When i started playing Dark Souls 2, the first thing i noticed / felt about the game was the similarities of concepts from Demon Souls and Dark Souls. Not sure if they've run out of game concepts.

1. Like the Emerald Herald from Maiden in Black. 2. The use of Life Gems which is the same as the Half Moon Grass. 3. Bosses like the Pursuer, Dragon Rider, Velstadt where like a mix of the Tower Knight, Penetrator, Garl Vinland 4. Bosses like The Rotten where more like a combination of the Leechmonger and the Dirty Collosus etc.

As for the game difficulty, the first playthrough is easy with all the summons available. Just have to work your way up to NG+ and beyond or increase the bonfire intensity to find more challenge. Again these are just my feedback on DS2.
