I love the beginning of this game it sets the tone perfectly. You are person without name or past who will do things, they will not understand why they are doing, and you will die over and over again but feel nothing.
I love the world of Dark Souls. It feels so old like it has existed for such a long time, that people have forgotten what it meant. The world is slowly losing memory of itself.
The world has so many secrets and just small details that I'm still figuring out. I have played this game for three years and I still don't know if I see everything about it. It's just such satisfying mysterious level design. The level design constantly forces you to get a pit in your stomach when you have to jump from one corner to another corner it always nerve wrecking but God it's so good.
The combat is good and the different weapon and enemy design works well, but everything has a feeling of floating is to it, like it leg some real Power behind the animations. Everything is a bit too smooth.
Dark Souls 2 has two very big weaknesses in my opinion.
1: The game has a lot of bosse, but most of them are okay. Some of them are really bad, and a few really good bosses. It just kind of devalue the boss bar experience, when most of them are just meh
2: adaptability, When you're understand it, is kind of easy. Just get it to 39, and then you can roll through most things in the game, but you're kind of have to know it. I cannot figure out how you would know this without Googling it.
The Dark Souls 2 DLC is very good. Just the level design and how fun it is to explore we have the brume tower that is about going up and down.
A more Mayan inspire DLC that forces you to use bow and arrow to traverse. The frozen Wasteland that you play through two Times, to see the differences that the Blizzard does to the environments.
I really enjoyed Dark Souls 2 and think that the ending where you leave the throne room is one of the best in the franchise. It is lacking in gameplay department, but in the exploration it the best in the series.
