This April coming from Sekiro I wanted more, and with Dark Souls 2 SotfS on sale it only made sense to give it another try. It'd been a long time since the last time I'd played it (on release), and maybe with the upgraded visuals, 60FPS and quality of life changes the experience will be more enjoyable.
It was not. I had some very positive impressions at the beginning, the game looks and runs great, Majula is still a great hub and while a lot of the aesthetics still feel like someone ripping off the original Dark Souls, but the game starts falling apart right after that.
The bosses are still a disaster. They're either a complete joke or fucking bullshit with all the tracking, the weapons break in like half a second, having a death penalty is fucking dumb, the voice acting is all over the place, the character design is ridiculous...
I don't think it's a bad game, but man it's hard to like. At least Majula still has great music
