It needs a remake tbh. If they let From Software have another go at it but put Miyazaki and the rest of the DS1/3 crew on the job this time, we could get a genuinely great experience in Drangleic.
Honestly the only motivation I still have for playing DS2 is so I can credibly refute the contrarians I constantly find in Dark Souls communities after that Hbomberguy vid dropped.
From my understanding, a lot of people appreciate the vibe. It’s also designed in such a way that you kind of need to use different tools to complete different sections and you need to be methodical as compared to DS1/3 where you can get by blitzing past every enemy.
I think another issue I had was that once I cleared one branch, since you can do them in Sorta any order, you end up being over leveled IMO.
