Wikipedia describes the game as follows:

"Dark Souls II"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Souls_II

"Dark Souls II is an action role-playing video game. The third game in its series, Dark Souls II was developed for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 by From Software, which also published the game in Japan, while Bandai Namco Games published the game in other regions.

Dark Souls II was announced at the Spike Video Game Awards on December 7, 2012. Hidetaka Miyazaki, who served as director on the two earlier games in the series, Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, acted as a supervisor, while the game was directed by Tomohiro Shibuya and Yui Tanimura. Although set in the same world, there is no direct story connection between Dark Souls and Dark Souls II. The game uses dedicated multiplayer servers.

Taking place in the world of Drangleic, the game features both player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) play, in addition to having some co-op components. As in the earlier games in the series, it once again features challenging gameplay, but with a more powerful graphics engine and more advanced AI system.

An updated version of the game, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, was released on April 2, 2015. The title is a compilation of the original game and its downloadable content and patches, and also encompasses a remastered port of the game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC with upgraded graphics and expanded online multiplayer capacity."

Gameplay
"As enemies are defeated, "souls" are accumulated, which can be used as either currency or experience points, with players upgrading various character attributes to reflect a certain style of play."

"...As souls are accumulated, the player has the choice to either trade them in to increase one of more than a dozen attributes (e.g. strength — to increase the damage inflicted, vigor — to increase the maximum amount of damage taken, or vitality — to increase the amount of equipment one can carry without impairing movement), or to use them to purchase items, equipment, or weapons."

"...When human, the player can also summon other players into their "world" in a form of multiplayer; players can either be summoned to cooperate on an area or boss, or for player versus player play by either invading other players' games, or by leaving a dark spirit summoning sign. ... In the early stages of the game, once a player becomes hollow there are only two ways for them to regain their humanity: to use a Human Effigy item, or to be summoned into another player's world and assist in conquering a boss."

Dark Souls II currently holds a Metascore of 91% on Metacritic, giving it a rating of "Universal acclaim".

GameSpot gave it a score of 90% saying "I may not have yet unveiled all there is to know about this beastly game, even after 80 hours of play, but I do know this: I will be adventuring through Drangleic for many months to come, sure to be haunted nightly by the disturbing gazes of the faceless titans that tenderize my flesh with their two-ton hammers."
