It’s insane to me because ds1 and ds3 are so good. Map presentation is beautiful but enemy placement/amount and boss runs just slow the game down. Towards the end I was muscle it through just to say I beat it. I’ve played ds1-3, bloodbourne, elden ring and demons souls. Ds2 was the only game I didn’t do a NG+ for. I didn’t even want to touch the DLCs. Every boss you simply don’t lock on and run behind and you’ll kill them 9/10 times. Miserable map for underwhelming bosses. It’s no wonder they never let this dev team touch another game
