On the well-worn path made smooth by the mainstream, the human species plods mindlessly, pursuing happiness. Except, that is, for a certain few — the divergent, the complex, the Dark Souls.

There is a place where suffering, misery and challenge reign, where only the iron-willed and the cunning survive. You made the journey once before. Now, descend once again into the depths of devastation in Dark Souls II.The horrific saga marches forward, forging a new, warped path in the action RPG Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.

An increase in the number of maximum online players makes it simple to compete against your friends. Look deep within yourself — do you have the courage to stare death in the eye?
Demon Souls and Dark Souls I are still the best in the series. While the game has everything you think it would, it just felt way too simple. Either I am amazing at these games now, or they dumbed down the AI for newcomers. Still worth picking up if you missed this game on the previous consoles.

As a huge Demon Souls fan, and a somewhat Dark Souls fan, I rate this game 4/5 stars because the game is fairly easy. The difficulty of the game is nothing compared to Demon Souls. The positive side is that the game is enjoyable, and co-op glyph dungeons are really fun. Should you want to co-op, make sure the helper player uses the help bell and the host then uses the call bell 10 seconds later.
If you are a fan of the genre, it's worth a play through, but again, way too easy. Made for newcomers and probably a more casual gamer.

If you really enjoy pressing buttons, then this is your game. The button pressing has been at an all time low lately, but this game really brings back the buttons. I like buttons, but my hunger for more buttons is the reason I gave this 4 out of 5 stars.
