The odd-one out in Dark Souls 2. Instead of getting blatted in the face with a rake every 5 feet, you're getting blatted in the face every 10 feet, but it hurts 3 times as much, and you get progressively more bonked on the head and lose HP until you're stuck at half and have to either resort to using a humanity or just figure out how to do it with half health. Good thing you can perma-kill all the rakes this time around.

It feels about 50% more and less "video-gamey" than the other games in the series. The maps are kind of wierd and enemies just sort of hang out on smoke breaks until you get there, but everything looks really good. Heck, I'd go so far as to say everything looks *better* than it does in DS1/3 in some places.

Overall, I'd say the quality of everything declines as you get further and further along. Things start to seem a little rushed in development - Iron Keep looks pretty copy/pasted compared to the Forest of Fallen Giants and Majula.

Also, the game is clearly a port, and suffers on mouse and keyboard. There's a double-click bug that remains from the early days, where you have to toggle the option on and off again in order to be able to attack more than once every 3 seconds, and everything else sort of feels laggy and delayed.

Regardless, it's still wonderous and depressing and glorious and despairing. Go have some fun and engage in jolly cooperation. I was given this game by my cousin-in-law, but I'd still go back and pay full price for it for all of the fun we had. Absolutely worth it, despite all of its faults.


"OUR SOULS ARE FREE!"
"Why are you being so dramatic?"
"I don't know. I just felt like that took a really long time."
"Yeah, I guess so."
"What do we do now?"
"...wanna play through again?"




*cheerful ukulele banter*

Ah, the nostalgia. The wonderful mix of Disney and Final Fantasy. The cringey dialogue, the awful voice acting....oh well.

It's still fun.

YOU HAVE DIED

Old school RPG. Very hard, not always intuitive, and the UI is a combination of beautiful and extremely tedious to use.

10/10, will fall out again.

There are three darks and three souls. Can you soul all the darks and dark all the souls?

Of course you can, just team up with a friend and spam soul spears.

10/10 game, 11/10 with friends.

Mmmmmmmmm.....Portals. Got it from a friend in 2011, and still holds up today.

Absolutely stupid and retarded.

10/10, would be stupid and retarded again.

I cannot recommend this game enough.

The story is good, but the characters are spectacular. Play just for them, if nothing else.

Also, apparently I'm reviewing only Episode 1, even though I've played all five episodes. BUY IT

My favorite "game" to date. The only true "sandbox". There's something for everyone here, whether it's building boats, fighting NPCs, making bridges between skyscrapers, going to space...

The only downside for new players is figuring out how the crap to do anything. Most people I know who don't like this game spawned a few barrels and got bored. Check out the FacePunch forums and the workshop (which didn't exist when I first started playing), and read everything you can.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Wiremod and Spacebuild, though Spacebuild hasn't been updated in years.

Stupid, stupid, stupid fun. I can't think of any other way to describe it. Grab a few friends and go kill everything ever.
