I have almost 200 hours of Dark Souls II, so as you can imagine it, I really liked it. Despite of it, I have to admit that it isn't nearly as great as the first one or polished as the last one.
The hitbox is frequently flawed, the online connection is laggy as f* and the fact the map isn't an interconnected hell-like maze disappointed me a great deal. But as a gaming experience, it is indeed still challenging enough and extremely fun to play alone and/or with friends, so I'd give it a try.

Definitely the best AC game.

FromSoftware's masterpiece. I have lost count of how much time I've spent dying here.

It probably wasn't that good but I played this as a preteen after marathoning Matrix and it was a heck of a ride.

I was never a Diablo fan, picked this up from the local rental shop and it was a great experience.

One of the best games ever made.

It is incredible how a fanmade game can be almost as good as the original.

Couldn't play all the way through because my PS Plus ended, but it's quite good.

I have a deep connection to this gem. If you like minimalist, plot-focused games with fun, creative mechanics and a great coming-of-age-ish story, it's a must play.
