Dark Souls 2 Is Actually Good

Dark Souls 2 pisses me off more than any other game in the series. I still got the platinum, and I still keep coming back to it. So I sat down to figure out why, and to settle one question for good: is Dark Souls 2 actually a good game, or just a bad Dark Souls? 🔥 This isn't a defense video, and it isn't a hit piece. It's a long video essay from someone who loves FromSoftware's weirdest sequel and still can't forgive it for a lot of things. ⚔️ If you've ever argued about Dark Souls 2 or Scholar of the First Sin in a comment section, you already know which side you're on. Somehow I'm on both.
