Dark Souls 2

[Kreekakon]

For me the game feels slightly "easier" or let's say "more accessible" than DS1. When you in DS1 just had the flasks which you had to graduate clever you can easily buy the gems in DS2. I had never really a problem with my "health-management" in DS2. Also it feels like the bonfires are very close together. I was suprised when I discovered a new bonfire, because I didn't even needed one at the moment.

I thought the bonfire placement was just right. Right when I was starting to go "So much progress! Where's da bonfire!? Need to spend these souls" I would find one minutes later.

Really you don't like the boss designs? Imo DS1 + DS2 have the best character and boss designs ever (just my opinion).

I like the bosses in DS2 as well, it's just that most of them didn't stand out to me too specially in some way especially when compared to the first game where almost all the bosses lingered in my mind after beating them.

Although the Looking Glass Knight is indeed a super cool boss though.

I also wished there were more "graceful" bosses to add a bit of variety, instead of the mostly badass, or disgusting, like Sif, Moonlight Butterfly, or Gyndolin from the first game.

EDIT: Oh and yes, I am playing exclusively on mouse+keyboard because I don't have a controller
