I'm not really sure what to say about this game It's not the worst thing ever made but yet again FromSoftware just has way better games that this is just kind of embarrassing. Like this game has so many baffling choices in it that makes 0 sense, Like how when you die you lose a fraction of your max health when you die and it stack and to remove it you need to use a human effigy, it just becomes more annoying then getting cursed in dark souls 1. Life gems are a huge problem in the game as it's way more versatile than the estus and it can stack up to 99, meaning you have 99 opportunities to heal within a fight. I did have some fun with game but mainly due to the fact I was using a rapier build (This game would be worst if I wasn't using it). I will tackle the DLCs whenever I feel bothered to play more DS2.

I love this game and I am proud to say that I have finally completed it. There have been many times where I would start a new game get stuck on a boss and the reset a month or two later and on every new playthrough I would try out a new play style (which the game is very good at). Finally I found a play style and I found the last half of this game to be a breeze. Speaking of which the last half of the game (excluding Lost Izalith) wasn't as bad as I expected, while they weren't as good as the first half I didn't end up hating them as much as I thought I would. The music in this game was amazing and really fits in with the atmosphere of this game. Unfortunately, I have to play through dark souls 2.
