Dark Souls II: Crown of the Ivory King Review (Dude Guy)
Excessive ambushes
Excessive mobs
First boss is not great
Main boss has a cool concept but the execution is terrible since the four knights you recruit are absolutely useless
The developers that worked on Frigid Outskirts owe an apology to anyone that used actual money to buy this. Frigid Outskirts is designed solely to waste the player's time and to artificially extend your playtime. It is more focused on annoying the player and wasting their time. You will be ambushed by powerful enemies, you can't see where you're going, you get stun locked by them, zero bonfires, and if you manage to make it to the boss gate with the one estus flask you have left, you fight the first boss but instead of just him, you fight two of him. If the developers have no respect for the player's time(or money), the player should ignore all effort that went into Frigid Outskirts and never consider playing it.
Without question, one of the worst DLCs I have every had the displeasure of wasting my time with.
