At a preview event on the 31st of January, Expert Review's Tom Morgan stated that Dark Souls II was even better, harder, and more varied in the developer's choice of landscape and setting than its predecessor. He noted that the difficulty did not shrink to conform to a modernized player base but rather gained, in that the player is forced to lose a part of his health every time he dies, and also has to deal with a revamped AI system that improvises unpredictably to the player's actions.[18] Early reviews for Dark Souls II have praised the increase in difficulty, atmosphere and visuals in the game, seeing it as a large improvement even over the first two installments in the series. The German magazine M! Games gave it a 90% fresh rating, with the reviewer stating that it took him upwards of 60 hours to complete.[19] In a behind-the-scenes video released on the 26th of February, Peter Serafinowicz, cast as the voice actor for Pate, states that in his thirty years of playing video games, he has never played anything better.[20] Famitsu magazine reviewed the game with four reviewers giving their opinions, who each gave it 9/10/9/9, bringing the total score to 37/40.[21]
