The most accessible of all the Soulsborne games, there are so many tools and ways to play that as long as you don't mind trying, almost any boss can be overcome without needing to be a parry-god.
Though you might find the open world overwhelming in the beginning, stay strong skeleton and you will find a true gem of a game.

The game systems are definitely better than PoE1, but the story I find less compelling. The newly introduced turn-based mode is a bit of miss though, it was cool for them to give us a free feature but it seems to break some key game aspects (e.g.- your party won't engage enemies unless you actively click on the enemies, so it makes your tanks pretty underwhelming).

The new districts, civics and revamped wonder system are great additions to this wonderful franchise. My only complaint is that Firaxis needs to iron out the various bugs and problems that have been here since launch.

Final Verdict: It's a really good game, but if you can stand to wait, you could wait till they fix the issues before you buy.
