The controls? Well they are pretty bad, but spend 5 minutes toying around with them and you can make it almost entirely like Dark Souls 1 controls on PC (Which I am used to and prefer, even over a controller). Had high expectations and this game met them. It is an excellent game! … Expandīought this game for $40 from GMG, have to say, highly impressed. They are allow their own highly specific problems dominate their opinion of the entire game because they are angry. Remember one thing! Anyone who gave this game a rating below 7 (which is the lowest score even the most critical reviewer could legitimately justify) is not being a good reviewer. Level design is simply inspired! The game is hard but with patience you can always master its challenges. The characters are well voice acted, the dialogue provided is excellent given the genre and effect the designers were going for and above all, it all comes together to form a deep and often surprising gaming experience. The game masters atmosphere like no other, presenting a bleak and emotionally crushing fantasy world that looks as though it has reached the end of a very long history and is crumbling before time. But as YouTube offers numerous ‘getting started’ guides, this is not a big problem. The only problem is that the ‘instructions’ the game provides, especially in the tutorial zone, are all console-commands, making learning how to play a little tedious at first. The mouse movement is smooth and attacks/actions are crisp and feel ‘weighty’. It is let down slightly by the fact that the console-port is not as complete as I think many people would have hoped, but it is still extremely well executed. The only problem is that the ‘instructions’ the game provides, especially in the tutorial zone, are all console-commands, Dark Souls II is a great game.
