“It’s almost whimsical to begin with…”
Welcome back toSouls Week!
Today, Caelyn’s going to make the case forDark Souls 2, in a piece thatcontains spoilers.
It took me a while to get into Dark Souls.
But I bounced off it a couple of times before being properly ensnared.
According to The Internet, Dark Souls 2 is rubbish.
You may be surprised to learn that The Internet is, just for once, spouting hyperbolic nonsense.
I’ve got to hold my hands up and admit that I was suckered in for a while.
you’re free to wring a lot of quality gaming time out of the original Dark Souls.
I mean, why not just play the original some more.
In many ways, Dark Souls 2 has exactly what you’d expect from a sequel.
It takes the systems from the original and builds on them in new and interesting ways.
This distinction is immediately noticeable and permeates the entire game, making it something of a middle-of-trilogy oddity.
The big, flashy addition is dual-wielding, which is an entirely new combat option.
Thankfully, this last set of items was retained for Dark Souls 3.
