I have to agree with the sentiment that Dark Souls 2 looks worse than its predecessors in some locations, but looks better in other locations.  With said, Dark Souls 2 features a much more stable framerate compared to Dark Souls. Of course, if you're concerned about visual and technical performance, your best bet is to play the game on PC (the framerate alone is worth it).

As a Souls fan, I think that the gameplay and character progression in Dark Souls 2 are at their pinnacles for the series. I was somewhat disappointed by From Software's slight move away from the level design in the original Dark Souls, as well as their decision to not include a branching plot (like the different directions from the serpents). I personally review it slightly lower than the original Dark Souls, but it's still a very fun game.
