This is easily the most divisive game From has ever made. You either love it or hate it and I definitely love it more than I hate it. While ADP is a atrocious stat since it's required for your dodge roll to do anything, it's very easy to invest points into it in the early game since DS2 has a lot of bosses you can get more souls from. A couple hitboxes are a bit questionable but you can say the same for the original DS. The lore and atmosphere of this game is incredible and a lot of the design decisions ended up carrying the rest of the series. It has lot's of incredible weapons and some phenomenal bosses within the DLC's like Sir Alonne and Fume Knight. DS2 is definitely a bit over hated but I understand why some wouldn't enjoy the slower pace of combat and certain design decisions. If you want a fun mix up of the souls formula, give this one a try.
