Dark Souls II is different. And that's exactly why I like it. Compared directly to Dark Souls I and III, it actually feels harder to me. Not necessarily because every boss is more difficult, but because the game as a whole lets you get away with less. Enemy groups, stamina management, positioning, and even the journey to the next bonfire punish carelessness pretty reliably. And I'm having an incredible amount of fun with it. Dark Souls II forces me to slow down more often, read the environment, and actually think about how I want to approach a situation instead of simply relying on the Souls reflexes I've built up over the years. The DLCs in particular take things up another notch. Just when you think you've figured the game out and found your rhythm, the enemies, areas, and encounters become noticeably more demanding again. To me, this isn't just "the Dark Souls between I and III." It's a genuinely distinct entry in the series. Some things are clunkier, some are unusual, and some are probably just unnecessarily cruel. But that's exactly what makes it memorable. Anyone who dismisses Dark Souls II simply because it isn't Dark Souls I or III is, in my opinion, missing out on a lot. Recommended. Even though this game clearly doesn't like me.

Однажды преданный ученик Бабадзаки подошел к своему сенсею и молвил: "О Великий поджигатель анусов разреши я создам собственный Дарк Соулс" "Да" молвил Бабадзаки и ушел в туалет. Во время разработки ДС 2 ученик не раз бегал к императорскому трону и спрашивал совета. Так и получился данный шедевр созданный без участия Бабадзаки.
love this game, everybody hates this game for some reason.

На самом деле одна из самых интересных частей, сугубо моё мнение Несколько раз прошел игру на пиратке и на лицухе, и могу сказать что я на самом деле очень много чего пропускал, в игре очень много скрытых вещей как и в других дарках собственно, но эта часть цепляет больше, может еще потому что она первая моя игра в жанре соулс-лайка Из реальных минусов это, наверное, управление Банально этот епучи дабл клик который включается каждый раз после перезахода в игру, это еще терпимо Пвп в игре это что-то очень тупое, ты либо кусок мяса который убьют за секунду, а может тебе повезет и ты встретишь равного себе оппонента, что очень вряд-ли т.к. система памяти душ на деле ♥♥♥♥♥ тупая Из плюсов я даже не могу ничего сказать, на деле то игра уже старый кал и я видимо говнoед, но кому не ♥♥♥♥♥
