Really good for my first souls game, it runs surprisingly well on my laptop despite having a really bad specs. I've seen people a lot of people criticized Dark Souls 2, i know most of them didn't even play the game and just went along. When i play it myself, it's not as bad as people said. I had a lot of fun playing this game. It has a lot of build variety because it's easy to be overpowered in this game and it has some unique stuff that other souls game didn't have. Of course, some of the enemy placements are horrible, adaptability stat is trash and some of the bosses are disappointing, but I still did not regret having this game as my first souls game.
