Imo DS2 is the best of them.why don't u like it?
Uninspired world/level design compared to the others, lazy enemy placement (almost 'jump scare' inanity to the design of them in many places), too many humanoids, clunky feel to movement, even the camera feels off.
In every other Souls game, I get lost in the world immediately, completely drawn in. DS2 on the other hand just repeatedly annoys me every five minutes.
It had a problematic development and, for me, it shows badly. If you enjoy it, obviously that's good!
