Release Date: March 11, 2014
A sequel to the hit action RPG Dark Souls, a game famous due to its very high difficulty level. Dark Souls II was developed by the Japanese studio From Software in collaboration with Namco Bandai. The player controls a character traversing a dark fantasy world in search of a way to free himself from a curse. The story is shown not chronologically, in a fragmented way and explanations are often hidden in dialogues and item descriptions.
Dark Souls II for PC, X360 and PS3 is a sequel to the award-winning action RPG game from 2011. It was produced by From Software which is the same studio that created the first game. This Japanese developer works in the industry since the 80s of the 20th century and to date has released such series as King's Field, Armored Core, Otogi, and Tenchu.
The game once again takes the players to the grim fantasy world known from the original game. The action takes place in the land known as Lordran. This time, however, the players visit different areas and do it with a new character. The story of this daredevil and of the universe itself is served in the typical, not chronological, and shredded way. Only those who can find all the clues hidden in dialogues and even descriptions of objects, and then piece them together.
Dark Souls II for PC, X360 and PS3 is a continuation of the ideas of the original. In the game, the players travel a maze of interconnected locations in search of a remedy for the curse which plagues the protagonist. The most important aspects of gameplay are exploration, combat, and character development. Each fight, even with an ordinary enemy, is a considerable challenge, and sometimes requires several attempts. Repetition and learning the game is a part of the gameplay, too.
With the progress made by the player, the protagonist acquires experience that makes him more and more powerful. The players have complete freedom in shaping the character development and can customize its stats. The choice of weapons is also of great importance as almost every one has a completely different form of attack. There is also magic in the game: pyromancy, miracles, and other forms of spellcasting.
The multiplayer mode undergone significant improvements compared to the first game. Now the system is server-structured which improved the quality of the game and allowed expanding it with a few additional features. A crucial part of the online mode is writing and reading hints left behind by other players in the game world. The changes were also made in the game’s graphics, as Dark Souls II for PC, X360 and PS3 uses a new, much better engine.

The third of the planned DLC additions to the second installment of the bestselling action RPG, created by the Japanese studio From Software. Along with the previous two it combines into a completely new storyline, the axis of which is the search for three legendary crowns. This time we will deal with getting the last of them, and the action will take us to a previously inaccessible, ancient temple. It was built in a cold, ice-covered land and designed to overwhelm with its size and the emptiness inside.

Game Ratings for Dark Souls II Video Game.
God is a Geek: 10 / 10 by James Bowden
If you had issues with Dark Souls II on console then Dark Souls II PC will not fix them. If you were hoping that this would be the gorgeous next-gen Souls experience we were shown in that first video then, well, it isn't. But if you were holding out to find out just how the PC version of Dark Souls II performs then know, with full confidence, that it is far and away the superior version, and that's without the need to download any sort of fan-made patch. The cycle of death and success has never felt this good.
Hardcore Gamer: 4.5 / 5 by Adam Beck
If you decided to wait for the PC version of Dark Souls II before jumping in, you've made the right decision. It's not leaps and bounds better than its console counterpart, but the graphical enhancements aid the immersion.
Game Rant: 4.5 / 5 by Ryan Blanchard
While the difficulty may serve to push some gamers away, Dark Souls 2 manages to be both the most accessible title in the series and a formidable challenge for returning veterans and is without a doubt an experience that should not be missed despite the allure of next-generation consoles.
