After all, it’s great severing bridges and seeing your mythical enemies fall to their deaths, it’s great hearing the dope music after felling towering bosses, it’s great finding thousands of gold and stowing it away in your big fat purse (old Zelda games, anyone?) and it’s great meeting Captain Brant in the tavern at night and doing all the missions he gives you, it’s great. But it also sucks when people randomly come up to you to insult your character and it cuts off important story dialogue, it’s frustrating how shopkeeps say the same thing every time you interact with...

Dragon’s Dogma 2 feels unbalanced to such a degree that the game feels rushed. The lack of scaling impacts every facet of the game so much that I hardly have space to address the other negatives which also make the game feel rushed.

It still feels unreal that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is actually here and I’m reviewing it. It’s been twelve years since the original came out, and it seemed like Capcom had no interest in revisiting the IP, despite it being such a cult classic. I thought that I’d never see the brilliance of its Pawn system again. Yet, here I am still in disbelief, happily playing through the long awaited sequel of one of my favorite Action RPGs. Does it live up to the hype that such a long wait brings? Is cur...

Capcom has been on an impressive run these last couple of years. With the exception of maybe Exoprimal, there have been basically nothing but bangers coming from them. Their biggest franchises, like Resident Evil and Monster Hunter, have been thriving, while franchises like Devil May Cry and Street Fighter have gotten new entries that arguably rival the very best they’ve had to offer in the past. So, it’s only natural that people got excited when Dragon’s Dogma 2 was announced. In the midst of the developer’s renaissance, a sequel to a game that wasn’t the biggest hit Capcom has ever...

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is as much of an odd RPG as its predecessor and makes little to no concessions, leveraging its many strengths and unique traits to make up for the half-baked bits.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 already is coming into its’ own as another cult classic and boosts the things that made it a solid start to its initial franchise run. Despite some technical hiccups, it was incredible to see the series return in this form. While a few technical aspects need to be ironed out, the rest is bliss for the wait. As much as I have done on Dragon’s Dogma 2 thus far, clocking at least 80 hours, I still need to go back and undertake some pressing Meister Vocation mastery, Sphinx challenges, and redo some challenges with the same vim...

Like the original game, Dragon's Dogma 2 excels when you're out in its open world with your pawn allies – finding hidden caves and treasure, fighting monsters, and generally losing track of time. Also like the original, it falls short in terms of quest design, convenience, and general polish. A somewhat conservative sequel, then, but one that retains the charm of its predecessor.

The first Dragon's Dogma was ahead of its time. With Dragon's Dogma 2, its vision is fully realized. The result is one of the best RPGs of the last decade.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a worthy successor to the phenomenal Dark Arisen. Capcom managed to improve the game on every front while preserving the spirit of a classic fantasy RPG adventure set in a living open world.

Despite some annoying technical issues, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an absolute feast of an RPG. It’s cliche to say, but it genuinely feels like there is something to discover at every corner. There’s a variety of ways to build your character and party, and the Pawn system feels like it should be the standard for similar games moving forward. Capcom has once again shown a deep understanding of why its games resonate so well with people, and Dragon’s Dogma 2 is one we’ll be talking about for years to come.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a fantastic video game. It improves on every facet of the first title. An excellent main quest is paired with Capcom’s best English VO and some incredible emergent combat. It’s fully approachable if you’ve never given the first one a go, and any Action RPG fan owes it to themselves to learn just what the Dragon’s Dogma truly is.

Creating a sequel to a 12-year-old game is never an easy task. Recapturing the magic of the original while implementing modern technology and design strategies can mangle the core values that made the original special. Dragon’s Dogma 2 never loses sight of its roots, and constantly finds big and small ways to surprise me even 50 hours in. At its core, Dragon’s Dogma 2 captures a sense of adventure. While you’re the center point of the conflict and strife in the world, Dragon's Dogma 2 isn’t afraid to make you feel small. Around every bend, it reminds you that you’re...

Dragon’s Dogma 2 will belong to a fairly specific audience. The game requires a significant amount of time to truly enjoy it. You can't simply play it for a moment because you'll feel like you haven't made any progress. At the same time, it's great that such a title appeared – in times when AAA titles are bland and safe a different approach is needed. We needed a game to demonstrate that things can be done differently.
