Definitely enjoyed DS1 more, but still had fun with this. Definitely a lot more bosses, and some were good. Fuck the Bell Gargoyles . One mechanic I really didn't like was the fact that your max HP dropped every time you died. Usually I didn't mind dying as much, even if I lost my souls, because then I could learn from each death and try different things. I feel with this mechanic, that was harder to accomplish, especially when we start talking about the DLCs....
Dark Souls 2: Crown of the Sunken King DLC
I know it's not technically its own game, but I'm gonna treat them as such just to talk about them.
Shulva was a cool place to navigate, though was ambushed by those knights a bunch of times. The mad dash around the Dragon Sanctum while those ghost warriors chased me to find their physical bodies was pretty exhilarating. The 3-on-1 boss fight was fairly annoying, mainly because of the run to get to them (stupid petrify statues...). Elana was brutal, as every time I turned to deal with the skeletons, I got murdered by those dark magic balls. Sinh was definitely the best boss fight of this DLC. Took a few tries, but got it figured out.
Will be updating this/making a new post with the second DLC once I finish it, still have a couple bosses to beat there. Though as an aside, I did indeed beat Fume Knight after like, literally 40 tries.
Dark Souls 2: Crown of the Old Iron King DLC
This was definitely more difficult than the last DLC. Having to deal with all those damn idols was annoying, as were those giant metal warriors that spewed lava. Very large area, but was pretty cool to explore.
Regarding bosses, this DLC had two of the best in the game, easily. Fume Knight and Sir Alonne were both awesome fights, even if the Fume Knight battle took me 30-40 tries (that long sword sweep was devastating). The run up to Sir Alonne was awful though. As was the run to Smelter Demon 2.0, since I had so many issues with the first one, way back.
One more DLC to go, then likely onto either Dark Souls 3 or Sekiro.
