Dimitri Gedevanishvili, GIZORAMA - "The Souls series of games, known for their family-friendly themes and kid-approved gameplay elements, released its third entry in March of this year to critical acclaim. Read on to learn why Dark Souls II should be the next game you buy your child.
The long-awaited follow up to 2011’s Dark Souls, which followed protagonist Ronald Souls as he fought dastardly “Dark” members of his family, promises to improve on all of the best gameplay elements of the first game and more. Ronald’s golden unicorn won’t be making another appearance, however, as it too perished with Ronald at the end of the first game. I personally remember sitting with my younger cousin as he finished the short five hour campaign. The look on his face when his favorite protagonist was betrayed by his own father was heart wrenching."
Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.
DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.
The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.
I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.
And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.
I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

The Nerd Stash: “Whether you’re here to gloat about your victories or to see what the fuss is about, we present to you the hardest bosses in the Souls series.”
I beat them all with my fists and no hits were taken. What do you mean you don't believe me? I used a guitar hero controller!!!
All the bosses are only from Dark Souls. No Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, or Demon Souls
It will give them a life lesson if how to be patient and when you try you succeed
All that talk about not letting kids play games that is not for their age yet these guys ask us to do just that.
Late april fools?
