Surprising number of features and very enjoyable

Imrpoving on greatness.

There's a bit of a learning curve, even for people who played Xcom: Enemy Unknown. There are new enemies, weapon customization and a number of other features that give this game an added depth that is truly amazing. The overall experience is as challenging as it is rewarding.

This is how free-to-play should be done.

Everything is available for free, you can choose to pay for content or grind for it. Events and new content come out on a regular basis. There's enough diversity with weaponry and warframes to keep the game interesting.

This game is difficult, but that adds to the overall joy of the game. Defeating bosses is rewarding, traversing new areas brings on the challenge of facing new and varied enemies. The game contains numerous weapons, armors, spells, miracles and hexes allowing players freedom and individuality in their approach to character development. Each area is very distinct and some are considerably beautiful. Whereas the quick travel feature had to be earned in the original Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 allows players to quick travel from bonfire to bonfire from the start. This feature adds a degree of ease in an otherwise unforgiving game. The gameplay is responsive and flows well compared to the original Dark Souls. I would suggest playing with a controller, and in moments of considerable frustration there is always the change of summoning other players into your world. From my experience the majority of players who are willing to help are reliable and may even guide you to the secerts and well hidden items throughout the game that may go unfound or unnoticed by casual gamers.

I feel this game offers much to be enjoyed and many chances to test yourself.
