Dark Souls II - Journal of Death @ IGN

IGN played five hours of Dark Souls II, and decided to write about it in a new article. So it goes without saying beware of spoilers. Now read on if you dare.

My extensive time with Dark Souls II taught me that this entry carries the series’ torch of throwing players into gameplay rapids rolling with crushing defeats, great triumphs, and plenty of unexpected twists. I walked away feeling like I played more of the first game. From Software and new director Yui Tanimura are clearly trying to replicate the experience that came before, and I think that’s a great decision.
