Ambitious action-RPG with excellent world design and engaging pawn system.
Our analysis
Excellent refinement with improved graphics. Quest opacity and no fast travel make discovery rewarding.
Our analysis
A hardcore action RPG that polishes the original's rough edges while keeping its charm, demanding patience through limited fast travel, harsh quest design, and punishing health loss that makes every journey an investment. Combat is spectacular, with distinct and viable vocations and the thrill of climbing massive enemies, while exploration is arduous but consistently surprising and rewarding. The returning pawn system adds flexible companionship and a distinct online layer, making it feel special in a crowded genre.
Our analysis
Easily the best game of the year for this creator, a fantastic title with phenomenal hidden-everywhere exploration, enjoyable stamina-driven combat, and a living world of scheduled NPCs and intertwined quests that make choices matter. It's a slow burn that only clicks after many hours, and it stumbles on the simpler things: poor enemy variety, thin loot and weapon/armor effects, shaky performance, and an early-game fast-travel grind. Brilliant but flawed enough to fall short of game-of-the-year.
Our analysis
Dragon's Dogma II offers an enjoyable adventure with exciting monster combat, varied vocations, and rewarding exploration. Performance problems, limited enemy variety, and less content than expected keep it from exceeding the creator's expectations.
Our analysis
One of the most intriguing and exciting AAA games in a long time — a faithful, deliberately unconventional action RPG that trusts the player with unmarked secrets, open-ended quests, and a freedom rarely seen at this scale. Combat is excellent and the AI pawn system works remarkably well, paired with a beautiful, dense world that rewards curiosity. It is weird and a little janky, with obtuse quests, limited fast travel, a slow opening, and a console frame rate that tanks in cities and offers no performance mode.

And my answer is yes, absolutely.Our analysis
An uncompromising open-world RPG that demands player adaptation and preparedness. The reviewer appreciates its unique design philosophy, beautiful world, and engaging combat system, despite acknowledging its difficulty and lack of modern conveniences. For players willing to engage with its systems, it offers an unparalleled action RPG experience.
Dragon's Dogma 2 has its good moments there are times I was having a lot of fun with it I think in many ways it is a step up from the original title and improves on some pretty key features but it's also a game that has some pretty glaring negatives even if you IGN the microtransaction stuff which I am entirely for the sake of this conclusion Let's Pretend those microtransactions don't exist at all I'm stuck with a game with performance issues a poor story lack of engaging side content poor enemy variety and speaking for myself at least that's just not a game I would pay full price for
Dragon's Dogma 2 realized, for me, the concept of the original game in a spectacular way, to the delight of all who waited so long for this and who saw all that latent potential in the first game of the series.
Dragon's Dogma 2 it is an absolute Masterpiece in terms of offering a true sense of adventure
Original · English
I like the game I found it to be quite a fun adventure and satisfying to play but it definitely will not be for everyoneI personally find it easy to look past the few minor issues that Dragon's Dogma 2 does have because the overwhelming majority of it is just an astounding experience very rarely do games manage to immerse you in their reality as thoroughly and convincingly as this latest action RPG Masterpiece does
even so there is an action RPG here that is richly rewarding and incomparable to its contemporaries if you can be patient with his quirks and open to embracing its hands-off open world and Quest

You weren't much fun, and you've got all the personality of a wooden cutting board and unflattering underpantsOriginal · English
but I personally have really enjoyed my time with it I'm happy to recommend it to people especially if they enjoyed a game like Elden ringAbout

A challenging action RPG with impressive character customization and deep gameplay mechanics, but hampered by tedious traversal, poor quest design, dated graphics, performance issues, and excessive microtransactions. Fun for RPG enthusiasts willing to endure early frustration, but falls short of expectations.

Our analysis
An ambitious, deeply immersive fantasy RPG with exceptional world design and freedom of exploration, but undermined by technical limitations (30 FPS cap, poor optimization), unintuitive systems (retry mechanic, Wandering Moon), and misalignment with modern gaming expectations. Creator found it increasingly enjoyable despite initial discomfort, making it compelling for players who appreciate realistic, demanding games.

Our analysis
A remarkable sequel that finally executes the vision of a hardcore dark fantasy RPG. The game delivers on excellent combat, immersive world design, engaging quests, and genuinely rewarding gameplay with very few flaws.

Our analysis
An original and enjoyable combat-focused action RPG with great mechanics and interesting design decisions, but severely hampered by poor optimization, high price point, and lack of Polish localization. Wait for patches and a sale before purchasing.
