I have hundreds of hours and many fond memories poured into it. So needless to say I was really anticipating this game, to the point of having it pre-ordered since January 2013. After playing a good 6 hours into the game I can say it was well worth the wait.Dark Souls 2 is a nice mix of both Demon's Souls and the first Dark Souls. The open world format, bonfires, and estes flasks make a return to this game from Dark Souls, while the healing options, leveling up and dying is a throw-back to Demon's Souls. Another thing that hasn't changed from either of the previous games is the brutal difficulty and I must say, this sequel takes that difficulty and runs full out with it.Yes, this game is HARD, but that is expected with any Souls game. DS2 has made things more difficult by lumping more enemies together. So instead of fighting 1 or 2 enemies at a time, you are typically fighting 3 or 4 enemies. This can make things really challenging. The game also hides enemy ambushes around every corner so you learn really quick to take corners carefully or with a shield thrown up for any surprise attacks. However, if you don't have any stamina to withstand an attack to your shield you are stunned for a few seconds, which can mean a quick death. The game also seems slower to react between attacking and then trying to roll away. My O button is taking a pounding with me trying to quickly get away from an incoming attack. One of the big changes from either of the previous games is enemies stop re-spawning after a time. This can make the game easier if you were having a hard time in an area previously, but can be annoying if you are wishing to farm an area.As I have been saying, DS2 is hard so you WILL die. When you die you become Hollow. The more times you die the lower your health goes down until it bottoms out at 50% of your health. This is like Demon's Souls, but instead of immediately loosing ½ your health this is a gradual process. Also similar to Demon's Souls is a ring that acts like the cling ring. This enables your health to bottom out at 75% instead of 50%. I suggest getting this ring ASAP or you will have a much harder time. When you are Hollow you have the ability to become human again which is done by consuming human effigies. This will make you human and restore you to full health, but be stingy with them as they are rare early in the game. You can also become human by being summoned as a white phantom. This seems very hit and miss. Sometimes you are restored to human on the first summon, other times it takes multiple times. It also doesn't seem to require the death of a boss to accomplish this. I don't know if this is a server issue or if there is some other factor that contributes to becoming human but right now it seems random. I hope this is something they fix.Summoning works very much the same as the previous games. You put down your sign and you are summoned. There are 2 different types of summoning soapstones. You have the regular White Soapstone and the Small White Soapstone. The SWS can only be used in certain areas and has a short time-limit on its use. I summoned someone with this and he lasted through 2 enemies before being returned back to his world. So I suggest just sticking with the regular WS. There is also a ring you can get that can make match-making with friends easier. I haven't tried this yet but one reason I loved Demon's Souls so much was being able to play with my sister. We were never able to play with each other in Dark Souls due to that games poor match-making so I am thrilled we will be able to play with each other again. I have not yet been invaded or invaded anyone myself so I cannot comment on that online aspect of the game.As for the world, it does keep the open world quality found in Dark Souls. You have a main village that acts as a central hub and from there you have paths that branch off, getting larger and larger. Within the village you have the Emerald Herald who is like DeS Maiden In Black. She is responsible for leveling you up and who upgrades your Estus flasks. Instead of starting with 5 Estus flasks like in DS you only start with 1. You can still upgrade how many uses you get by collecting estus shards that are found around the world. You can thankfully get 2 shards pretty early in the game. You can also upgrade how much HP it will regenerate. Along with the Estus flasks you also have lifegems that can be dropped by enemies and are also scattered around the world. They are a 1 time use which will gradually restore your health.Since the world is more open and doesn't interconnect as fluidly as Dark Souls, you are able to fast travel to any previous bonfire you have been to. This has been especially helpful since you can only level up through the Herald. Like in the previous game the bonfire will heal you, restore your estus flasks, give you access to an item box and restore the areas enemies.Despite how hard this game is and how many times you will die like a b*tch, this game is still a blast. It is brutal but when you get past that enemy or boss you were struggling on there is this intense satisfaction of `I did it!' I highly suggest this game to anyone who has played and liked any of the previous Souls games. It has taken some of the best from the previous games and put them together in this wonderful addition to the Soul's family. This game is definitely not for everyone, but if you have the patience and will, you will be rewarded with an amazing experience and a deep sense of satisfaction. