    This is one of those games that will have you punching your walls but you will keep playing because it's a really good game. It is a very hard game, like very, very , very hard but fun. I have no idea what the story is about in this game but that doesn't really matter. You dont play this game for the story, you play it to beat it and wear that fact like a badge of honor. You will most likely need some kind of walkthrough and there are a bunch of those online. If you dont like hard games or games where you will most likely die at least 100 times, then get something else.

    This game plays similar to the other souls game and is definitely worth picking up. $20 for the game and all of the DLC is a deal you just can't beat.

    This game is not for the casual gamer and can be an extreme challenge at times but it is also very rewarding once you learn its systems

    Purchased the game and attempted to play through it. I couldn't enjoy it -not because it was a bad game. It's just not my type of game.

    Many improvements over DS2. Multiplayer is much better. Also, the life bar reductions are gone as well.

    This Xbox One Port is a great way to experience the thrill of being decimated in video game combat over and over again. Fans of the series know how difficult they are. So for those not faint of heart (or patience), this version brings together all of the Dark Souls 2 game and DLC (on a disc with no codes).

    Brutal in difficulty. For the hard core only. I'd give it a lower rating. But it's unfair. Just not for me

    There is really no downside to this if you are to the series. 1000 more achievements, upgraded graphics and new enemy placement. Dark souls 2.5!
