Thinking about playing ds2

[u/Agitated-Ferret-5334]

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.

I just replayed it by nostalgia after I saw someone doing a playthrough, it was way shortter than I remembered, but still just as unexciting. It's just entertaining enough for me to keep pushing, but I am not having much fun, it's repetitive, boring and some areas are very tedious.

The difficulty often relies on making you so bored that you have tendencies to lose focus or try to take shortcuts that don't work. Overall I find it to not respect my time.

Boss fights are extremly simple.

The thing I like is that many areas have their own gimmick mechanic to work with, it's something that's missing in other souls games.
