Dragon’s Dogma II

Critics Consensus (Play It)

Critics overwhelmingly praise Dragon’s Dogma 2 for its captivating world, strategic and impactful combat, innovative Pawn system, and commitment to player exploration. However, reviewers acknowledge technical shortcomings, some dated game mechanics, and a lack of hand-holding that could potentially make it less accessible to casual players. Ultimately, the game emerges as a unique and ambitious RPG experience likely to develop a devoted, cult-like following.

Game Info

Dragon’s Dogma is a single player, narrative driven action-RPG that challenges players to choose their own experience – from the appearance of their Arisen, their vocation, their party, how to approach different situations and more. On your journey, you’ll be joined by Pawns, mysterious otherworldly beings, in an adventure so unique you will feel as if accompanied by other players while on your own adventure. All of these elements are elevated further by the latest in graphics, artificial intelligence (AI) and physics technology to create a truly immersive fantasy world in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

9/10

Dragon’s Dogma 2 captures the spirit of the original without sanding down the edges of what made it excellent. Its insistence on player exploration and discovery, coupled with an ending I will think about for the rest of the year, makes Dragon’s Dogma 2 a standout game and a worthy successor.

9/10

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an excellent sequel that builds upon the first game’s core concepts to create a thrilling open-world adventure.

8/10

More of a redo than a sequel, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a strange and wonderful action-RPG that bolsters the original’s strengths without addressing its weaknesses.
