Twinfinite writes, "From Software's upcoming Dark Souls II has been given its age rating by the ESRB, and it's frankly a little surprising. While it's been granted a 'T for Teen' rating, the description doesn't sound too far off what one would expect from this game or series."
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.
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.

Pre order cancelled
Dont really matter I dont really think of either Demon Souls or Dark Souls as a mature game. Maybe this one dont have boobs like Dark Souls. I will miss you giant lady in Anor Londo
There better still be spider bewbies or something!
Only dudebros would be bothered by this. As long as it's an amazing game, then I could hardly care about the age rating.
It just shows that the ESRB rating is random. How can you compare GTA V's M rating to Dark Souls'. Can't remember nudity, sex or swearing in Dark Souls.
