FromSoft didn't make Dark Souls 2 to be beaten, they made it to remind you that you will die and your soul will go hollow too.{one of the best souls game ever}
i mean i dont know despite the broken hitboxes and some frustrating enemy placements its still a really great game with a lot of memorable areas and build variety but its not my favorite in the series and definitely not the best one for me still had a lot of fun with it and dont regret playing it at all
never again! ♥♥♥♥ adaptability. other than that amazing game. STRONGLY recommend if you hate yourself
