Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is definitely the sequel that its fans deserve! Featuring the same gripping and creepy gameplay that defined the game franchise, Dark Souls 2 pushes the boundaries by adding in a host of new sensory assaults that will prey on your senses and your deepest fears. The monsters and bosses in the game have also been reworked to be even more disturbing to look at when you're sweating buckets while engaging them in battle. Similarly, the multiplayer aspect has been improved as well, providing a better experience for both cooperative and competitive play. You'll even get new weapons, abilities, characters and more to boot!Dark Souls 2 is a must-buy for players who have enjoyed playing the original game, but if you have not tried the first game, you might want to get that first before getting this one.
Torchlight 2
Torchlight 2 is the well-received sequel of the popular dungeon crawling game, Torchlight. Similar to Diablo's sequel, Torchlight took to making its "dungeons" a little more open-aired, resulting in randomized levels overworld (rather than just underworlds) with nice weather effects to make the world feel more alive. There are more towns/adventuring hubs for you to visit too. The campaign is also reworked to provide players who replay the game a greater challenge to match their now upgraded character and as usual, you'll still have your trusty pet and some fishing to do on the side.Torchlight 2 not only supports mods (like the first game) but it also provides multiplayer so you can dive into its worlds by playing with your friends or with random strangers via the matchmaking service.
The Torchlight series have always had amore lighthearted tone to them and that actually made the game feel a lot more relaxing, and for some, more entertaining to play. Regardless of which part of the dungeon-crawling spectrum you like, Torchlight 2 is the sort of game that every fan of the genre should at least experience once in their lives.
