a slow, careful, and oppressive trek through decaying, hostile fantasy realms where every step can bring sudden death.

What players say
Players are deeply split on Dark Souls 2: some call it overhated and say its slower, methodical combat and unique mechanics like power stancing make it a standout, while others find the level design tedious, bosses lackluster, and ADP a frustrating stat. Many recommend the original over Scholar of the First Sin due to better enemy placement.
