"Yes, Dark Souls 2 is a rather good
game, in its own right, but less so when
viewed upon as a sequel to Dark Souls
and Demon's Souls. It never really has
that same feeling of dread and despair.
The consistency of bonfires and the
repairable Life Protection rings takes
away the fear of dying. And Soul Memory
and the lack of a whole Red Eye Orb
constantly gets in the way of my fun.
I do enjoy Dark Souls 2, but I still hold
Dark Souls 1 closer to my heart."











"...what heart?"
"Hush. That was just
a manner of speech."
