While technically it's a remastered edition too, for convenient sake, I will be talking about Scholar of the First Sin now alongside the 3 previously included DLC contents. Improved and more robust, this is the definitive version to play.
With 3 large new locations to explore alongside some very intimidating new bosses, it also mixes up some of it's level design with regards to enemy placements, balances certain aspects further out, and deepens multiplayer.
Scholar of the First Sin is a brutal challenge on top of the other titles as my souls were taken away many times. The amount of rage and suffering is rarely elsewhere to be found, but luckily that is the exact reason why I kept playing, in order to taste sweet victory.
Graphics and animations are better, and some would argue that the additional locations are in overall better than the core game. I don't share that opinion, but welcome additions include Brume Tower, Sanctum City and Frigid Outskirts.
Some of the toughest new bosses to be found include Sir Alonne, Burnt Ivory King and Fume Knight, but none really left a visual impression like those found in Artorias of the Abyss. Still, for a challenge, you have come to the right place.
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is worthwhile to play even if you have beaten the core game already, as replay value is some of it's greatest strengths in the form of NG+ and PvP.
