For me, it falls short of the first Dark Souls. Many bosses and areas, but with less quality than the first one. The graphics are a bit outdated now, but not to the point where it's unplayable. The many areas create chaos and many bosses didn't deserve to take up space in the game. On the positive side, it has nice gameplay and overall it's an addictive game. Some bosses are quite difficult as always, and many unfairly so, as they can be 2, 3, 4, or even 6 together (gargoyles), resulting in someone like me who played offline struggling more than necessary. It's worth a playthrough and I finished it, and it has some very beautiful areas like the one with the dragons. The DLC is the best part of it.

It is a good game, just like the rest of the top-rated souls series. However, the low rating goes to the unacceptable DLC, its difficulty is godlike, much higher than the regular game, resulting in tarnishing its overall image.

Equally good as the other Soulsborne games... It has 41 bosses, including all the DLCs. It has the most bosses out of the trilogy. The DLCs are extremely difficult. There is also an area with fog where you can't see anything, and in that area, there are two king pet bosses. That area is the most challenging area ever created in a game. We're talking about a lot of pain to get through that area!!! For me, it's even better than the other Soulsborne games, but this game is also amazing. 10/10 rating

Closing the series completely smoothly (having started from 3 and then to 1), I have to say that I continue to be pleasantly impressed and to eat my face off, as usual. I wanted it in my collection for a while now, but I've said that I don't buy games for 60€. I found it on the store for 9.90€ (!). I started playing, I don't know if it seemed easier than the others, but I reached level 130 in Drangleic Castle to open the step-by-step guide to progress from where I was stuck. It has the difficulty level, the classic of DS, but I dare say that the game starts from that point in the castle, especially in the DLCs, I couldn't manage at all. I don't know if it seemed easy to me until then because I didn't have the same shock as in the other two.

It is a great game, but very difficult and lacks multiplayer functionality. The way it is designed makes it almost impossible to find someone to play with online, or even play with a friend. Nonetheless, it is epic!

The familiar gameplay of the souls, with a variety of enemies and weapons. The graphics and sound are exceptional. One step below Dark Souls 3. Highly recommended for purchase, especially for fans of the genre and hardcore gamers.

The game overall is very good. What personally bothered me was the adaptability stat, which thankfully remained only in DS2
