In a way, Dragon’s Dogma 2 reminds me of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead 2, which was more of a remake of his first cult-classic comedy-horror movie than a sequel. The much bigger budget allowed Raimi to really dial in his true vision for Ash’s bad night with the bad book. Like Evil...
When theDragon’s Dogma 2loading screen announces that I probably don’t have to worry about dying from a big fall, I’m elated. This means I can yeet myself off ledges with impunity because the game says that my pawn — my ever-faithful companion, protector, and sentient extra inventory...
Dragon’s Dogma 2tells that same story but you will suffer alongside your hero. You will feel every step on that long road to the next town, you will feel every bit of frustration when something doesn’t go your way. Thankfully though, even frustration is no match for mounting the face...
Dragon's Dogma is back and, despite some frustrating design decisions, sets itself up as one of the better open-world experiences of 2024.

'Dragon's Dogma 2' is a staggeringly ambitious RPG that makes innovative strides forward for open world games. It's a massive, though sometimes flawed, success.

Dragon’s Dogma 2is such a profoundly strange and inventive game at so many turns that its occasional stumbles are largely forgivable. For one, there are a few too many side quests that leave you stuck in town, some of which lean on woefully underbaked stealth sequences. The technical perf...
Dragon's Dogma 2offers you a wide variety of vocations from which to select. If you so desire, you will get the chance to test out each of them with their Arisen. When you create a character, you get to pick one of four initial occupations for your Arisen and main pawn: Thief, Arch...
