It's just not quite as well put together as some of the other games in the Soulsborne catalogue. Main issue for me personally is it doesn't have that many "wow" boss moments, they seems like mini-bosses and are often quite samey, but it's still a lot of fun
Are you playing the original release or the "Scholar of the First Sin" version? The latter tweaked a few things (particularly around mobs I believe) which smoothed off some of the rough edges.
I’m playing the First Sin one, I think that’s the one where they made the mobs worse, isn’t it?
Yeah, I think they went for quantity rather than quality when it came to the bosses in ds2. In the original it felt like a real event when you came to a boss, whereas here it’s much more common place.
I really enjoy some of the different settings in ds2. It feels much more like an epic journey. Whereas the original felt more contained.
