Imported from my Backloggery:
DS2 was a mixed bag. On one hand, it reached heights that may have even surpassed other FromSoft games, but has lows that are way below any of the other games. DS2 is way too reliant on inventing new, unfair ways to kill you. Many of the open areas are frustrating and have many enemies spammed in a location. Most of the bosses aren't memorable as well due to being either too easy or just unfair. There's some cool story and great NG+ mechanics as well. DS2 is really growing on me, idk why.
