I you liked the first one, you will like the second one. Graphics and gameplay improvement compared to the first one. Runs very well on my AMD RX 9070 XT. I'm having a blast so far. Mods for quality of life higly recommended from Nexus Mods, such as: -Fluffy mod manager -Unofficial DD2 patch -Simple difficulty tweaks (to make game more challenging from the start) -Masterworks All (for better chest loot and not only buying weapons and armors) -Gear progression overhaul -Bestiary Variant Spawns (more monster variant) -_ScriptCore -REFramework

If you're looking for an honest unbiased review of the game, I suggest you read this one: I waited a whole year to play this game do to mixed reviews and issues with the game. I also bought this game when it was on sale which if I recall was about half off. I also did play Dark Arisen, so I am basing my experiences off of that. One of the biggest hurdles for me was hearing about the performance of the game. It was heavily disappointing to see that a game was released with so many issues so I can understand the negative reviews at the game's launch As of right now I barely have any issues with the game's performance. Here are my computer specs: 13 Gen Intel(R) Core i7-13700k, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 While there are a few glitches here and there it's nothing that stops my progress of the game. When I enter the towns I actually don't have any problems with lagging or any drops. I optimized my game to make it run with my computer, which I strongly suggest even if you do have to lower the memory and settings a bit. I'm not one of those people that needs heavy graphics to enjoy a game though. Long as it looks good and it's playable is usually enough for me. Even then it still looks great. Now as for the game: It really feels like I am playing Dragon's Dogma 2. The game play, the way it feels, the way it works - I mean it's Dragon's Dogma 2. I know maybe some people were expecting something else - or more, but for me I wanted something like Dark Arisen and I would say that this is it. What makes Dragon's Dogma 2 fun - is how unique it is, the fighting, the pawn system, the monsters. All these things vary to a degree, but still the same in most regards. Are there some things taken away from the first game? The armor and clothing layer for one. Why they removed it - I have no idea. There some of it still present, but not like the first game. The lack of vocations too, but there's still quite a bit to choose from and a different offset for each vocation. The fighting is practically the same as the first game. Whether it's the first or the second game you're still using the same buttons to attack regardless of what your vocation is. Can it be a bit repetitive depending on the vocation? Yeah sure, I play a mage - most of that is spells, standing, and using the same spells. Does it bother me? No. my goal is to stay alive and stand back to deal as much damage as I can while I let my pawns do most of the close combat fighting. You really just have to pick which vocation works for you. One of the most creative things about Dragon's Dogma was the pawn system, which in this game... is FANTASTIC. I would say a lot more than the first. I'm not sure if maybe a lot of what they did went to the pawn system compared to everything else, but the pawns are so fun, and it's so interesting to see their interactions based on each other. It is incredibly more in depth than it appears, the way they remember quests and other Arisen’s and the things they may have done during the game is phenomenal from an AI standpoint. They feel surprisingly real, I've had a pawn recently tell me how the quest I completed was failed by an arisen they traveled with. They'll tell you who Arisen's travel with, one at the beginning of the game told me someone traveled with only females (lol). I've had my own pawn run around and hail everyone after defeating an ogre. I also had my pawn pick up another pawn and throw them over the cliff when that pawn was down and trying to revive them. Why did she do that? Don't know but it was funny. Can the things they say become repetitive? For sure, they can repeat dialogue, but if you pay attention you'll always see a unique interaction with your pawn or other pawns. And I do enjoy being able to high-five pawns and give them gestures after fights. It's really unique and a great part of the game. As for the quest; the quest system in the first game wasn't really all that great either. I would say it's about the same. I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. A lot of the quests are more direct and this may be due to the fact that in the first game you could fail quests if you didn't do them in a timely manner. While the second game has that same feature, the difference is this time they make you a little more aware of that so you just don't "fail" and wonder.. how did that even happen? In a lot of ways, they still throw quests out just like the first one, it's up to you whether you want to do them or not. The map, in my opinion, leads for a lot of exploration. I think it's enjoyable, the first one was a lot smaller. This map I do feel like with the little towns, or places, various caves, there's more going on in it. Would it be nice if there was more to some of these areas? Yeah, but do I feel like it ruins the game? No- a lot of these places tend to be for quests/exploration you don't necessarily need to go back to it (if you don't want to) after you're done. Plus, with the ox/ferrystone system, you have a fairly easy time traveling through the majority of the map. The ox cart system is really unique, and as you progress 200 gold is chump change, you can also save ferrystones and travel to any portcrystal. Truth be told, I find myself using the ox cart system quite a bit. Which leads to camp/resting/inns. Backpacks are actually fairly easy to come by, and you can use them until they're gone due to a monster attack. In the beginning it can be difficult to sleep and replenish health at inns but once again.. after you progress, spending the money isn't all that bad. Even then I would just find myself sleeping at a camp on purpose to save money. After some point you can buy a house in Vermund and travel and sleep there whenever you want. As far as the health system goes - I don't find myself having all that much trouble with the shortening of the health. I think it makes for good planning/strategy and it's super easy to replenish it by once again going to a campsite/inn if you're already traveling. The monsters are all the same just like in the first game maybe save for the Hydra and the wyrms. I wish they definitely added more and also the leveling progression was better but that was also an issue with the first game. They're still fun to fight though. The story; I really enjoy it. I think one of the biggest problems with the story others have is how different it is compared to the first one. It's more political, but I like that sort of setting/premise. I think it's interesting to see how this place built for the arisen to be king is now being usurped from them and it's something that can VERY much happen in something like a monarch. I don't think it's unrealistic - as well as how people don't like pawns or may use them as slaves. The quests also paint a bigger picture of what's going on. It's unfair to say people won't enjoy the story when it really just depends. it may not be for everyone but there's definitely something to get out of it. Plus if you max out your pawns affinity you get one of the better endings of the game which I STRONGLY recommend. All in all, I think the game is definitely worth playing. I believe most of the negative reviews are unfortunately due to a poorly painted reception due to the launch of the game and what others have to say. Form your own opinion- I was one of those people who thought it must be a terrible game until I played it for myself. I think the other issue is the price. Even then, there's no justifying the price tag and can give more of a negative perception when you're spending so much money. Get it when it's on sale and you'll definitely get your money's worth. Lastly, the Everfall is not in the game, which gave a lot more to the game after you finish the main quest in the first one. Hopefully they’ll have a good DLC to add like BitterBlack Isle

