In anticipation for the Dark Souls 2 review scores let me give you a history lesson about the Dark Souls series. Demon Souls originally appeared as a Playstation 3 exclusive from Atlus and turned into a fan favorite due to it's addicting soul crushing (no pun intended) difficulty. However Atlus never releases games on the Xbox 360 and Demons Souls sold well but they could not make a sequel to Demons Souls due to Sony hating the franchise for the difficulty. So Namco picked up the developer of the game From Software to make a spiritual successor to the game and here we are today. Dark Souls 2.
Wow just Wow. Dark Souls 2 is currently the highest rated game of the year and has a higher score than Titanfall. It's crazy that Dark Souls 2 can shine while being on last-gen consoles but it's probably due to the refined additions to newcomers,the insanely challenging difficulty and the varied and cool enemy types. Not to mention theres also redefined multiplayer,and actual plot, and a creative and well-thought out art design. So it's not obvious why it has a 90 on Metacritic or why critics are even going so far to say its a game of the year contender, a game of the year or even one of the best games of all time. It's just all in the magic of Dark Souls I guess.
