Not the best fromsoft game, but still great, especially when it comes to its bosses. The combat hasn't aged the best with elden ring pretty much being a natural evolution of it and being better because of that, but it's still fun. Lore is great and very climactic too.

The greatest game ever made. Will add a full review at some point.

Good game, gets outdone by later titles in the series tho.

A total mess. This game really felt the loss of Miyazaki. If you want a good review of this game, watch the YouTube video "in defense of Dark Souls II: Scholar Of The First Sin" by creator Mauler. (It isn't actually a defense).

I love the combat. Along with aethstetic, lore and setting the atmosphere is fantastic. Shame that all the areas post-Rom kinda suck until the dlc and the bosses in the base game (aside from Gascoigne and Gehrman) aren't great either. I want to like this game more than I do but there are gaping holes that bring it down for me. Still a great experience though.

Absolute masterpiece- I would understand if somebody said this was Fromsofts magnum opus but I still prefere Dark Souls 1 a bit (i am biased)
