Anyone who's not been living under a rock for the last coupe of years will know a few things:
Dark Souls was a successor to Demon Souls, eventually ported to PC from Consoles - Half the PC world loves it the rest threw a tantrum about the Graphics and how you need a controller to play it properly.
It's also famous for being very tough, especially on new players, and having very little scripted progression, resulting in it feeling lacking in direction causing peopel to occasionally freak out and rage about it.
That said, it's one of the best Action/RPG / Hack'n'Slash games ever made. (imnsho) even Yahtzee feels it's excellence.

Anyway - the much anticipated sequel has been out for a while now on both last-gen consoles and now Glourious PC Master Race Edition. I've put about 70 hours in or so now and can say that it's utterly glorious and you should buy it immediately. With a few caveats. You still need a controller, the K/M support is pretty poor - the game simply isn't designed around it. Once in game it reacts a bit differently, general character movement / attacks do feel noticeably different, some say clunky, but some do like to complain about just about anything >.<
Level design and atmosphere is amazing, the game is massive and is still growing on me daily. Magic is expanded, swords improves, archery is excellent, etc etc etc. There is all the hidden depth you would expect from From Software - AND you can gank noob gankers all day.
It starts of a little more forgivingly but is in no means "easy" - though it's first few bosses on each path are definitely simpler to defeat than some of the early DS ones.
It's at least a solid 9/10 at this stage and still warming up - and iv'e not finished it yet.
Buy. It. Now.
