Dragon's Dogma 2 Review - The Final Verdict

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is not your typical open world game. It has an extreme aversion to holding your hand in even the slightest manner possible, to the extent that many may not view it as a very inviting or approachable experience.

But in doing so, it delivers an open world experience unlike anything else out there. The developer has crafted a massive world here, one that feels alive and unpredictable in ways that games very rarely manage to capture.

Exploration is constantly rewarded, the combat is deep and visceral, and the progression mechanics are immensely engaging. All of that comes together in an experience that delivers excellent emergent gameplay and thoroughly immerses you in its world.

It's worth remembering that Gamingbolt also gave starfield 10/10, so I will approach this game with some trepidation.

The first game was underrated, I'm really happy that they kept what makes the first game unique and I hope people enjoy this game.

“By definition, it's going to turn some people off with its many eccentricities, but it's those eccentricities exactly that make it such an utterly unique and unforgettable experience.”

Absolutely fantastic review.

[awilywolf]

Love how dynamic and immersive the world is

[samanderson]

Is there any variety to the environments? All the footage I've seen is just this same grassy, rocky terrain.

[jonathanspencer]

This guy is bought out - cant be trusted .
How else could he give Starfield a 10/10?

Capcom Net Worth: 8.8 billion= Performance issues

Why so many people saying the graphics look terrible I think it looks great

[calvinmatthews]

That score, WOOF! Capcom is radioactive these days!

[oliverrrrrrrrrr]

Love all the people trashing IGNs review when they haven't even played the game lmao. Far too many flaws have been pointed out in published reviews for this to be a 10.

[damian]

The pawn system is the core reason why I'm getting this game. There's nothing out there like it.

[Metla]

All the reviews should be retracted in light of the reviewers being supplied different copies then retail. Hiding microtransactions is bad enough, but charging for character save slots is downright scummy.

[harshmellow]

What about the absolutely brutal performance and optimization though? The internet is rife with complaints of the bad performance.

[Oozaru]

What about performance and bugs? Was this the PC version, or consoles?

[EuphoriaDeep]

A combination of The Elder Scrolls and Elden Ring? Sold.

The description of what makes these games amazing. Great reviewing. The emergent gameplay systems is something that I value over most things in gaming. My favorite game "Noita" is entirely based on complex systems like physics, weapon creation, diverse loot a sandbox and that is the story.

He gave it a perfect score 10? Wow… I do love games with less cut scenes and less talking.
