Dragon's Dogma 2

Great game ! Waiting for DA release ... Havent played the game in more than 1 year .. but with all the optimization comin and DA ill go for a fresh start

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a difficult game to review because, despite all of its flaws, I still had a great time with it. I enjoyed it so much that I completed 100% of the game, but at the same time I cannot ignore the feeling that this was supposed to be a bigger evolution of the original. My experience with the game started with a lot of frustration. At launch, Dragon's Dogma 2 had serious performance problems. With a Ryzen 3600 and RTX 4070 Ti, I could barely maintain around 30 FPS when entering larger cities. I had to use mods to force better performance and make the game run in a more acceptable way. Thankfully, many of these issues have been improved over time, and the current version is much better than the launch release. The biggest strength of Dragon's Dogma 2 is that it still feels like Dragon's Dogma. The atmosphere, world design and unique approach to fantasy RPGs are still here. The game has a special charm that separates it from other titles in the genre. Exploring the world, fighting monsters and traveling with your pawns still creates moments that few other RPGs can replicate. The combat is still fun, but this is also where one of my biggest disappointments comes from. The first game had an incredible combat system with different classes that completely changed how you played. Dragon's Dogma 2 improves the presentation but does not push the system far enough. In many ways, combat feels like a step sideways rather than a true evolution, and some aspects are actually less satisfying than in the original. The story is another mixed element. While the game has a fantastic twist but the overall storytelling is weaker than the first game. The way the plot is presented and how some events are handled leaves a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, Dragon's Dogma 2 repeats some of the mistakes of the original instead of fixing them. The game takes several big steps forward, but also takes smaller steps backward in areas where fans expected improvements. There was also controversy around the game's DLC, especially the additional items sold separately at launch. Some players criticized Capcom for creating a P2W situation. The DLC itself did not ruin the game, but the decision to sell these kinds of items created unnecessary negativity and damaged the game's reputation. Despite that, I still really enjoyed my time with Dragon's Dogma 2. It has a unique identity, fantastic moments and a world that kept me playing until I saw everything it had to offer. I will give it a Recommended rating because Steam does not offer a Mixed rating, and this game absolutely does not deserve a Negative review. It feels like Capcom had the opportunity to create something truly revolutionary. Pros: + Unique atmosphere and fantasy world + Fantastic pawn system + Great monster encounters + Beautiful visuals and world design + Still feels unlike any other RPG + Some excellent surprises and twists + Very enjoyable exploration Cons: - Poor optimization at launch - Performance issues can still appear - Combat is worse than the first game in some areas - Story is weaker despite having a great twist - Repeats old problems instead of fully fixing them - Unnecessary DLC controversy

20 hours in as of now and it's a solid 7/10* ( 2 years waiting for the fixes + removal of DRM [ main reason I waited 2 years to buy the game ] ). Combat is fun and changing vocations to experiment with different playstyles paired with exploring the map without any guides or external sources of information is an amazing experience, the community pawns helping point out POIs is really nice. Game runs reasonably well and mostly free of bugs ( small stutters while running in open areas and NPCs still load just a few feet away from the player inside cities - 2 Saurians spawned at the center of Vernworth but that only happened once and it was pretty funny so I guess I can let that one slide ). Will keep an eye out on the DRM situation since Capcom added Enigma to other games after removing Denuvo ( changing a product to a state in which a consumer would have avoided the purchase is a pretty important part of consumer right here in Brazil so I am making it as public as I can - I only purchased the game due to the removal of DRM ). Edit: * - 7/10 is good almost great - one more big patch to fix those minor stutter and increase NPC "draw distance" and it's a 8/10 ( that to me is 1 point short of games such as Witcher 3, HiFi Rush, Baldur's Gate 3). Good on you Capcom ( thou it would've been better to release the game as it is right now in the first place ).

With its many quirks and problems (design wise), I still love this game. Maybe just a guilty pleasure, but it has plenty of strengths and charms.

I was hesitant to grab this when it first released, but honestly it's in a really good state right now. None of the DLCs are required in any way whatsoever. For an idea of playtime, I beat the true ending while spending a lot of time running around exploring. Getting an eternal ferrystone so early does kind of defeat the point of oxcarts and getting ferrystones as a "rare" reward, but I do think the game is better off for it.

copy paste from then original. Combat feels extremely out of date and the overall pace of the game is boring.

Entiendo la critica que tuvo en un inicio, con las mejoras [ y sobretodo la última] es más que jugable y disfrutable Merece la pena al menos pasarselo 1 vez.

not for me
