Dark Souls 2 is absolutely dreadful
From the article, "It was full of bland locations that weren’t interesting at all to look at. Most gave off an aura of incompletion, backgrounds especially were absolutely bare. Most areas didn’t even make sense in proportion to the world. The original Dark Souls created a wonderful world that was incredibly connected. Sure some of it was ugly and bland but the fact that it was all perfectly connected and had such incredible lore made up for that. The world always felt consistent. In DS2, however, you go from a poisoned farm to a lava-soaked castle… Via a very long upwards elevator… That goes into the sky."
