DS2 exists for when you don’t want to play DS1 or DS3 anymore but you want more souls game to play.
It is also the roughest game to get started in but also by far the best game to cycle into New Game+ multiple times. It’s weird like that.

Dark Souls, kinda. Got DS2 when it was pretty new, and couldn’t get into it at all. Then I tried DS1 years later and absolutely loved it. So I tried 2 again, and it still didn’t click. Then 3 released, loved it to bits, played through 1 again, tried 2 again, SotFS this time, and I still hate that game. The way everything moves in 2 is just awful, and I will die on the hill that it’s a poorly made mess, from the ground up.
The other souls games are great though. Still have to get around to BB since the frame rate killed it for me on the ps4, but it works great in emulator now, as well as DeS

For me, a friend let me borrow Demon Souls but it just didn’t click. Years later, I played Dark Souls and it immediately became my favorite game. DS2 was my least favorite of the series, in equal parts because of the much different control/feel and also the wasted mandatory levels you have to spend to get reasonable i-frames. It just feels clunky compared to the rest of the series. I do really like the level design and environments though.
