    Dragon's Dogma 2 is an RPG tailored for fans of the first game. They will get everything that delighted them 12 years ago, but in greater quantity and with a more careful execution. However, Capcom got lost somewhere in the process and forgot that there are also a lot of people who expected more than just a better first game. It is undoubtedly a bold title that tries to combine features of an RPG, hack'n'slash and a "road game" in an original way, but it didn't master any of these elements.

    Certain mechanics haven’t evolved from the first game and the graphics are sometimes disappointing. Still, the side quest structure and combat hold up after all this time. Dragon’s Dogma 2 simultaneously keeps the strongest aspects of its predecessor while failing to remedy the shortcomings.

    Dragon’s Dogma 2 offers an excellent RPG experience and a great adventure. Exploration is just as rewarding as in other games such as Elden Ring or Zelda Breath of the Wild. The gameplay and its versatility are like two peas in a pod, thus setting Dragon’s Dogma 2 apart from current standards. This second opus builds on solid foundations that it has managed to improve, while offering a range of welcome new features. However, the main storyline and the side quests are no more than backdrops, serving to establish a guiding thread and give meaning to this universe. Players familiar with the licence will be able to understand and reach the game’s ending, while it will be more complicated for those uninitiated who may be left wanting more.
