Dark souls ll is a good game but it is not polished and varied as other entries, therefore this is my least favorite souls game.

Here are the cons:
The targeting system is really bad, it often gets you killed. Souls games always had this problem with big boss types but this time it happens even while fighting regular enemies.
The soundtrack was forgettable other than the Majula theme and that was a big bummer.
Half of the bosses were forgettable or they were gimmick fights and both disappointed me. Overall the boss battles don't stand out from other games and this is a big red flag for a souls game. I even started to use phantoms for DLC's bosses cuz it started to get repetitive.
The DLC has a good map layout forgettable enemies and meh boss fights other than Burnt Ivory King. With all these cons it is still a solid 78/100 cuz the core gameplay is fun as hell as always.
