Critic Reviews for Dark Souls II: Crown of the Sunken King
The first part of Dark Souls 2's DLC trilogy is as tense, challenging, and rewarding as anything in the series.
A whole new challenge for diehards, and a lot of content for your money.
If you enjoyed Dark Souls II, it's hard to pass this addition up.
Aside from a few frustrations, Crown of the Sunken King is Dark Souls at its best
Don't expect Dark Souls II: Crown of the Sunken King to match up to Artorias of the Abyss, but it still offers a surprisingly deep and gratifying experience. While the boss selection is somewhat disappointing and context to why we're in the ancient land of Shulva seems to be missing, the inhabitants and hidden story behind Sinh and Yorgh will keep fans occupied until the rest of the Lost Crowns Trilogy is released.
A competent but unsurprising slice of downloadable content that features a solid challenge and plenty of content, but too little in the way of new ideas.
From Software looks to the original Dark Souls for inspiration in the first of three announced expansions to Dark Souls II.
If The Crown of the Sunken King is any indication of what we can expect from the next two pieces of Dark Souls II DLC, then fans are in for a real treat.
