Dragon's Dogma II

Dragons Dogma 2 succeeds in taking the foundation of the first game to a next level, whether in the diversity of it's playing styles or with how interactive the world and environment is, which can give you a boost of creativity in battles.

However I think it did not manage to make a good balance between its exploration elements and how missions can be completed.. the game doesn't give you the option to skip Exploration, instead, it forces you into taking the long hard way to only reach your destination.. while selling you microtransactions to make traveling easier!

Adding to the poor investment in its storyline, which I found to be quite skippable and only serves as a way to present its gameplay and assigning you with irrelevant missions


•Dragon's Dogma 2 can be very frustrating at some point, but can also be really fun to play if you managed to adapt.

8/10

+ slåss mot stora monster

- strukturen på quests
- ”wait till next morning”-the game
- stealth man tvingas utföra är värdelösa
- ”inventory management”-the game
- performance
- combat som inte är mot bossar känns enformig efter några timmar

Haven't finished, micro transactions are optional but still sour the taste of a wonderful game.

I love what this game is and what it tries to achieve. Fun gameplay and Immersive world. It just couldn't keep me interested beyond the first half. It didn't respect my time with the fast travel obstacles which felt that they were inserted to drive the p2w microtransactions made it worse. Also the dull story didn't help either.

So done with this game...
It's pretty, the adventure is cool, the landscapes are terrific, but that's about it...

Because every waking second of this game you'll be distracted by the godawful yapping of your annoying as all hell pawns, the copy/ paste enemies every 5 steps you take, the Inventory that needs to be emptied every 10 steps, the time you'll waste walking such long distances for it all to be for "nAugHt".

I don't understand these character creation RPG's. You can't invest in them. They're mute. Soulless. There's no dialogue. Everything said is exposition. There are no conversations, no jokes, no story, no motivation to move from A to B.

All I wanted to do while playing this game was play Kingdom Come, Cyberpunk Witcher or BG3. At least those games have some purpose to it all. They offer proper dialogue.

Not some dressed up combat RPG that has worse enemy encounters than the first Pokémon games. The annoyances became too much. I can't make myself waste anymore of my time on this. Very disappointing.

Just good nothing special
At first it felt like the Witcher 3 but after a while it just become a bit boring there is like three any types and the same mini bosses and then there is the dragon a bit hard at first then become a waste of time cuz they take a lot of time to kill, the side missions were meh, the main story is also meh, the gameplay was good in terms of magic abilities and the different classes u can use, the world is empty compared to other games of this genre, overall good game
