Review title of W0LF 711Best Dark Souls 2 Version

If you have played Dark Souls 2 you should know already that there were a few issues. almost all the problems I had with Dark Souls 2 on the 360 have been fixed or improved. Not only does this version play alot better but it allows you to have more summons meaning you can have an extra friend with you unlike the predecessor. And the last thing that I really love is that you can play this game as a new player or you can be a DS2 veteran and still find new experiences. Its a must have for Dark Souls fans. If you were banned on DS2 dont worry because you wont be banned on this version, but be careful not to repeat the same mistakes. All in all I say 10/10

Review title of Jay WalkZMoney well spent

People would quickly hop on the hate bandwagon because Miyazaki didn't play a big role of making dks2, but this game is actually pretty good. With the sotfs update it fixed much needed fixes for the lore and in my opinion, has the best dlc out of the souls series, but it does has it's flaws like sluggish movement and odd area transitions. It might not stand toe to toe with dks3, but nonetheless it is still a great game and worth playing.

Its a great game, mainly for patient, strategic gamers. Tip: Dont listen to the player left tips. Almost all traps.

Review title of ZanaNolI like this Dark Souls, but it has issues.

While I think this is an underrated game, I can see why people hate it. The level design is bad and the amount of enemy stun-lock causes a lot of lame deaths, but after some time you'll learn the dodge windows and git gud. The fixes/changes added in SOTFS make this game feel great to play, but it doesn't fix everything that was wrong with the original. Damn whoever thought Pharros Lockstones were a good way to block off entire areas of the game. If you never played DS2 this is a must have for people who enjoy hard challenges on top of slower, more calculated play styles. If you played the original DS2 and will always hate it, I don't blame you in the slighest. I'm having a grand ol' time with SOTFS and I hope new players will as well. No, I will not share my account. Don't message.

Review title of Damnation87Amazing game, amazing series! (Read before purchase)

First off everything you loved about DS 1 and 2 is here and much more. The story line, mechanics, lore and visuals is all here. This game is far more generous with item buffs/heals than 1 and 3 which I dislike but overlook, the placement changes really make this feel like a entirely different game and bridge the difficultly gap between 1 and 3. I consider this the true DS 2, I will warn casual players and those of low skill to stay away from this version and DS 3. Despite some reveiwers suggesting DS 3 over DS 2 SotFS for a "fair" challenge, thats a flat out lie in my opinion. The attacks are faster, window timing smaller, healing buffers limited to Estus and a few Spells/Infusions in DS3. Buffed Ad tactics to. Handholding wont be found here, if you enjoy beutifully crafted challenges then buy or go back home to mommy. When you unlock achievements check out the % compared to others and you'll understand just how tough this series is, equally rewarding too. Lets suffer together!

Review title of Souls of AmarthAmazing!!

Amazing edition to the Dark Souls franchise. From soft did PvP right in this game, minus Soul Memory being used for matchmakings an the ridiculous phantom reach of alot of the weapons. other than that its a solid game. PvE is super challenging on your first (blind) playthrough, but gets easier the more you you play, just like the other Dark Souls Titles.

Love everything about this game except the matchmaking (soul memory) system. Dark souls 1, 2, and 3 are the best games ever made, hands down.
