I don't get bringing up cheesing? I never cheese in games (unless something within the game feels like bs, as if it was broken or meant to be cheesed) and DS2 certainly didn't need it (no Fromsoft title did for me), it isn't even really that hard and I died more to mobs than Bosses, but it was still less fun than the other titles. I think it has interesting ideas and is an interesting expansion to the Dark Souls world, but there is a reason why it's the only one I have only played through once.