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game-- play for days! *by on Reviewed in the United States October 29, 2015* This is not a game for the casual player. It requires a large time commitment and a determined attitude to complete what is renowned as a very difficult game to win. It requires considerable skill to succeed – skill that you will develop by practice and experience – so that when you succeed, it will be a cause of pleasure and pride – which in my opinion makes it a great game. If, on the other hand, you get frustrated by having to play the same scene over and over, then this is not for you.There are some barriers to enjoying the game that could lead the new player into giving up. I am assuming that the hard-core gamers bought this years ago and the current reader is a more casual player looking for a new game now that the price has come down. Plenty of other places describe the game so rather than repeat that - here are a few points from my own play of the off-line single player version that I hope will get you through the tough times at the start. It will be worth it.1: This is a complex game but comes with no instructions! The game makes extensive use of small icons that, without explanation, are frustrating and confusing. Search online (IGN is a good source) to get explanations of these and various player attributes and weapon/defense attributes. This will be important as you develop your player. Find the green herald at Majula for player upgrades and the all-important Estus flask - and the blacksmith for weapons upgrades after you get the door key in Forest of Fallen Giants. Look for non-combatants throughout the game and talk to them repeatedly as they often will have stuff to sell.2: The targeting system can be very annoying. It is difficult to strike opponents accurately without it but at times it can get you in trouble. An enemy coming at you may not be recognized as such until the last minute. Even worse – activating the targeting system too soon may lead to the player making an about-face and turning his back to the enemy! With multiple enemies you may find the one across the room selected while the enemy in front of you is ignored. This is especially important, since the player will turn his body toward the selected target that may again result in him facing away from the more immediate threat. Move into a new area very carefully so that only one enemy comes toward you – it makes it so much easier.3: Timing is everything. Your player will take a significant amount of time to complete a move. Different weapons have different times to complete a move. Learn to deal with this – it is a feature, not a defect! The same applies to enemies – exploit their moments of vulnerability when they make big swings or lunges.4: Huge enemies early in the game seem impossible to defeat – but don’t give up, there is a way. Almost all enemies have territorial boundaries. Back away (with enemy targeted so you are facing him as you go backwards) and eventually he will stop, turn around and go back to home base. That’s when to strike.5: Watch the green (strength) bar, not just the red (health) one. With strength depleted, you cannot attack or defend! Jumps, rolls, running, striking and being struck all diminish strength for a period. Back away when the green bar is low. If possible lower your shield while backing as strength recovery is much quicker that way.To wrap up. This is a very large game world with enormous numbers of possible ways to play, large numbers of characters, enemies, weapons systems, magic, monsters - everything. I recommend it highly to the motivated player and hope that my notes help you get beyond the initial feeling of confusion and being overwhelmed to really enjoying it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As Awesome and as Painful as the Original *by on Reviewed in the United States April 18, 2014* I remember the first time that I picked up a PS3 controller and tried out my roommate's new game, Demon Souls. For someone who attacks games with an obsessive compulsive disorder type mentality and who doesn't give up easily, it was a nightmare game. But ohhhh what a deliciously gorgeous nightmare it was. If you are a rage quitter, then this series of games: Demon Souls, Dark Souls, and Dark Souls II is really not for you. They are frustrating, but beautiful. Simple, but complex. It takes patience in order to make it through, even with frequent help from the Sun Bros. But be prepared to lose your humanity and souls over and over again.Dark Souls II is stunning. The story is just as driving as the story line for Demon Souls and Dark Souls; always revealing just enough to satiate curiosity but not enough to give away the ending. The play style is simple enough, but I will say that Demon Souls is the game that made me switch to being an inverted player. Seriously, I had played Xbox 360 for YEARS with the non-inverted controller settings, but along comes Demon Souls on the PS3 and for some reason the game controls were easy for me when inverted. Ever since then I can't play any game without the controller being inverted.My advice is as follows: Most of all, don't give up! It will be extremely frustrating at times, but all of us have been there! Use your Human Effigies sparingly in the beginning, but don't be afraid to summon help early on or even throw down your own soul sign in an area you just began so that you can be summoned to another world and find out what is ahead for you in your world. Find a free online guide to use and follow the advice it gives! Don't kill NPC's! If you do then next thing you know, you will be invaded all the time by red phantoms and trust me, they will ruin your day. Finally, those orange-ish/yellow-ish soul signs are for the Heirs of the Sun, and they are there to help people just like you! If all else fails, and you really need help, then add me on Xbox Live and shoot me a message. My gt is Fattyeggroll.Happy gaming!
