Critic Reviews for Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
Even if it's only been a year, time has not been kind to Dark Souls' sequel and this remaster does little to help the situation – even if it 's a hugely engrossing game in its own right.
The new enemy arrangements don't trump the original Dark Souls II, but it's still a great jumping-on point
From Software once raised the bar for game design; now, they've done the same for HD remakes. Rest assured, this isn't just a lazy repackaging of old content. Even if you know the Kingdom of Drangleic like the back of your hand, you're in for many new surprises. And if you've never played Dark Souls II before, your patience has paid off: This is simply the best version of it you'll ever play.
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin targets two audiences: newcomers and veterans. In both cases it succeeds.
A great game in an edition full of content but with graphical improvements that do not justify its buyback.

A great soulslike in a very valid edition, able to remix content in an interesting way even for those who know the original game very well.
