Great on sale price for $20.00. If you are into Dark souls games, this looks great on the xbox one, especially for $20.

I hate this game. I have a test tomorrow and need to study but all I want to do is go collect souls to level up (while constantly dying). Speaking of which, the constant deaths, accompanied by the large YOU DIED banner across your screen, really makes you appreciate those few fleeting moments of life you have.
Yes, I would definitely recommend this game to a friend. If I don't have a life, why should they?

I really appreciate that it has all the dlc and everything in one purchase. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because the price should be a little lower than a full priced new game, since it has been released before. But it's absolutely the best version of this game out.
Wouldhave been nice to include an online version of the game guide as well. But still very glad I purchased this one.

My brother recommended this game. At first it was frustrating, I died a lot. Like enough to be demoralizing.
Also the direction of the game can be unclear. Like when you get to the starter town, there is nothing to tell you where to go next. This can be irritating for more casual gamers. But if you stick with it and learn the game it's a ton of fun and a challenge.

I bought this even though I already own the PS3 version. The XB1 version plays fine and looks good, although it cannot compare graphically with most next-gen games, most notably Bloodbourne, which looks much better. Its a great game, but if you already own the last-gen version, I would not recommend upgrading- I can't really tell much difference.

If you aren't familiar with these Dark Souls series, they are brutally difficult, however with this entry in the series newcomers will find a much easier, and gradual curve into darkness. In other words with the new 6-player online, practically any boss that poses a challenge can be mercilessly beaten in a gang fight.

Worth the upgrade from the xbox 360 version. New monster locations and item locations. Better frame rates and graphics. The down side is the game will crash constantly when online. There is an item degrade problem also. But the game is so fun you can overlook these problems.

It's a souls game, die die and die some more but the fun of it is getting through that tough part. Game won't be for everyone but if you like the old school games of the past that make you discover stuff on your own and is tough as nails then you will like this game.

Well worth the wait to get this on my favorite console. This game is fantastic. Sharp learning curve but once you get there you are there. A big improvement on the first game which is hard to say about most series of games. 10/10 would suffer through again

The twist and turns will keep you entertained for hours the game is just as challenging as the first.
Not a game for those who like to run through and get to the end quickly but if you like to plan and put strategies to use this game is for you.

This game is an amazing game if you're ready to fail repeatedly. If you know the Souls/Bloodborne game style then it's definitely worth it. I waited for the next gen release and I have to say this game looks great and plays very smoothly

So much better than it's predecessor. I thought at first it would be a waste of money to rebuy it but boy was I wrong. The graphics and gameplay are way better. If you were unsure about buying it then doubt no more. Totally worth it!

The title says it all. This game is for those that don't mind learning mechanics in order to progress. You will die several times, but one you accomplish a feat you feel good about what you have done. Not for the weak.

If you've played the first one, then you know what you're getting into. A difficult game, but satisfying if you can persevere. I would recommend this game to anyone that likes to play a challenging dungeon crawler game.
