Dark Souls 2 is the weakest of the batch. The original creator was busy working on Bloodborne and the two original directors were not able to achieve the vision they wanted, causing setbacks and rewrites, ending in one of the two leaving the project and the other needing to finish it without specific direction. Most of the environments look okay, but compared to the original they do not feel as fleshed out or interesting. The enemies are fine, but many of the bosses are terrible reskins of Dark Souls 1 bosses, or are simply larger versions of normal enemies. From a texture and lighting standpoint, Dark Souls 2 is terrible, and needed significant patching before it was even acceptable. The Black Armor Edition includes a Steelbook case with raised artwork and places for two disks, so it can hold the soundtrack and game together. It also comes with a Black Armor DLC voucher which has long since expired. The soundtrack is excellent, filled with hauntingly beautiful tracks. Overall, if you are a fan of Dark Souls titles, this is one to have purely for collection purposes; otherwise the Scholar of the First Sin edition is the more complete and enhanced version.Read full review

Game is great. Not as good as the first, but still one of the best games on PlayStation 3

Being one of the later players of the first Dark Souls there wasn't quite enough time between them when Dark Souls II was released. I bought it, and after a couple of hours I put it on the shelf, so to speak. Now after another year has passed I was finally ready to venture into the dark, depressing, difficult, but amazingly rewarding world of Dark Souls II. One of the biggest difference between the two is the bon-fires that allow you to quickly travel between areas. This is a really nice improvement. The other major difference, I am not so fond of. In Dark Souls II when you die, you go Hollow. You get weaker, and you look really dead at least until you use a Human Effigy to restore your humanity. These are not too easy to come by, not ridiculously impossible, but enough so that you have to spend good chunks of time in this state, and I hate it. I just don't like being a rotten corpse, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. You don't get so weak that it is a major disadvantage that takes all the fun out of the game, it's mostly the aesthetics that I don't like. So I buy a helmet that covers my face first. Grinding is still the most important part of the game. Going back to areas over and over again defeating the same enemies, leveling up and improving your fighting skills. You will do lots and lots of this. If you are like me, and this sounds fun you will love this game. If you liked the first Dark Souls there is no reason not to love this game as it is really just a graphically improved continuation of the first in many ways, though definitely different enough to give the player a whole new experience.Read full review
