    Dark Souls is back, and pretty much as good as the first.

    Dark Souls II is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated games of the year. The first Souls games, Demon Souls and the follow up, Dark Souls, are easily some of the most well received, well reviewed and most challenging... Read Full Review

    Dark Souls II Review

    The Souls games have always centered around mystery. You might get a little background information at the beginning of your quest, but this proves to be miniscule in the grand scale of the lore. You may eventually piece ... Read Full Review

    Dark Souls 2

    I think that by this point, the game has been out long enough for some comparisons with earlier titles in the series to be made. Given that it's been out for about 2 weeks, I think we can begin to assess the game and cr... Read Full Review

    Dark Souls ll and all the SOULS games are the best action/rpgs I've ever played..

    Dark Souls ll is one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life. I love the fact that you start off as a weak, pathetic character who has basically nothing and is thrown in a world you know little about. How ... Read Full Review

    Challenging and beautiful. Death is not a gimmick!

    First, it is important to establish the fact that this game is not all about 'dying over and over' as these daft reviewers seem to keep emphasising. This is NOT the case. Yes you WILL die, but not constantly, and not all... Read Full Review

    Best game ever.

    There is a balance between light and shade in this world, and videogames were being invaded by idiotic games with no plot, no charm, no class, no fury. Then came Demon Souls, to reflame the torch that Diablo II had dropp... Read Full Review

    The third game of the venerable Souls series has come to claim its fair share of death, suffering, triumph and joy.

    How do you make a follow up to one of the most challenging yet rewarding of games that come every once in a while? Do you try to make changes or do you keep things as it is? Dark Souls 2 manages to stay true to its trie... Read Full Review

    Didnt live up to my expectations :(

    I absolutely loved DS1, but DS2 killed it for me, the loss of maximum health when undead is what did it for me, this mechanic takes the whole " you died you better go back and try again" out of the game and basically wan... Read Full Review

    Great game. Better than the first.

    The world is beautiful. The enemies are challenging. That sense of forevoding is present with every step. I am really enjoying this game. There are only two problems that I see. 1) the framerate is still pretty weak... Read Full Review
