The sequel to From Software's ball-breakingly difficult Dark Souls and Demon's Souls has finally arrived, but Dark Souls 2 won't just break your balls. It'll crush them into a fine powder.

Vast world to explore; Deep character customisation; Looks and sounds beautiful; New Game + makes a lot of changes; Difficult like slowly chiseling into the pleasure center of your brain

Framerate suffers during hectic scenes; Loading times can occasionally cause delayed button inputs and sound effects

The time has come for the cult favorite Dark Souls to receive a sequel and this time the developers promise not to make it easy. Then again, the game was never easy to begin with, yet that is part of the reason why so many RPG fans love the Dark Souls franchise.

Excellent Combat; Crushingly Difficult

Harsh Death Penalties

bought this for my grandson who could not wait for it to come. when it did arrive he thought it was great

First I'd just like to preface by saying that (even though it won't) this game SHOULD go down in history as being not only one of the best games to ever exist, but also one of the best pieces of media.

Loved it. Will recommend it to friends and I like the features and graphics.

First, allow me to begin with a caveat; I have not completed Dark Souls . I have invested over 90 hours of play into the game, exploring the vast majority of its world and facing off against (if not defeating) many of the boss enemies.

I enjoyed the game a lot, and dying plenty of times, could you please update the description and image, to show that it is only the game being sold, and doesn't include the japanese extras, as it normally would

The game is amazing and rewarding if you are persistent and persevere through its insanely hard trials. There is a huge story in wait for those who are patient as the plot becomes apparent only towards the end of the first half of the game. The music is amazing and the BOSSes are super scary.

Dark Souls is a blessed anomaly among contemporary games. In a world where easy, shallow, and hand-holding gameplay reigns supreme, this game holds its head proudly and sticks to its noble pedigree, refusing to make compromises and demanding all the respect it deserves.

Video games have never been more mainstream than they are now, in 2013; They evolved from experiments conducted by lone nerds to multi-million projects rivaling movies in scope and ambition; But popularity does not always coincide with quality.

Do you like breezing through games with just a few clicks? Do you enjoy games telling you exactly what to do and how to do it? Do you abhor careful planning and persistent character-building? In this case; stay away from

I love this site everything is delivered to your door like a bunny out of a hat. Thank you
