Not much to say. Deserving of its polarity. I understand what some people like about this game and it isn't totally not worth playing. However, for me, it was extremely difficult to keep myself invested and the way your character moves and feels when you control them really stands out as the worst aspect of this game. The bosses and the level design in general was extremely underwhelming for me and I struggle to remember anything I actually enjoyed here. The most memorable parts were the ones that were the most frustrating. But there are some moments or areas that successfully captures a dour and crushing atmosphere, just not as well as previous games or ones following (expect maybe Elden Ring). Still, not a bad game, a game that was unfortunately subject to a hellish, disruptive development, and one that I think deserves its fans. Personally, I am incredibly sick of people that love it or hate it debating endlessly in the most immature and petty way. It's a video game...enjoy it or not your opinion is valid. Stop acting like you don't understand why someone would like this game or wouldn't like this game. Sometimes it seems like loving or hating DS2 has become a substitute for a personality....which isn't uncommon in the pathetic dregs of the worst of the video game "community". You know who you are.
