One of the few games that manages to capture the magic of the first Dark Souls. Fantastic game from start to finish, recommended to any Souls and/or Metroidvania fan.
After 15+ playthroughs and over 5 years since I last played Dark Souls 2 I can finally say that I enjoy playing it, it's different and not as polished as the rest of the series but well worth playing.
Fantastic game ruined by atrocious controls and bugs, the 13min long unskippable credits doesn't really help either where they felt the need to thank every marketing department of every Bandai Namco branch.
Extremely mid "strategy" game where every faction is near identical and battles take forever because of the hexagon grid system being pure ass, the battles are a complete waste of time.
