Great game! It does not get the appreciation it deserves
this game is fun
hard start tho.
but once you get to know to lvl up ADP and then fight. It's such a fun game.
had the same experience with DS1, I would get killed a lot in undead burg , but once I get to know the controls and parry I could go around the world having fun with a sword.
some other annoying things are losing max health when u die and very very weird and hard run to some bosses like second smelter demon and the 2 tigers in the blizzard
but overall liked the game many interesting mechanisms like breakable doors and altering boss arena from outside
Dark Souls 2 has the makings of a fine game, but its initial difficulty would really turn off first-time players, even including SoulsBorne fans. The strange thing is, Dark Souls 2 has the easiest bosses in the series, and the enemies are also not a real challenge to overcome, with bosses and standard mobs throwing incredibly telegraphed attacks and very often going down in a couple of hits at the most.
However, the game is very punishing in how it kills you, chipping off a bit of your maximum health each time you die. And even though the individual enemies and bosses rarely pose much of a combat challenge this time around, the real challenge comes in handling groups of enemies and positioning yourself to secure yourself an advantage. Moreover, you are encouraged to experiment, trying multiple different weapons with upgrade and infusion combinations - with the right combinations making you unstoppable at times, but the freedom to experiment is curtailed by a crippling fear of failure since the game punishes you so hard all the time. And experimenting is made harder by the scarcity of upgrade materials and how rarely one can re-roll their character. Couple this with the increased reliance on stats like adaptability and endurance, and you're in for a challenging experience that doesn't really get rewarding until new game plus once you know the game in and out. At that point, who even needs to experiment anymore?
There are some incredible new mechanics in this game that are tragically not carried over into future titles, but if you really have to buy Dark Souls 2, then you'd better get ready for a game with an incredibly steep learning curve.
This game is just such a huge dissapointment and its not even funny. They made YEARS after DS1 another part and decided to let eveything that was bad in, but kept everything that was good out. wtf? The Menu and Options are Terrible, maybe the worst ive ever seen in my life. The Keybinds for the Menu and ingame are even worse, and u cant even change them + it doesnt even show you the keybinds, on top U CANT CHOSE YOUR OWN KEYBINDS!!! Just besides from the fact that i cant save my keybinds, i also cant change em. I play on Mouse and Keyboard and this is just horrible experience, i played it before on another steam account and bought it here for a "maybe i give it another try" but i quickly realized this is pure trash. and i think i dogded a bullet from what i heard online. hands down the WORST fromsoftware game ever created!!!
It's like DS1 but there's nothing nothing about it like DS1. Really good game, you can't cheat without friends; if you're a noob you can save your saves in text files and cry less about your live decisions and wasting more than 10hrs on killing those two winter tigers. God give me strength and more beer
tbh i prefer scholar probably for items locations not enemies placement but this version is amazing but some areas feel empty but overall very fun game
played it once, had some fun, wouldn't play again
still recommend
Right off the bat, I'll admit that I have not finished the game, so if that means you don't care what I say then I totally understand. However, I've played enough of this game to tell you several things that are readily apparent by the second hour of this game.
1. This game was not play tested at all. There are bosses that weren't thought out and enemy placement (mostly in terms of quantity) that looks like they just copy and pasted the same enemy in a similar radius and called it a day. It makes the difficulty have less of a "get good" approach, and more of a "fuck you" approach.
2. It's not nearly as good as ANY other souls game. If you want an older, "classic" kind of Souls-Like, play the first one; it is leagues better than this and it's not even close.
3. Some mechanics and design choices are flaccid and confusingly thrown in. The more you die, the less overall health you have so you get punished for adapting to the difficulty thrown at you. Health is usually regenerated by Life Gems (think blood vials), but they are so dirt-cheap at the shop that you will always have health and it makes the levels way too easy sometimes. Also - maybe this is just a me thing - illusionary walls have to be found by pressing the activate button??? Why? I have to hug every wall and press E in the most random of places. It seems intuitive until you realize that the fake walls are never hinted at or look conspicuous, you just have to guess.
