Ranking EVERY SoulsBorne Game From Worst To Best

6. Dark Souls 2

Dark Souls 2 is the clear-cut runt of the litter when it comes to Soulsborne games. It's hardly a bad game - in fact, it's a pretty decent one - but messy level design, generic lore and unimaginative bosses really make this entry shrivel in the shadow of its peers.

With series overseer Hidetaka Miyazaki absent as game director, his personal touch is evidently missing, with this feeling more like a rushed production made by committee, then a passion project helmed by the Soulsborne guru.

Still, PvP was a great step forward, and the revamped version, Scholar Of The First Sin, did a decent job of improving on the original's flaws. Yet, that was more a case of glossing over potholes than an overall ground-up revamp that makes the entry recommendable no matter what.

Despite the negatives, Dark Souls 2 still manages to be a decent time, but also a highly forgettable and inferior one compared to other titles that carry the Soulsborne badge of honour.
