Readers familiar with the previous entries in the Souls series – The original Dark Souls and its spiritual predecessor Demon’s Souls – will already know what to expect from this latest instalment, but the uninitiated need only to know one thing: Dark Souls II will break you. Welcome to Dark Souls II… Prepare to die. You haven’t experienced tension in a video game until you’ve slowly inched down a corridor, shield raised and a bounty of souls accrued tenuously in your possession as you peer into the stygian darkness only to be blindsided by an axe wielding undead soldier who promptly buries his weapon into your vertebrae.Įxhaling your pent up breath you watch helplessly as your character crumbles to the floor, leaving behind a glimmering green and red bloodstain that tantalisingly offers the chance to regain all of your lost souls if only you can make it back to the location (Most likely deep in the bowels of a derelict castle) again without succumbing to the same fate, ramping up the tension even more as you cautiously try to regain what was yours mere minutes ago. Available on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 (Reviewed) and PC ()
