Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is very similar to CBT: It's painful, but you keep going back for seconds.

The game is simply put, very clunky. Most things in the game don't feel very fair solely because of the amount of jank. If you aren't upgrading ADP only early on, you are going to have a terrible time— unless of course you're turtling with a shield. Enemy placements are frustrating, durability is frustrating, level design is garbage, and the bosses are lame and uninspired.

I'll admit I suck at the game, but is there any incentive to "get gud" when the game ain't gud?

This is a mediocre game, but it is a very bad Dark Souls game. I beat it, but the sense of accomplishment I felt came solely from the realization that I'd never have to touch this game ever again.
