greatest souls of all time
Words cannot describe how much I despise this abomination of a Videogame. I played through it all, with all the DLC´s and it felt like getting tortured by the Zenobites and Sauron at the same time. This game controlls like a nightmare, it´s ugly as hell and it literally spits on the lore and wordlbuilding of Dark Souls 1. I gave it a fair chance but it´s like this game wanted me to hate it more than I hated myself while playing this sh*t. Do not get tricked by "fans" telling you that Dark Souls 2 ist overrated or anything. It´s overrated and underhated, for every copy of this game should be gathered and thrown into the hellish chasm from which they came. The bosses are also an insult to Miyazaki and the DLC´s are not worth any money. I should get paid one million dollars for even considering playing this game and a billion dollars for wasting my precious time on it. Whoever designed frigid outskirts shall never touch any game with his tainted hands forever. I played through every souls game (for i do not want to call this piece of garbage a souls game) and had a lot of fun. I platinumed DS1 on my PS3, DS3 on my PC and Bloodborne on my PS5. I even made two Soul-Level-One-Runs in DS1 and this was much more enjoyable than playing this game for one minute. I´d rather get crucified than playing this game ever again. Burn in hell Dark Souls 2. Burn in hell.

Es malo con ganas, el peor de la saga souls
Rating: 7/10 — The Most Controversial and Polarizing Souls Game Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is a massive mixed bag. It is a game that you will simultaneously love and absolutely hate, making it the black sheep of the franchise. On one hand, it introduces some of the best mechanics in the series. The build variety is insane, Power Stancing (dual-wielding) is incredibly fun, and the world of Drangleic is beautifully atmospheric with amazing DLC areas. It feels massive, gives you tons of freedom, and has great replay value. On the other hand, it features some of the most frustrating design choices. Tying your invincibility frames (i-frames) during rolls to a specific stat (Adaptability/ADP) is a terrible mechanic. The Scholar of the First Sin edition is infamous for its artificial difficulty, often just throwing overwhelming gank squads of enemies at you instead of creating clever challenges.
