definitely overhated by the community. its not perfect, i recognise that and its far from it. only played this version, never touched the original, but i heard this one had worse enemy placements and ganks, which i confirm. they are bad but although stupid and infuriating, you can still give it a laugh

dont take the game seriously and you will see how much better it gets. bought this while having the mentality of "worst dark souls and fromsoft game" and let me say, i was never before been proven so wrong. objectively, yeah, its probably the worst one, but ended up kinda developing feelings for this game and i cant even explain it to you. you know its bad and unfair but somehow you still manage to keep playing and surpass that crazy amount of bullshit that the game spits in your face.

call me crazy, but subjectively i have this game over ds1 and nothing will change that. the free DLCS def improve the game.

stupid final bosses tho, legit TERRIBLE final bosses in all FROMSOFT games. but as i said, dlcs made it up for me

by far the game that made me rage the most and i loved it... (i might be masochist). DS2 ASSEMBLES !

im sorry but fume knight is not it. sure, he's hard, but not a fun and challenging hard. he has crazy amounts of damage and range, and dont let me get started on the hitboxes...

smelter demon II... no. just no. everything sucks about him, the runback, the boss design (reskin lol) the movesets, THE HITBOXES (probably one of the worst IF NOT the worst in the entirety of the game).

i enjoyed the sir alonne fight, i believe he is a fairly hard boss (probably the only one in the game), except, of course, the runback, which is also doable at the end of day. really love the level design and constant bonfires and shortcuts on this dlc, making it really fun to progress through the tower.

the best dlc, no doubt

call me crazy but i liked frigid outskirts. the runback sure is one hell of a torture, but after a very few attempts i already knew the way and how to face the reindeers. the boss was fairly easy, making me 1st trying it.

overall, i think its the prettiest dlc out of the 3.

ivory, altough not a very strong boss, sure does have a badass entrance and a good presence. moveset wise, wish i could say the same

really fun but becomes a bit repetitive after a while

i fucking need help, i cant stop playing this dogshit game. its like a drug and it made me realize i might be masochist, because aint no way i can still play this constantly every day without being one.

peak gaming experience with friends tho. really fun when u win