I honestly have much more to say, but since I haven't finished the game, I think I've said quite enough. I'm just going to end by saying the level design of this game is a bit dookie poo poo. There are some cool vistas here and there (Majula), but the overall design is so linear, so basic looking and maze-like at times, that I need to backtrack to remember where I am. It's just not that good, and there are better Souls-Like games that you could be playing instead of this one. I wish I was enjoying it as much as the avid fans do, but it just isn't worth the time to play.
after 21 hours of playing i just relized i am playing ds2 and not ds2 scholar of the first sin i was like why are some of the items and stuff not in the right spot 😭 good game tho
I finished all three of the Dark Souls games and I can't see why are some people hating on this one so much. It sure isn't as good as 1 but it at least tried to do something new and I love it for that. I enjoyed it quite a bit more than 3 that's for sure. It's original and the world is so much more interesting to explore.
The bosses are hit or miss though... super low lows but very high highs as well. Great game overall.
The controls on mouse and keyboard are super weird, jarring even but I got used to them after a few minutes.
I'm 100% sure people hate Dark Souls 2 because of the scholar of the first sin which literally tarnished the reputation of this game and is posing as the "definitive edition" so people are unwilling to give "vanilla" a fair try. That's all.
P.S.: I don't remember who I got this game from all these years ago but thank you so much:)
It has become clear to me that FromSoft and I have a different idea of what makes a game fun.
After 2 bosses this game driving me to depression like no other souls game :/
Features different enemy placements from Scholar of the First Sin, but doesn't run as well on modern systems.
Not dark souls 1 sadly, but still good, and an interesting new direction for the series. (Heres hoping we get a ds2 remaster)
This game is fun. I like it. Adaptability stat is annoying and so is the feature where you lose part of your overall health bar when you die. Otherwise this game is still Dark Souls and is therefore still a banger so you should play it.
This is by far the worst dark souls game this game actually fucking sucks bro not even mods could save this dogshit game bro... actually delete this shit
this game is fun
hard start tho.
but once you get to know how to DODGE and then fight. It's such a fun game.
had the same experience with DS1, I would get killed a lot in undead burg , but once I get to know the controls and parry I could go around the world having fun with a sword.
Can't parry in this game tho...
It's like Dark Souls 1 but worse in every aspect of the game.
So anyways 10/10
This is a great game.
Yes, it is not as good as Dark Souls 1 or 3, but Dark Souls 2 does not deserve the hate it receives.
Play this game and love it as you love your nice drunk uncle !
I refuse to believe this isn’t the most frustrating Souls game, and I’m not even playing the Scholar version. However, I don’t think it deserves all the hate it gets. I had a fun time, but I can’t really recommend it to most people. If you do want to play it, go for it. I think it's worth playing, especially if it’s the last one you haven’t tried. I also really love the area introductions, and I understand why this game sets the framework for future Souls games.
Played this after ds1, ds3, bloodborne and elden ring. This game feels like they just added stuff to make it difficult and not fun, like enemies spawning behind you. The hitboxes are also much to be desired. There are way too many stats to level up and it feels shoe-horned into the game. The buttonmappings in this are awful and some settings are forced to be combinations; had to play with controller (not really an issue though). It breaks my heart to give this game a thumbs down, but I just do not want to continue playing this game
It feels worse when u die to a boss for the 100th time then getting kicked in the nuts.
This is my honest opinion about Dark Souls 2 (classic). The game itself has a lot of issues:
Hitboxes- Sometimes Literally enemy can miss something 90 degree to you and you still get hit, also sometimes you cant hit shit, like these blue bugs that give you items.
Enemy placement- Very often enemies are placed in the way that you cant just run to the fog and fight the boss but you need to kill them over and over again EVERY FUCKING TIME WHEN YOU DIE AT THE BOSS FIGHT, so the fight itself isnt even fun, but rather feeling that you cant die to not go over the runback again. Another thing is enemy aggro and they fucking chase you the whole location to kill you.
Animations and game mechanics- Not to mention that you have to level up a skill "Adaptability" to have normal frames of being untargetable when you roll. You are getting a lot of souls from bosses so its not that bad, but still kinda annoying. Another thing is being untargetable when you are in animation, like going through fog, opening a door or chest etc. and thats kinda a problem because you ARENT UNTARGETABLE AND ENEMY WILL ALWAYS FUCKING HIT YOU. Keybinds are a bit strange but you can get used to them (i played on keyboard). Another thing is that every action in the game has like a small delay and it feels clunky af, also your character movement is very weird for example when you jump to a platfrom below, your character will roll and after he lands you have to attack before he rolls because if you dont, then you gonna fall for being locked in a roll animation while you cant do shit about it.
