Online multiplayer is a significant aspect of Dark Souls II, allowing players to interact in cooperative and competitive modes. The interconnected world design, intricate lore, and challenging gameplay make Dark Souls II a standout title in the action RPG genre, though it is notable for being a departure in some aspects from the original Dark Souls.
