    Was ein geiles Rollenspiel! Extrem spannende Welt, teilweise echt geile Bosse und ein mega Kampfsystem. Außerdem gibt es viele kleine Verbesserungen im Vergleich zu DS1, Inventar usw.

    I am going to be blunt, this game is pure garbage. DS2 is like the result of a torn condom.... a mistake.

    I played the first 3 hours of DS2 Scholar of the First Sin and I still don't know what the hell is going on. It sat me through two 10 minute cut-scenes at the start of the game, and after wasting those 20 mins, I still had no idea what the purpose of the game was.

    I played the first 3 hours of DS2 Scholar of the First Sin and I still don't know what the hell is going on. It sat me through two 10 minute cut-scenes at the start of the game, and after wasting those 20 mins, I still had no idea what the purpose of the game was.

    I've beaten Bloodborne, DS3 and Sekiro, and I can say that, at least, after DS2, From Soft realised the massive screw up they did.

    Now lets list all the game play problems:
    1. The dodge mechanic is pure garbage. So let me help people who have never played a souls game understand this properly. THE MAIN MECHANIC OF THE GAME DOESN'T EVEN WORK PROPERLY!
    2. When you parry certain bosses/enemies (eg. Dragon Rider Boss), you won't even be able to repose them.
    3. I can chug down a 2 litre bottle of water faster than my character can drink his estus.
    4. The game only gives you one estus at the start, and instead provides a few life gems, which are not replenishment when resting at a bonfire. This is a very sad excuse for healing. This is pathetic.
    5. The hit boxes are more broken than your sanity after playing this game. While playing the game, you will take more damage from the air around the enemies weapon, rather than their actual weapons.
    6. THE LEVELS ARE EXTREMELY LINEAR FOR A GAME THAT IS MEAN TO BE SEMI-OPEN WORLD!
    7. YOUR MAX HEALTH LEVEL GOES DOWN EVERY TIME YOU DIE! This is not a way of making a game hard or more challenging. Its like saying, to make Soul of Cinder in DS3 harder you have half you MAX HP whilst fighting him.
    8. Compared to other games made in the same time span the graphics are ass. So you can't even say that even though the game is pure **** at least the graphics are nice.
    9. The platforming is pure ass.

    Story/Lore Problems:
    1. The main area of the game: Majula has no lore to it. When compared to other souls games, such as the Hunter's Dream in Bloodbrone, or Firelink Shrine in DS3, this is very disappointing and pathetic.
    2. Half the characters in he game are just there to be there. They would have very little contribution to the lore. (eg. The fat blacksmith that somehow got himself locked out of his own shop!)
    3. The bosses are all half-assed. Certain bosses (such as the Pursuer) have the same exact model and move set as a regular enemy, however they just have a boss bar.
    4. All areas and bosses in the game are very easily forgettable. There are very little memorable fights. I had to ask a friend and search up on the wiki for the names of the areas and bosses to even be able to write this review.

    I can continue writing about how bad and broken this game is forever. However, I'll sum up here, as I think I've mentioned the main problems with it (even though there are so many more minor ones). I have just one suggestion for you: DON'T BUY THIS GAME! Get DS3 or DS1 instead!

    Rating: 1.75/10 - the only reason why it gets any points is because the water texture was somewhat decent! It was the only part of the game I enjoyed!    … Expand

It also has some of the best settings (skyboxes) and bosses (in general the community complains that they are mostly knights, but then will rate knights as the best bosses in the series anyway).
    Playing with a controller is recommended, if not necessary. Combat feels better that Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, but worse than Bloodborne or Dark Souls 3.
    None of these games have much of a story (they are however great at worldbuilding), but at least this one has an engaging intro and first impressions seem to have mattered for me.
    Changing enemy and item placements feels unnecessary and cheap (it is marketed as a new version of the game) though.    … Expand

    My initial score for DS2 would be about 4.5. Now because of the cashgrab and poor upgrade from the original, I score SotFS as 4.

