These potions can be found in the game or can be bought from merchants. Death is relative in Dark Souls 2 though: With special potions you can get your life force back. Parallel to this decline, the maximum life force is gradually reduced from death to death by half. Meat falls from the bone until eventually only a skeleton remains. After each death, the character loses some of its humanity. This is not only annoying, but also has consequences. One false step, an overlooked monster in a dark corner or the brute force of an all-powerful Boss depletes your life force in a split second. There is one thing that's easy about Dark Souls 2 - it is exceptionally easy to die. The fact that most of the enemies you've already defeated are alive again, makes this considerably more difficult. You die on the way, and the souls are still lost forever. There is one major snag with the souls: if a villain kills you, the souls are lost. With souls you can level up or exchange them for medicinal herbs, pieces of armor, or weapons. Instead of the usual experience points, the player earns experience by killing monsters for their souls. There's only a very short tutorial that newcomers to Dark Souls 2 can (maybe) get their questions answered. One false move and you end up dead - if you're not careful you'll be devoured after the first few steps. That's where the similarities with other RPGs end. First, you build the character by putting various character customizations together, once you've got the height, build, and hair color set, you then choose a fighter class. More importantly, it keeps one of the medium’s best games easily accessible and readily available.Dark Souls 2 starts off in a way that's not all that unusual for an RPG.

New players will find all of the mood, challenge, and tension of the original, and returning vets are given beefier online options and minor tweaks to small details. While bare-bones on the surface, Dark Souls Remastered is one of the best games of the last 20 years running better than it ever has.

This is the best version of one of the best games of all time, so veterans and newcomers all deserve to pick this up and journey once again into the Kiln of the First Flame and make their decision.


Dark Souls Remastered is a souls-like dark fantasy dungeon crawling game developed by QLOC, the spiritual successor to Demon Souls the game that started a new genre of games with minimalist storytelling, exploring an open world environment in a third-person perspective, battle enemies using various weapons and strategies.