Bosses and Locations- Locations sometimes feels very weird like you going up inside the big windmill only to find out that on top of it is a sea of fucking lava and some big fortress (LIKE WTF?!) They feel weird but they arent bad, mostly issue is enemy placement but overall the locations are nice and have good atmosphere like Majula. Now the best part of Souls, the bosses. There is a lot of them so this is fine, but i would rather have them less but in a better quality. I mean they arent terrible, some of concepts were good af like this snake lady holding her own head, of course like in every other Souls games the dudes in armor are also cool or Nashandra that looks dark and "scary". They are cool visually but none of them to be honest is very difficult or complicated. Most of them have only few attacks that are very slow and predictable but mostly the bad game mechanics are making the fights some "challenging". They feel like just stronger versions of normal enemies.
Now to be completely honest about my final answer. Game itself is BAD AS FUCK and most of the things should be fixed in my opinion, because most of the time you arent fighting with the enemies, bosses or whatever. You are fighting with bad game design and bad mechanics. BUT! Some of the features and things were good, like these are SOULS, right? Exactly... Even when the game is bad THESE ARE STILL DARK SOULS. So if you have finished other Souls games etc. and you are really bored and want to play more then go for it and buy this game when its on discount. Try not to think about bad things that is has but about the good ones and the game itself becomes actually enjoyable. UNTIL, UNTIL YOU START PLAYING FUCKING DLC. I dropped this game just now after fighting these 3 MOTHERFUCKERS IN THE SUNKEN KING DLC. HOLY FUCK! I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED MORE CANCEROUS SHIT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE EVEN WHILE PLAYING RANKED IN LoL. Im not gonna write about dlcs because i didnt played them after the first one and fuck no. I wont. After the feedback that i heard from other people that in other dlcs are much worse things (NO THANK YOU!)
LORE IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS GAME AND ITS VERY GOOD. BAD GAME BUT ITS STILL DARK SOULS. SO YES, I CAN RECOMMEND IT.
artificial difficulty (suffocating) consisting of ugly mobs and locations, Tomohiro Shibuya don't develop any more games
作为魂系遗老，因为XCC的事，以后绝对不买万代南梦宫沾边的任何作品。
FUCK BANDAI NAMCO
I loved this game overall, there are (of course) many issues that hinder it:
1. This game is janky as hell. Hitboxes not making sense, movement being awful, buggy enemies.
2. Having to stand still while healing and making the bar slowly regenerate your health is actually not a bad mechanic, only in the DLC does it become a problem. It's only when the boss you face never takes a moment to reset, which again is only really a problem in the DLC. Lifegems are only upside, they never feel like a requirement and they're great to use for quick-time situations. Humanity being a factor in this game isn't as awful as I thought, since most bosses were easy. I never found myself struggling to keep up. It would be nice if a vendor sold Human Effigy's, but you can also farm them, so it's not a big deal. If the base game were harder, it might actually be a problem.
3. The stamina system is horrible. I swear to God, they never actually playtested stamina, because anyone with a brain would realize, in its current state, that it just isn't acceptable. Negative stamina makes sense, but you have to show it on screen somehow, it's not reasonable to have to keep looking at my stamina bar every time I swing 2 times and dodge. Leveling stamina might as well be throwing your points away, even at 50 it feels like it's JUST NOW starting to get to a point where you could call it "decent".
4. Adaptability is pointless, it should've been mixed with either Endurance or Vitality. Take it even further, all 3 should just be 1 skill.
5. The base game is so incredibly easy that it's embarrassing. I beat almost every main boss in 1 attempt, and no more than 5. Pick almost any weapon, level it to max (or don't) and go where ever. You will very easily get the hang of most enemies and bosses move sets pretty much instantly.
6. The DLC's are much harder than the actual base game. Enemies almost feel like they were designed to be used for Dark Souls 3 instead. Lots of enemies do multiple moves in one cycle, and with the aforementioned stamina mechanics not catering to it, it just feels like I'm playing the real version of the game with the wrong mechanics and movement system.
