Dark souls 2 was released in PAL region on the 14th march 2014. Made by “From Software” and published by “From Software” and “Namco Bandai Games”. The long waited sequel has hit shelves with focus selling 1.2 million copies on release. Keeping to it same genre “action roleplaying” the game includes features such as single player and online multiplayer which combine together to create a game which can change to a multiplayer at any time.

Since the success of dark souls “From Software” have been working to create their worst nightmares into dark souls 2. Harder bosses, more choses, PVP and ever thing to threaten the player to insure that once he/she has conceded that area he/she can feel rewarded.

New features include new bosses, weapons, spells, item, armour and rings. This is so the customisation options are endless, for example duel wield great swords and enchant them with powerful spells or using nothing but your fist to KO all that stand in your path.

They have also made the start of the game more friendly to newcomer of the game because “SPOILER” in dark souls begging you were put right into a boss fight with that many clear intrusions but in this game there is a full tutorials area which is completely optional so that the player that need to learn the game more can.

I have complete both dark souls 1 and 2 and both have their ups and downs, but the one I most enjoyed was dark souls 2. This is because in dark souls, once you completed the game once it was quite dull going thought it again with the same set because that was the point I focused in meaning I can’t change to any class because I don’t have the requirements, but in dark souls 2 you can find “soul vessels” which if given to a satin person they will reset your points (not level) meaning I could play a fighter in one play though and then a mage in the other.

Now onto the bad points about dark souls 2. First the severs are not the best at the moment meaning that the hit boxes in PVP can sometime be incorrect and mess you up. Also some bosses where copied over in late game in PVE and for me a boss should be a unique encounter which only happens once.

To sum up I think dark souls 2 is a great game to pick up and I would recommend this game to hard-core gamers and medieval fans or player who enjoy challenges with up to 2 friends.

Rating 4/5
-1 point because of the sever lag and the copying of bosses
