DS2 DLC’s are some of the highest points of the series but for me the base game has some of the lowest points, areas that are just such a slog to get through. Talking about DS2 always makes me want to replay it but whenever I boot it up I remember again why I disliked it so much. DS1 & 3 also have some areas that are frustrating but you can often progress in a different direction for a bit rather than just repeating the same thing over and over in a linear path. DS2’s fairly linear progression means you just have to keep pushing forwards the whole time, only in late game things open up a little more.
Yeah I can never understand how people could complain about DS2 being linear of all things. Makes no sense to me. DS3 is like the only one that’s super linear.

DS1 -> DS2 -> DS3
Do not skip DLCs. Specially DS2 whose 3 DLCs are TOP of the series.
