Hot off of playing Bloodborne's The Old Hunters DLC, and with Dark Souls III just over the horizon, I thought I'd get myself hyped up by playing through the re-release of Dark Souls II, Scholar of the First Sin. Easily among the best levels in the game. This package is only worthwhile if you didn't already have the DLC - and even then, only if you're willing to start over from scratch.Īnnoyingly sharp difficulty spikes aside, the DLC levels are creatively well-designed with branching paths, shortcuts, traps, and a variety of challenging enemy designs. Audio glitches are still pervasive in some areas.ĭoesn't fix fundamental design issues endemic to the original release. It's still a collection of very short loops that all sound too similar. No noticeable changes to the soundtrack other than new tracks added for the DLC. Does not live up to the dark atmosphere promised by previews. Mostly the same graphics displayed at a higher resolution, which only makes them even more disappointing than the last-gen release. New enemy placements seem haphazard and often serve to make the game more of a chore. Higher framerate and resolution means provides smoother play, but makes shoddy hit boxes and other flaws more apparent.
