3/5 ★ – ElectricRodent's review of Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.

Could've been better with a few tweeks. I think this game could be great if they have removed the adaptability stat and made the end lag of attacks shorter. One other gripe is the artificial difficulty increase, which just makes you very annoyed and doesn't feel like you can counter it like in other souls games. The story, in dark souls fashion, is subtlety told with you to find it out by yourself and interpret it in your own way. It could've been on the same level of quality as 1 and 3 if it just had those 2 big gripes removed.
