Critic Reviews for Dark Souls II
More accessible, challenging, and rewarding than its predecessor, this is the Dark Souls sequel PC gamers deserve.
A carefully considered sequel that avoids upsetting existing fans and offers an olive branch to newcomers – but although the PC version is the best it's by a slimmer margin than many would've hoped.
An epic adventure from start to finish packed with wondrous environments, imaginative and terrifying foes, and the continual adrenaline-apprehension rush of passing through each fog gate. These aspects make this title a must-play.
A stellar, challenging experience that borrows from its predecessors while making significant and complicated design changes.
A truly unique experience, but it's not for everybody. You have to be aware of the words you're gonna read more than any others on your screen: "You're Dead".

Dark Souls 2 is From Software's "something for everyone" version of the popular role playing series. Prepare to Die, a little less.
If you had issues with Dark Souls II on console then Dark Souls II PC will not fix them. If you were hoping that this would be the gorgeous next-gen Souls experience we were shown in that first video then, well, it isn't. But if you were holding out to find out just how the PC version of Dark Souls II performs then know, with full confidence, that it is far and away the superior version, and that's without the need to download any sort of fan-made patch. The cycle of death and success has never felt this good.
You'll keep coming back to "Dark Souls II," and should you triumph, your victory is one that will stay with you.
