A tiny bit underrated for the souls series.
Jakey put it best in his fromsoft video: this game is basically a greatest hits album... but I'm absolutely ok with that.
Elden ring can be the magnum opus, ds2 can be the black sheep for hipsters, ds can be the OG for boomers, and demon's souls can be the real OG for REAL OGs (and I guess king's field exists for ancient nutters) but imma be real with you.
When I want to listen to a great band imma grab the greatest hits album, I don't have time for The Wall and Wish You Were Here just ain't enough vibes for me... WTF was I talking about.

Not enough people put this game in their top ten games of all time and that's frankly criminal. This game dwarfs every other Indie 'masterpiece' like a fucking true titan should. The absolute culmination of classic arcade platform shooters with a truly inspired art style. This labor of love deserves your time and will reward you for it handsomely. also the soundtrack fucking slaps.

As Mauler put it, the pendulum of cultural perspective on Dark Souls II has begun to swing into its favor, I want to make sure it swings back. This game is bad, nothing about it is redeeming. Nothing about it should be encouraged. At best it's a few halfway decent ideas that got butchered in execution but AT WORST its a pathetic attempt to cash in on all the worst public perceptions of Dark Souls 1.
This game was forced into existence by an uncaring publisher while the development team of the game it's wearing the skin of went off to make something real with Sony. The rocky development it had was further marred by top-down incompetence and multiple shake-ups before it was shoved out the door stapled together and bleeding.
Worst of all it was then re-released for full price on PC in a slightly modified (but actually worse performing) state.

I mean it isn't great, but it is underrated.
more accurately, it's unfairly maligned.
I played this game on its own after being away from AC for a while and frankly had some fun.
Sure, going back I realized it's pretty dumb, and yes the grappling hook is a baffling decision... but it's still kinda fun...
