The graphics are bad, the controls are weird, most of the bosses are underwhelming and Soul Memory is terribly misunderstood. On top of that it was overrated by hack journalists who missed the boat on DeS/DaS and desperately wanted to seem like they "got it" by giving glowing 10/10 perfect reviews to DaS2, which caused a lot of backlash from the fans.

It's objectively better than Dark Souls 3 and Elden Roll but it's easy to see why most casual babies got filtered by it after 1 playthrough.
