- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Ds2 is worth playing if you like the franchise/genre. It tries some stuff different from the previous game, and some of it works.
It think it's also easier than ds1, and maybe DS3. I almost cleared it without dying, just using a normal build. Because of the weird "lose max health on death" mechanic, if you die a lot it can snowball, but if you stay alive your max health is pretty generous.
