    Solid, if slightly unimpressive, sequel

    From Software's third installment in the Souls series is another superb game, but overall Dark Souls 2 did not impress me. I've played it three times, including NG+, but I can't say it's nearly as good as it's predecess... Read Full Review

    Every bit the masterpiece of the first for those with the patience

    From Software's Dark Souls was a game that taught players that there's a lesson behind every mistake, and that not everything worth knowing will be freely given. It challenged players to study their enemies, and to pay a... Read Full Review

    Mediocre sequel. Poor Combat System.

    First off, I played Demon Souls and Dark Souls for 3 years. I was addicted. With the sequel, this game has lost it's spirit. It tries to be moody and dark, and it succeeds there, but they forgot the game. The controls an... Read Full Review
