Just finished Dark Souls Remastered after having played Sekiro.

It's pretty fun. Very rudimentary combat compared to Sekiro, but the world/atmosphere/lore and RPG elements do make up for it. It was actually fairly hard for me at first until I found the Black Knight (ultra)Great Sword, then threw enough strength into to carry me through the game.

I finished the game without intending to (thank god for their "Do you wish to start a new game cycle?" question in later games) so now I'll have to at least do ~50% of it to access the DLC content I missed.

I also didn't really kill any NPCs in my first run, so maybe I'll do it for kicks this time for new content.

I've been trying to get opinions about whether or not DS2 is any good. Opinions online seem quite polarized. I own DS3 but not DS2.
