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.

Dark Souls II has been one of the most publicized and critically acclaimed games of 2014, cited for great gameplay, stunning visuals and replay value. However, I struggled to understand what all the hype was about.

I never played Demon Souls and nearly missed Dark Souls 1 thanks to Skyrim overshadowing it greatly, but thankfully I got it and enjoyed many hours of grim and foreboding exploration, death and elation with a 180+ level character, buying the prepare to die edition too.

"Legend has it that in the deepest reaches of the Black Gulch, behind a door locked from the inside, is a magnificent city built for a great sleeping dragon." This was part of the description that I was given for a peculiar dragon talon that would open a door to Shulva, the first area of the Crown...

New and challenging areas; Great boss fights; Now featuring puzzles

Added difficulty sometimes feels cheap; The new puzzling element is pretty simple

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.
