Dying has never felt this good.

PC gamers, the wait has ended.

As of yesterday at 6PM Eastern, Dark Souls II is officially ready to play on PC. While the first Dark Souls was a notably-poor PC port, it seems From Games and Bandai Namco have listened and delivered. Durante, a very well-respected modder who "fixed" the first game, has given Dark Souls II a hearty thumbs-up (although that hasn't stopped him).

All-in-all, Dark Souls II is rating a few points higher (91 - 93) on all platforms than its predecessor – a promising sign for a game where getting crushed is half the fun.

"The PC version of Dark Souls II will take players on a journey through a devastated world where death and despair lurk around every corner; only those who posses strong-will and cunning will survive to achieve glory."