This game is an oddity. Most open world RPGs have really good stories but big empty worlds. This is the opposite. The story is fine, nothing special but the world itself is one of the most immersive RPG settings I've ever experienced and there honestly is something around every corner (although enemy types do repeat quickly). Main negative - this game is poorly optimized so you do need a beefy rig. But if you have one - grab an ale and have good time

The entire first 30-40 hours of the game is a Remaster of Dragons Dogma. When you finally beat the game at 40 hours you get an ending but that does not mean you got the true ending of the game, in fact 99% likely you got the intended ending of the game. Which is to say that you got the ending that the Fate Weaver intended. However if you instead of following destiny laid out for you as the Fate Weaver intended, you figure out how to actually beat the game at the 40 hour mark. Well instead of getting an end game roll credits screen. You get to start "Dragons Dogma II". That's right the real sequel to the game does not start until the end of the Remaster and only under specific victory conditions. At this point the splash screen of the game literally changes so that instead of seeing "Dragons Dogma" you get "Dragons Dogma II". Also the entire world space becomes different, there are different monsters, and you have also new quest. That has been too much of a plot twist for most of the Dogma fans to handle. The story is tired for a specific reason. That reason is that the story itself is "Fated", it is not a story born of free will, but controlled to happen specifically as it has and retold throughout time over and over again. This happens specifically because of the Fate Weaver, makes it happen every time. This is not a place of free will, Everyone, the villagers, soldiers, upper class, dragons, pawns, and arisen all of the have no free will. All of them dance exactly as the Fate Weaver wills it. The real story is that everyone is tired, especially because they have relived these things over an over. The Dragons Plague, is actually a disease because the world as the Fate Weaver deems cannot have free will and free will is exactly what happens when a pawn gets Dragons Plague. The pawns go nuts and destroy entire villages as a result. Free Will is seen as a disease by Fate Weaver. The story of Dragons Dogma, is the player sets out and does exactly as the Fate Weaver demands. The story of Dragons Dogma II, is the player overthrows the system and achieves free will destroying the shackles of destiny that the Fate Weaver established. The characters in the game are tired, the players come in expecting something but they get what they dont want. So the story gets rated 4/10. Monsters get rated 4/10 because exact same as Dragons Dogma. Never making the connection with the in-game lore. There can be no new monsters because the world itself a "Remaster of Dragons Dogma 1" did not have new monsters! It is not in accordance to FATE itself! So a total misunderstanding. Dragons Dogma II, actually doesnt start until 40 hours into the game! That is when you get new lands, new monsters, and you set about changing your fate an exercising free will. The entire story of Arisen, Dragon, and Pawn is one of continual replaying the same story over an over throughout time an the Fate Weaver forcing this to be so, well in the true ending of DD1 remaster you break that cycle an start DD2. The game gets called a "Remaster" and not a sequel because the players giving it that review never actually even got to the part that "Dragons Dogma II" started. They never understood that in fact they were playing a "Remaster" on purpose and had to finish the remaster in a specific way to unlock DDII. Players complain that the game is not "Dark Arrisen" not understanding that DA is not a product of the original creater of Dragons Dogma and so is not LORE! So Dark Arrisen has no place in Dragons Dogma specifically by the original creator and so it is not in the game nor will it be in this game. I'm not even a fan and I never played the original dragons dogma or DA, and I finally came to understand what the hell was going on in this game. The people on the Forums couldnt have been more wrong about this game, its actually a really cool game like a you beat actual Dragons Dogma II but that only starts 40 hours into the game and will likely take another 20 to 40 hours to complete. All of that is not easy to understand coming into the forum with so many threads constantly going on about where is DA, how come this is a Remaster an not a sequel? Those are not valid complaints made by people that actually understand what the game is. Only valid threads have been complaints about optimization and I highly doubt at this point that will get fixed up. Also I find it unlikely that given the nature of this game and since Idsuno retired that any DLC will be added to this game, because the game as it is now is how he meant for it too end. The entire story, is break destiny, and achieve free will. Dragons Dogma 1, was only meant to establish the situation that is on repeat forever. Dragons Dogma 2, is breaking that constant cycle. An you dont even have to play the original first game because the first half of the game is a as direct a 1 to 1 of DD, because you are playing the remaster lol. Effectively the game is now complete.

"It would be funny if itsunos's last game before quitting was a giant 'F**k you' to Capcom that nobody picked up on" - cameron, punkduck's friend Now i understand why half of the game feels exactly the same to the first game, what an astonishing meta story by Hideaki Itsuno he is always 2 step ahead of all of us BRAVO and thank you to punkduck for enlightened me
