I picked this up during a rough winter when I barely left my apartment, and it somehow fit that mood perfectly. The world felt colder and lonelier than what I remembered from the first one, in a way that matched where I was at. Does anyone else associate a Souls game with a specific season like that?

Curioso que el invierno le quede tan bien a este, a mí me pasó algo parecido con el primero.

Looking at the numbers, a 56% win rate over nearly 500 duels is solid, or actually more than solid for something ranked this low. It really shows how divisive it is among people who've played the whole series.

Ah oui, encore ce fameux "moins bon Dark Souls", quelle originalité.

Comparé à Arkham City qui repose sur des combos fluides, ici chaque coup demande de la réflexion, on ne peut pas juste enchaîner sans réfléchir. J'ai mis bien plus de temps à le finir que n'importe quel Metroidvania récent, et c'est pas un défaut pour moi.

y con mi hermano nos peleábamos por quién manejaba después de cada muerte, no por el timing perfecto sino porque ya estábamos hartos de perder el turno.

Con mi hermano nos turnábamos el mando cada vez que moríamos, así que jugamos los dos igual de mal.

Con mi hno igual, turnos de muerte en muerte jaja, aunque para mí sigue perdiendo feo contra Hollow Knight en diseño de mundo
