    One of the best Games known to mankind.
    From Software is a safe heaven for the Gaming community.
    Especially in times where big Developers dissapiont us with theyr fraudulent intent.

    Some of the most inventive use of Soulsian systems we've seen yet. [Dec 2014, p.91]

    The Crown of the Ivory King is a worthy finale for Dark Souls 2 and one of the most incredible challenges that a Dark Souls fan could hope for.

    Crown of the Ivory King is a melancholic victory lap in the only way a Dark Souls game can present a finale.