    I played DS1 much after release and it blew my mind. I had bought the original DS2 afterwards and found the control absolutely untenable for PC so I didn't played. I decided to come back to it after DS3 because below the surface it seems that a lot of people were praising the game. I fixed my control and decided to finish the game: this is my critic. For the record, I'm not playing any PVP (only if I'm invaded), and no mods. I spoke with all NPCs I could meet, did all quests I could find, and explored every area I found (except for some subareas which I deemed worthless and the DLCs) while not using a wiki, except for 1-2 very minor thing (like being stuck in the middle of nowhere in order to check what the Blacksmith is selling back in Majula, etc.). The only "help" I really got is that there is a fire Longsword somewhere and I went to find it, and how to get the Chloranty Ring (which to be honest, was where I already was at anyway). I didn't really do the DLC(s) because at that point I had no fun.

    Also, I realized after writing this that two Youtubers made much better criticism than me regarding this. I therefore suggest looking at MauLer (very long) series on it, and also Matthewmatosis video on the subject.

    SUMMARY:
    Control, animation & movement: D (Horrible in general, my worst criticism)
    Level Design: B- (Some awesome areas (most of the end game, Cardinal Tower for early games), some insanely bad areas (all the others?), some filler areas and futile encounters cannot make this higher)
    Art Design: B+ (Solid music, visual concept, atmosphere, etc. Story a bit too cryptic even for a Souls game and graphics are vastly outdated)
    Gameplay: C- (Good core concept, i.e. Dark Souls, plagued by horrible decisions and unnecessary changes)

    Overall: C- or 4/10 (Not recommended, but with a solid remaster that fixes some metrics, animation, controls, etc. it could rise up to a B or 6/10 and would be recommended). I cannot understand objectively how this has such a high score. However, I can understand why some people like the game, and the game is not complete garbage.

    CONTROL, ANIMATION & MOVEMENT
    - Terrible computer controls, known issues, known delay
    - Weird movement and responsiveness
    - Attacked while in animation such as opening doors/chests, entering mists, performing criticals. For me this remove the control from the player and punish him.
    - Bugged catch-roll and hitbox all around (e.g. being hit while in the back of an enemy)
    - Weird weapon movement and "weight"

    LEVEL DESIGN
    + Amazing environment design and level architecture. The implementation and the encounter design does not render justice to it
    - Terrible exploration design with too many gotchas (ambush), dead-ends, useless items, difficult and boring (generally either copy-pasted or because they are monster spam) encounters, etc. that steal the fun out of exploring
    - Long sequence of bad bonfire placement. Sometimes you have two bonfire (almost) within view distance, at other time you have 25+ monsters, buildings, loops, etc. to cross to get to another one (e.g. Wharf). Generally this create more of the previous point.
    - Petrified statue blocking your way. Easy to get past them, but rarely was a positive gamechanger. It just, again, stopped exploration.

    GAMEPLAY
    + Stats are more useful (although I don't like the change to dodge and a stat related to it), more builds
    + I read that NG+ is adding and changing content. I think this is clerver to give more content for the players who manage it.
    - Boss and monster design is horrible and boring for multiple reasons. It is plagued with "big guy in armor", copy-paste, "difficult encounter" consisting mostly of many monsters at the same time (including bosses) which the control and lock-on (i.e. base Dark Souls mechanic) all doesn't support well
    - Bunch of changes that, to me, are not good (just as useless armor, invasion while hollowed, dodge frame changes, parry changes, etc.) and sometimes frustrating
    - Everything feels slow and sluggish

    ART DESIGN
    + Good music, okay sound (but in combat it's not good, it feels like hitting a sack of potato)
    + Amazing atmosphere and environment (the seacoast theme was good)
    - Even at release, graphics were outdated
    - Didn't understand most of the story even if I tried (without wiki, that is), and it's all around not engaging, especially the stream of 3 last bosses that are all "literally whos". The world building in general is weird and the level design makes no sense.    … Expand

    By far the worst Dark Souls but still one of the best games ever.

