Pretty sure this is a massive hot take, but this game is better than Dark Souls 1
I think, for the most part, DS1 has better bosses, but DS2 is a better game in general. DS2 bosses are WAY easier than possibly any boss in DS1, which is sad and makes DS2 suffer in regard to bosses
My favorite boss is for sure, without a doubt, Watcher and Defender (80% sure I got that name right lmao). They were like, the ONLY difficult boss, but sadly even then they weren't THAT bad. But the fight itself was still really cool and better than any fight in DS1
This game has a lot of questionable choices put into it, but it's still a fun, enjoyable game. ADP is a bad addition to the game, but the game is so easy that you can hard focus pouring levels into ADP and the game still won't get any difficult by the time you get to 27 ADP (supposedly the equivalent of a light roll in DS1), so that makes me kind of not mind ADP so much
Little to no iframes for entering fog walls I also think is a bad decision, but it's not that big of a deal, especially if you just kill people on the way to the wall so they can't attack you instead of just running by everything
Though, I most likely enjoyed this game more than most people because I gave myself 99 human effigies at the very beginning so I could play with my friends without having to farm any, so that made it a bit better. But thinking about it, I think if I didn't do this, it wouldn't make me like the game TOO much less than I currently do
This game just plays and feels better than DS1, I just wish the bosses were challenging
Would probably give this game about a 6/10
