe the best DLCs of all the soulslike games Fromsoft made, the vibe is very nice and Majula best city
魂系列我最喜欢的一作,魂类游戏中不可逾越的高山。 给差评的原因是fs在搞什么独占游戏。 吃着全平台玩家的饭,有了现在的热度和成就,转头去做独占,这非常恶心,故而未来及之前的fs作品我都会差评,反正fs不在乎,顶多只有孝子在乎。
PEAK!!! people only hate it because they where told to. If you like dark souls I cant see a reason not to like ds2, the world is the bright, tons of veriety in weapons and spells, plenty of bosses and npc's, there is no reason the game should get the hate it does
Несколько бомжей на 1 кв. метр, таргет слетает из-за декора в локациях, спасибо, Танимура
it's just been overhated too much, the game is not that bad. It's not about stupid hitboxes it's about ur low agi lv , why u guys listen to the other than play it by urself, just enjoy the game
魂二还是很好玩的,双手各持武器,滴露,篝火探究者感觉都是很棒的设计,暗港用火把逐渐点亮也很有感觉,火把最有用的一代。
The world is beautiful and I really enjoyed exploring it. Overall I had fun with the game, but I'd give it a 7.5/10. The movement feels clunky, the dodge system is terrible, and the enemy placement is just bad. Instead of being challenging, it often feels frustrating. I also hate the healing system. Why do I have to wait for the animation and then wait again for my HP to fill up? and losing max HP every time you die until you use a Human Effigy is just annoying. I still enjoyed the game, but for me it doesn't even come close to Dark Souls 1 or Dark Souls 3.

So much better than what I heard before playing. It's a bit different than DS1 and I'm not the biggest fan of the large number of enemies everywhere. I like to be able to run past when I've already fought them a couple of times, especially on boss runbacks, but that's tough in this game. On the flip side, I think it's a cool mechanic to be able to despawn enemies by killing them twelve times. That way, the runback gets very simple and you get a nice chunk of souls to upgrade with if you want to. On the whole, an easy recommendation. As good as DS1, but different and, as DS1, a game that shows its age. It's still a great game, though!
