This game is at the very top of my favourite games. The lore is just amazing and it's way longer than the other two chapters. There are more ares and bosses, a total of 31. The problem is that you often really don't know where you have to go and you might end up going around for hours just to find the correct way. Most of the bosses are pretty hard and you have to lear their patterns.

It's way different from Dark Souls 1 and 3, not just because of the lore, which is different from the other two, but because of the hitbox. Although the hitbox registration is often wrong and not only bosses but every enemy can hit you even though you rolled. Using estus or spells literally block you and you must wait until the animation finishes. The roll is a bit slow, too.

Buy this game if you really want to finish the dark souls series, but my advice is that you must buy this game for last, because a new player to the dark souls series would freak out. Learn to play the souls series and finish you experience with this chapter.

If you are a fan of the souls series, buy it.
