This is a top 3 game of all time for me but I am gonna be so real here I wanted to kill myself the entire time while playing it. Never in my life have I played a game where the devs go out of their way to make it crystal clear that they hate you, your family, your pets, everything about YOU! I would rather suppository an entire dinner plate straight up my rectum then play this game for another godforsaken minute. This is an absolute perfect game in a sense that they wanted you to feel like a helpless slack jawed knuckle dragger the entire game. The absolute worst hitboxes in any game ever, the absolute worst game mechanics in any game ever, and the absolute worst jank in any game ever. This game is an absolute must play because of how much it sucks. This is a game for masochists or cucks, this game is like being cheated on by a partner of 10 years and still saying you love them and want to be with them. Dark Souls 2 is a hostile experience. This game doesn't respect you or value the time you put in it, this game doesn't reward you at all through your entire play through and spits in your face if you want to have fun.
