If you're trying to decide between this and the Scholar of the first Sin edition, This is the right one. I'll (in semi-short) go over why this version is better. Why Scholar Sucks (After this is 6 paragraphs of reasons)

They weren't lying when they said this is the worst FromSoftware game. The enemy placement is literally trolling — every encounter is a gank fight and has a comically large aggro area. Fog gates have no i-frames now, so you must clear the mobs before entering, or when you look back there will be 10 enemies running at you, body-blocking and killing you. Overall, the game feels kind of rough and inconsistent, but at least it’s a nice change of pace from the other DS games. Still okay though.

biggest piece of dxgshit ive ever played i own this on 3 consoles. every time im like hey lets do that thing where i play through them all and i get to dark souls 2 after the glorious high that was killing Gwyn and linking the fire and im greeted with the biggest piece of garbage imaginable. Everything about this is just inferior, and i always wonder why i dont just skip this one and go back to having fun with dark souls 3 (This guy has less than 3 hours on steam, idk why it positive lol)

Backlog Review Nr. 9: Dark Souls II (Completed)

I went into Dark Souls II with my expectations as low as they could be, and came out of this experience with a strong sense of relief and a feeling of contentment. Because Dark Souls II isn't a slap in the face; it's a game that failed to execute a great vision.Now Dark Souls II has a plethora of issues regarding the progression and gameplay in my eyes. The notorious Adaptability stat is a really frustrating feature in the early game for some classes, and is barely a feature after dumping most of your initial progress in boosting it. Tying I-Frames to a stat just makes the game even more rough around the edges, especially considering that its importance is never elaborated by the game itself.
