Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin Impressions

Mike Katsufrakis

Scholar of the First Sin is first and foremost a complete rebalance of Dark Souls 2. Enemy placement has been remixed quite a bit, and the distance at which they'll spot you and choose to engage has been increased. They also seem to use more aggressive attacks as well, and sometimes will come sprinting at you as soon as you enter an area. You'll see enemies sooner than you expect, you'll see bosses used as normal enemies much earlier than normal, and there are a handful of new baddies to help ruin your day.
