I can honestly say I spent 100+ hours on this sequel to Dark Souls, it felt longer than the original and offers great replayability in the 'game +' mode, which also introduces new characters not seen in the first playthough.

Dark Souls II does little to tone down the tough gameplay the earlier instalments were renowned for. Fans of the series won't be disappointed, though newbies may also want to get in on the action.

Retains the same challenging yet addictive gameplay; Hub layout helps to streamline the experience

Very difficult and frustrating at times; Solutions and directions are not always clear

Excellent game for people who wants a challenge

I'd heard a lot of mixed reviews on the Dark Souls games. Great,, too hard,, frustrating etc. But the overwhelming high rating and reasonable price made my mind up.... Initially wow, graphics nice and conrols fairly easy to grasp.

The Hero keeps on dying and they mention YOU DIED all the time. Poor graphics and ugly characters. After playing Skyrim and Witcher this game is from the 1990s. Avoid this game it has no aim but slash and kill. I just wonder how this game could have such a high rating seems like a scam.

it's a game how i use it is self explanatory. it's well balanced for online and offline gameplay, requires immense skill and timing, others online are mostly helpful and polite, no apparent bugs. only problem i've seen is the normal server issues that plague all game on release.

Challenging; Fun To Play; Multiplayer

This game is hard. It does not hold your hand, no directions whatsoever. You will have to put hours of work in to enjoy this. Not recommended if you are a casual player, highly recommended if you enjoy a brutally challenging experience.

Ijust barely got it and had it turned on and I love it so far keep up the good work

My boys love playing this game and play it over and over again.
