I don't care about what they say, this one is my favourite, it has its charm and I don't get some people saying it's the hardest one, I think it's easier than the first game, Majula is stunning as well, I had fun playing it.

i don't think you can buy this game without the scholar of the first sin expansion which so far isn't able to be turned off again. i would love to be able to play the base game, as it is extremely different.
This is the very first official Dark souls game I've ever played, and I hated it :D. No matter how much I tried, I managed to beat the second boss of the game, the Pursuer. I was pretty much bashing my head against the wall screaming profanities' and pained screamed at my cousins house while they Lmao'ing at said pain. I remember the release and joy I managed to slay the very boss that was gate keeping me from the rest of the game... Only the it to introduced me to multiple bosses in a single room in the Lost Bastille. I gave up for a total of 4 years before I had a friend that taught me the ropes in the SOTFS version of the game, and I managed to succeed overcoming such a bum penetrating train track of a game. Although I played the updated version of the game. It would be a new experience for me to try out the OG DS2 and say I officially purchased a DRM free of the game.

Ratchet: Deadlocked
Ratchet: DeadlockedRatchet: Deadlocked is the fourth game in the Ratchet & Clank series by Insomniac Games. Deadlocked is different in its counterparts in that it focuses more on shooting than platforming and puzzle elements. The game allows you to use two bots to fight along side you, which can be upgraded over time with better weapons and firepower. There are 10 total weapons in the game, significantly less than the other games. However, modding these weapons is more emphasized than before, with different kinds of Alpha and Omega mods. Omega mods can be used on any weapon, and range from the freeze mod to the magma mod. Alpha mods are weapon-specific, and increase the rate of fire, ammo capacity, and power. The game also features online multiplayer. Clank is not a playable character in this game, although he gives advice to Ratchet over his communication link.

Ratchet & Clank
Ratchet & ClankRatchet & Clank is a platform/adventure game in a similar vein to the 3D versions of the Rayman, Sonic, Mario, or other games. It involves the two protagonists Ratchet, a furry alien creature, and Clank, a nerdy little robot, going on a quest to find Captain Qwark and ultimately to help save the galaxy. Ratchet & Clank includes many of the best features of previous similar games, but makes itself unique in a number of ways. Firstly each of the game's levels are huge sweeping vistas with extremely detailed buildings which are visible at all times (i.e. there is no distance fog). This means that a building on the horizon is not just a "backdrop"; in all likelihood Ratchet will be exploring it in a few moments time. Secondly, the game includes a number of sub-games, such as a space fight sequence and a number of turret shoot-outs which are akin to Missile Command in the first person. The game has over twenty levels (planets) and includes as many real-time cut-scenes which tell the story. Also of note is that the story is non-linear, requiring the player to return to previous levels to complete objectives and to choose between multiple paths forward. There is also a respectable array of weapons, gadgets, and accessories to find or buy as the game progresses, which offer some unique gameplay features.
