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.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is an incredible fantasy RPG that immerses you into a living and breathing world full of memorable NPCs and terrifying monsters. It often starts to feel old-fashioned in its gameplay design, but you can find the charm in it after many hours of gameplay.
Set in a huge open world, Dragon's Dogma offers an exhilarating and fulfilling action combat game with the freedom to explore and interact in a rich, living and breathing world. Alongside your party of three, you set out to track down and destroy a mysterious dragon.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 has finally graced us. The 2012 cult classic has sparked both excitement and controversy among fans and critics alike but with a bigger budget and lessons learnt, we can finally see these kingdoms blossom. Developed by Capcom, this open-world fantasy RPG promises a rich adventure, exploration, and intricate combat mechanics. However, there are surface-level concerns that may steal the hearts of those eager to jump into this deep game.
Hark, what flame against starlit backdrop breaks? It is the dragon's, and it burns for thee, for me, and for all other creatures under heaven's firmament. For in sooth, is there aught in Gransys that does not fear fire?
You have to hand it to Capcom: it's releasing Dragon's Dogma at just the right time. Six months after The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and ahead of the traditional summer drought, it has the PS3 adventure landscape all to itself. Thankfully it's got quality as well as good timing.
It’s a strange game, Dragon’s Dogma; it does some really brave and interesting things, but it also feels unfinished, with technical problems that often spoil things. The combat, though, is one of the best real-time RPG fighting systems around, with flexibility and variety that carries the whole game. It deserves to be complemented by an absorbing fantasy world and an array of well-written quests and characters, but instead the quests get repetitive and the fiction is soporific. Dragon’s Dogma has the scale and challenge of a great action RPG, but not the character or polish. Nonetheless, if you can persist, there’s a lot to love here, and some great ideas that make you want to give it a chance.

As it stands, Dragon's Dogma 2 is a good action RPG with some thrilling monster combat. However, it could be so much more. Technical issues and some poor design choices hold back what could've been a truly fantastic game. There's still hope for it to become that, but this never should've been a concern in the first place.
Dragon's Dogma is an interesting, ambitious and thought-provoking effort, but it's not the all-conquering RPG Capcom hoped for.
Dragon’s Dogma will not be a game for everyone, be sure of that. It’s a classic love it or hate it tale. In fact, more than likely its many design quirks will even annoy those that do enjoy it overall. That makes it hard to call the game any which way. Yet, there is certainly a quality to be found here. It’s a missed opportunity towards something grander, but at least it tried its hardest to walk in uncharted territory. Better luck next time.
Dragon's Dogma has many flaws - and, in general, comes across as unpolished and unfinished. Some RPGs find themselves choosing between gameplay and story. The key to a successful RPG is finding a balance, but Dragon's Dogma chose to focus on an, admittedly excellent, combat system, leaving a story that is laborious to follow and uninspiring. Quests are a drag, characters are lifeless and the game is unforgiving for the patience a player will put into it. The combat carries a lot of weight and is the saving grace for the title, making it playable for that feature alone. If your playlist is getting bare and you're looking for a game to fill that void, or just wanting to get early access to Resident Evil 6, Dragon's Dogma might be a slightly amusing way to waste some time - otherwise it might be best to let sleeping Dogma's lie.
I’ve been waiting for a sequel to Dragon’s Dogma ever since I played the PC version a few years back. It’s a deeply special game with so many unique ideas, engaging systems, and freedom that’s hard to come by in a single RPG experience. That is until Dragon’s Dogma 2, which takes everything from the
If the insane J-Rock theme that erupts from the title screen isn’t enough evidence, having your heart plucked out by a dragon’s fingernail within the first five minutes seals the deal: Dragon’s Dogma is a bit... different.