Like I said, I loved playing this game. You have to take it for what it is and the mechanics it offers. Some things are ridiculous and never should have made it into the game, but maybe it adds to the charm. It might be the worst in the franchise, but that's not saying much. It is still extremely fun and engaging.
absolute fucking dogshit, this game has positives and things that are done well but they are ruined by the core gameplay. ds3 is infinitely better in every way so is elden ring and even ds1
in my opinion, scholar is definitely the more interesting version, but this one is ok too. it's definitely the easier of the 2 versions and you probably won't need to use your torch as much.
if you like online play, like nobody is online in this version, like 10% of scholar's active playerbase (averages like 200 people). only had 3 online play experiences between my new game and new game + runs I just did: 1 rat covenant invasion (I was the rat member), 1 person summoned my from a small soapstone (you know, this lasts like 5 seconds) and someone invaded me in iron keep in new game plus somehow with like 4 million soul memory (and got obliterated to 5 poison throwing knives and me pressing r2 twice, weird). saw 0 player summon signs, but after booting up scholar, saw multiple in heide's tower of flame right away. with some of these covenants requiring ridiculous amounts of play (blood guys need 500 thingies for lvl 3, 50 jolly cooperations, etc.) you might just need to go where the players are (scholar) or get ready to grind the enemies that drop these items a ton.
This game is actually cancer like honestly if you like this game there is something psychologically wrong with. worst souls game ever not only does your max health get lowered every time you die it copies a bunch of bosses from ds 1 like honestly bullshit
Play literally any other souls game. Whack hit boxes, terrible healing mechanics. Enemies don't de agro when you go through the fog gate so they expect you to fight every enemy every time, no run backs. Still better than Scholar of the First Sin though.
doesnt deserve the hate that this game gets. its a way point to ds3 in a way. it shows more of the kindling of the flame and the previous igniters of sad flame.
Highly recommend may not be the best souls game but still a great game
I don't know why people badmouth it, besides that attacking with the mouse is not instant, its great
Most over-hated and least played game From Software has ever produced, and yet I still think it's a masterpiece. If you liked Dark Souls 1, you'll like this game. If you liked Elden Ring, you'll like this game. If the only Fromsoft game you like is DS3, you probably hate this game. Unfortunately that's a good ~10 million people.
This is Thumbs Horizontal Game. On one side it is still a Soulsborne game with all of the cool mechanics and world building that I´ve loved since I played DS1. On the other, strange mechanics like consumable finite healing items, losing hp when dying unless using humanity and some really, and I mean really frustrating and kinda stupid DLC´s this game is hard to recommend to just anyone.
Did I enjoy it? Hell yeah. Would I play it again? Without beating the DLC´s for sure, but if you have not enjoyed Darksouls 1 and 3 and wanted to keep playing against different bosses or with weird weapons, dont ever bother buying it. Also buy the remastered version, idk why I got this one lol.
Music: 10/10 Bosses: 6/10 DLC: Why/10
At least Majula is the best HUB so far :) Also dont forget to level up Adaptability.
I like more this version than the SOFS, this is more balanced, it is fun to play there are less enemies and that makes it more enjoyable
Scholar version is clearly the better version but this version does remove some of the 'stop signs' (i.e. petrified statues & dlc key locations) that are in that version. Besides that, this is basically the same but worse. That said, still great game.

This game gets a lot of flack, or rather it got a lot of flack because when it came out, it was comparable only to its predecessor. This game is better than the first in a lot of ways, (music and general legibility), and it is worse in a lot of ways, (most of the bosses are total nothing burgers). That said, in the year of our lord 2024, both Dark Souls and its sequel have been obliterated by the passage of time, and while still enjoyable in their own right, were someone to ask which is worse, my answer would be both. They are both worse than Dark Souls 3. Personally the only things I actively disliked about this game were some of the character animations, which felt a bit too jank to defend given the status of this game as the sequel to Dark Souls, and agility which is stupid and I won't pretend otherwise. That said, Dark Souls 1 is also a very dumb game, and I'd guess that me and most other souls fans have kind of forgotten how jank the first game was, and collectively misremembered how supposedly jank this game is. It's fine, fantastic game, but Dark Souls 3 exists so both prior games are mid at this point.
it seems fine so far but you are going to have to mod it if you want to play with a keyboard and mouse, it has hyper-limited keybind options and what is available is aggressively unintuitive if you played DS1 Remastered. Either find a way to mod it into having usable PC controls, use a controller, or have fun beating your muscle memory into submission only to have to retrain it from scratch in DS3
I hate this game, cant recommend this game enough
i mean, its fun (almost never) but like its too stupid. and i FLIPPING hate the burnt ivory king, hes a BITCH
It is bad, but it is part of the trilogy and the soulsborne series, so you better play it!
