Peak Souls 2
sunlight bro
It has its flaws but gets more hate than it deserves. Great game. I didn't initially like Scholar, but the changes to lighting and pursuer outweigh the bad (at least for me). Not my favorite souls game, but something about it keeps making me come back.

idk why ppl hate this game a lot but from my experience (even though i am not finished the game yet on record) I can say the game is super difficult and Grinding as f*ck Especially if you not Prepare for mid and end game (YOU GONE DIE A LOT OVER AND OVER). I play the game on mouse and keyboard and it's so bad so just play the game on controller (I do not have one) Compare to dark souls 1 remastered. I have also have weird problem with the game that every time i want to play the game I should first make my monitor refresh rate to 60hz, if I do not do that the game will become unplayable as f*ck Stuttering, Lagging, input Delay. 7/10
Guys………………what’s happening?……………. Im not struggling as much with this game as I have with ds1. I’ve leveled up adp only 3 or 4 times and im doing perfectly fine. How am I enjoying this more than Elden ring?!? From soft pros, please help!
Good game
no... just no...
Ignorem às críticas e joguem com mente ABERTA. Sempre ouvi mt coisa ruim em relação ao ds2 e resolvi dar uma chance lá para 2023, comprei no meu ps4 e AMEI! Platinei lá e zerei várias vezes. Dark souls 2 continua o legado do primeiro jogo ao mesmo tempo que cria coisas novas. Várias mecânicas daqui viraram padrão na formula souls. Claro, houve algumas coisas passiveis de críticas e o jogo não é perfeito (até pq não existe nada perfeito), mas vejo que está longe de ser aquele jogo terrível que parte da comunidade julga ser. Amo a atmosfera e exploração desse jogo. Para mim são os pontos mais altos. Gosto muito do humor meio tosquinho que rola em alguns momentos, e claro, a melancolia presente em vários momentos. Não joguei o 1 ainda, mas o ds 2 se tornou meu jogo favorito da Fromsoftware e tenho um carinho enorme por esse jogo. Recomendo demais!
The black sheep of the bunch. Truly an odd ball for better and worse. In the past I had played DS2 on me ol Xbox 360 and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hated it never even got past pursuer. However recently I was forced to take off my diaper and put on the big boy pants as I was doing a Dark Souls marathon and so I had to finally play DS2 all the way through. And you know what... (never before said words incoming) its not that bad. By far the most challenging part of this game are the zones (and ADP). The bosses are all straight weenie hut junior but getting to them is the true first sin. Not much to say about this one besides that so yeah... play this one don't be afraid 8/10 - Majula clears other hubs not gonna lie
Not Dark Souls 1, but it's the 3rd best thing!
