After what feels like decades, the much anticipated sequel
to From Software’s Dark Souls is finally upon us. Dark Souls 2 throws us back
into the brutal action and unforgiving necessity for learning that made the
first game so successful. A few drawbacks pull this game away from perfection,
but these are minor, and can even be overcome. Dark Souls 2 is an addictive
experience that will make you struggle to pull yourself away from it for any
extended period of time.
