User blog comment:Pseudobread/Dark Souls 2 Review Roundup/@comment-5058298-20140312020716

I've been a die hard fan of the Souls games. I even played King's Field on my father's PS1 when I was a wee child. But I'm kinda let down.

I guess it may be just a little bit too "recycled". Not only that, but areas don't have as many loopholes, or shortcuts, and the like. The atmosphere is great though - not incredibly varying like DS1's, but still great.

The storyline isn't as deep as DS1's, from what I've encountered so far. I was kinda let down with how little I found out from item descriptions and such. But maybe I've only scratched the surface.

Gameplay is the #1 part. No complaints. New weapons are awesome. I've gone full Darth Maul mode
