This game does not deserve all the hate is gets. I played the SOTFS Rerelease version and still enjoyed it, sure I did get angry at times (Looking at you Iron Keep and Shrine of Amana) but other than that Dark Souls 2 was excellent. The overall boss quality was lacking but the atmosphere and environment more than made up for it. The music was amazing especially for the last (secret) boss.

My complaints about the boss quality could not be applied to the DLC, Almost all of the bosses were enjoyable (Other than Blue Smelter Demon and King's fallen pets) and they were all amazing.

If you've played any Soulsborne game you will enjoy this if you come in with a open mind.