I can definitely tell the type of person this game was made for.
I can also definitely tell you that person isn’t me
Almost every enemy and boss in the base game is helpless against circle strafing. This leads to boss fights that are slow and painfully repetitive.
For no acceptable reason, starting characters have an abysmal amount of I-frames when rolling, even when their equipment is well below their carrying capacity. If you want to reliably dodge roll through damage in this game, you are required to dump several levels into the new "Adaptability" stat to gain the necessary amount of I-frames.
The animations for pulling levers, opening treasure chests and passing through fog walls are roughly two seconds longer than they were in Dark Souls 1, but those animations don't come with I-frames. So unless you take the time to clear the area leading up to a boss fight, you will receive cheap damage from the enemies you previously outsmarted and evaded as your character needlessly takes several moments to walk through some fog. This gets old fast.
Button presses to roll or drink from the Estus flask would often be ignored by the game, leading to unfair deaths. This has never been an issue for any other game I play with a controller.
The majority of levels in the base game lack visual detail or artistry. They feel like impractical, linear, video game hallways rather than settings in a fantasy world, and they don't even look good. Most of the levels in this game are just ugly and bland. The DLC levels do better in this area, but I was admittedly too frustrated with the base game to finish them.
But it gets worse. The whole point of Dark Souls is learning how to overcome difficult situations and rise above them. Failure in these games is inevitable, but that's not a problem because failure is an excellent teacher. Sadly, failure IS a problem in Dark Souls 2, because every time you die in this game, your character's max HP gets slightly reduced. The only way to restore your max HP is by consuming a "Human effigy" which thankfully isn't a rare item, but it's certainly not common either. This gradual erosion of HP discourages the player from taking risks and needlessly punishes them for failures (Which again are inevitable as you explore hazardous landscapes or engage with new enemies). It's a change that contradicts the core philosophy of the series, no matter how interesting it is thematically.
There were parts I liked about Dark Souls 2. This was the first souls game to feature a twin blade as a weapon and it is very fun to wield! The Blue Flame, a sword that can cast spells, is also a great addition. I enjoyed having to keep a close eye out for invisible enemies in the misty forest, and the challenge of managing a limited torch supply while carefully spotting and navigating to fire sconces in the Gutter is one of my favorite experiences in this game. Unlike most Dark Souls 2 levels, Doors of Pharros is such a beautiful and visually interesting space that I'm genuinely sad it isn't longer. It was fun to battle Ornstein in a one-on-one duel, and I especially enjoyed the skeleton-chariot boss fight!
And those are the positives. Those are the bright but scattered moments that stand out against a 30-hour backdrop of unpolished and underdeveloped potential. I wish I liked Dark Souls 2, and I wish I could recommend it to you, but I can't.
I mean, they replaced Patches with some dry loser! The nerve!
this shit is turds and the recent revisionism of it is crazy
"Sir Alonne came to this land from the east, chose to serve a little-known and unestablished lord, and helped him become the Old Iron King.
Then, at the end of the very peak of his sire's rule, Sir Alonne set out again, in search of lands yet unknown."
Despite its many frustrating quirks which indicate its unique place in the franchise, Dark Souls II remains among the most cathartic and immersive modern action gaming experiences. Most perpetual criticisms of this game are dispelled by simple virtue of its being Dark Souls.
i really liked the game, idk why people complain about it, for me it was very hard to get through some areas but i feel like this is a good challenge for yourself to accomplish
Controls are unplayably bad on pc. Doesn't look like I'm missing much by not being able to play, the graphics and animations look way worse than the one that came before this. Along with everyone in the community loudly bashing this as the worst game in the series, I would pass
