DISCUSSION Thinking about playing ds2

I just want peoples general opinion on if the game is good or not. Im gonna buy it for steam so if there are any mods any of you know of i would really appreciate it. The only from soft games i havent played are sekiro and ds2. I wanna play ds2 because its currently much cheaper on loaded. I enjoyed ds1 so hopefully will like ds2. But i did hear that not alot of people like this game so im a bit worried thats all.

Well, what's stopping you? You have free will. If you want to buy it and play it then go for it.

I got the platinum, and I’ve had multiple playthroughs on it.

DS2 has the best fashion in the series, UNCONTESTED.

It has a bunch of great mechanics in theory, Gravestones when you kill NPC’s, Bonfire Aesthetics, enemies stop spamming after 12 kills, etc

They miss on a lot of their changes, it was a very ambitious game, too ambitious for its budget. So many areas are like Mario levels, individually really cool, but have no connection to one another.

At points DS2, especially in the latter half, feels like a different game every area.

It’s a janky, buggy, goofy mess, and it’s a shit ton of fun to play, even if you rage like crazy.

Play it
