At the end of the day, Dark Souls II uses more subtle changes to find its own flavor and place in the series as a whole, rather than reinventing the wheel.

Astounding in its scale, Dark Souls II is a landmark slice of gaming brilliance to savour. [May 2014, p.55]

Don't listen to the dumbass haters this game is legendary and my favorite of all time. Dark souls 3 was a disappointment!

El juego más infravalorado de la saga con muchísima diferencia, trajo muchísima innovación, para que elden Ring pudiera correr, dark souls2 gateaba, una lástima todo el contenido recortado, deseo firmemente que hagan algún día un REMAKE

Dark Souls 2 bears the torch of Dark Souls with honor. No mean feat! [Apr 2014]
Mar 13, 2014
The core gameplay and basic design sensibilities have been retained, and while there are some concessions to player ease, they don't interfere with the gameplay
Mar 11, 2014
A carefully considered sequel that avoids upsetting existing fans and offers an olive branch to newcomers – all the while retaining its position as one of the most challenging, and rewarding, video games of modern times.

Two steps forward and one step back for this incredibly challenging and rewarding experience.

Dark Souls 2 won't change anything: if you liked the experience FromSoftware offered in the former episodes, then you will like it again. But if not, you won't start liking now. The great atmosphere, the feeling of loneliness, the intriguing soundtrack and the difficulty still make the quality of this game. But Dark Souls 2 begins to fall behind from the technical point of view, and it's far too demanding for such old-school gameplay.

Carrega todo o legado de Dark Souls, uma obra prima
Infelizmente foi muito afetado pelo "efeito manada", mas sua redenção foi linda de se ver

The is the epitome of a 7/10. Mostly middle of the road level design, slightly clunky but playable combat, some points are highlight, some point are uninspired and phone in, the ennemy placement feels a bit like a bad mod, the builds are very free form and fun to play around. The high of this game are moderately high and the lows a pretty abysmal but all and all, this is a game that was a blatant cash grab from Bandai Namco and made to emphasize the multiplayer aspect of fromsoft games and on that front it succeeded but the game itself feels mostly boring, uninspired and at times incredibly annoying.

El menos bueno de los souls. Le falto desarrollo mas fino y dejara de llenar artificialmente los escenarios. Y la hit box de loe peor, a pesar de ello muy superior a la media de los souls.

Tras jugar al primero, tenía muchas ganas de esta segunda parte. En este caso, me llevé una decepción enorme. No voy a molestarme en comentar lo que tiene el juego porque es lo mismo que el primero. ¿Qué ocurre? Que es todo más cutre y, lo más importante, no sentí ni la sorpresa, ni la presión, ni el agobio que era enfrentarse a los jefes. Algunos ni llegaron a impresionarme en cuanto al diseño. Lo mismo en cuanto a los escenarios, ya que a día de hoy sigo recordando los del primer juego, pero los de esta segunda parte son totalmente olvidables. Conforme iba jugando, me gustaba menos. En esta segunda parte, introdujeron que las armas tenían desgaste y se podían romper, un aspecto que a mi me revienta y no **** mi caso, no me resultó nada complicado terminar el juego, al contrario que el primero que en algunas ocasiones hay zonas y jefes bastante exigentes. Aquí eso no ocurre. No ocurre, pero llega el DLC y suben la dificultad a unos niveles que te quedas flipando, con unos jefes finales que son una locura, como los dos tigres blancos gigantes o le caballero negro con la espada de fuego. Un juego para olvidar.