    [Multiple enemies]
    The devs realized how hard it is to create a good hard boss.
    Miyazaki wasnt there so they made a boss themself.
    Devs fought the boss and thought "this is too easy lets just put him 3x into the room and lets design the next boss"
    I mean this aint a game which is meant for fighting a high amount of enemies.
    Fighting multiple enemies is just a bit luck and praying you land a good hit.
    As a mage this is maybe less of a problem but most people play with close range weapons.

    [Boss?]
    And here you can see why this "Multiple boss" exist.
    I swear I killed almost every 1 vs 1 boss first time.
    They behave like normal enemies
    They just do their combo, you dodge and hit him 1-2x.

    [Dark Souls Boss]
    And the actually good bosses.
    Tbh the best one was Fume Knight.
    Bonfire was directly next to him for a good reason.
    He was fast, he had a lot of combos, he had a second phase and forced me to upgrade my weapon.
    His gift to me was his Ultragreatsword which I wanted.
    Basically everything was perfect about him but I found out he is DLC.
    And im 100% sure Miyazaki saw some of the RELATIVE bad reviews on Dark Souls II and worked on the DLCs because he agreed.

    But dont get me wrong this is still a insane game which even has some things which are even better than DS1 and DS3.
    For example Backstab animation and Build variety.
    But the Bosses and some gameplay changes are just weird ways to make something harder.    … Expand

    Unlike the rest of the souls games, this game is just plain frustrating. Most of the bosses are low quality, but I do think there are a few good ones. Also the areas are just littered with enemies just to gank you. It can be fun, but it's definitely my least favorite game in the series.

Elden Rİng'te de böye hibrit, kara büyü atan bir karakterim vardı ama orada daha çok büyü kullanıyordum. Bunda stamina falan da kastığım için ağır zırhlı oynayabildim ve yakın dövüşe daha rahat girdim.

    Dark Souls Remastered ve Dark Souls 3 ile kıyaslayacağım. Core mekanikler aynı zaten, farklılıklara değinmek lazım. İlk farklılık ilk oyundan sonra artık bir üssümüz var. Bazı satıcılar başka yerlerde olsa da genelde bir yerde toplanmış durumda. Oyunun lineer ilerlememesi yine ilk oyundaki gibi. Sürekli geri gitmek, doğru zamanda doğru şeyi yapmak gerekiyor. İlk iki oyunu rehbersiz bitirmek imkansız.

    Alanların ve mekanların çeşitliliği ilk oyundaki kadar olmasa da başarılı. Bölgeler bazen zorlayıcı olabiliyor. Bu durumda bazı bonfire'ların gizli duvarların arkasına koyulmuş olması saçma durmuş.

    Atmosferi Bloodborne ya da Dark Souls 3 kadar kuvvetli değil. Bunda görsel kalitenin biraz kötü olması etkili tabii. Yoksa çizimler, konseptler yine şahane.

    Düşman çeşitliliği yine epey üst seviyede. Boss çeşitliliği de iyi ama dönemin teknik imkanları nedeniyle olsa gerek, hareketleri o kadar çeşitli ve akıcı değil. İlk oyuna göre daha iyi, üçüncüden kötü. Ayrıca çok zor bir boss da yok. Akılda kalıcı değiller.

    Neticede 57 saat süren macera, yine ağzımda hoş bir tat bıraktı. Şimdiye kadar oynadığım From Software oyunları arasında bir tık zayıf kalsa da 2023 yılında bile iş görüyor.    … Expand

    In my opinion, the best of dark souls mechanics. DS3 and anything in the future could be better with power stancing and hexes being its own class of spells. While DS3 is obviously a much more beautiful and dark game, DS2 is definitely good in its own right. Don't let the complainers turn you away.

    Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin offers only minor tweaks to serious gameplay issues of the original game. Nonetheless, it still remains a wholly enjoyable online experience, just don't expect much from the singleplayer experience.

    It’s a freaking masterpiece! Do yourself a favor and experience it if you haven’t done it yet. [06/2015, p.68]

    A pleasant combination of revised version of Dark Souls II with excellent DLCs offers a brutal difficulty and a fantastic atmosphere - even more intense than ever. Although the Scholar of the First Sin is not a purchase for everyone, if you try you will not be disappointed.
