Most unique and satisfying adventure you can embark on. You or love it, or hate it. Infinite stamina out of combat mod is a must have.

Dragon's Dogma is a really weird game. It's VERY META. Pros: - Combat is unique, monster climbing is fun - The different 'classes' are all actually quite fun - It's unique in a weird way - The Dragon's Voice is great(And one of the best boss fights in any game) - DLC/Late Game can feel like a completely different game - Has a lot of fun hidden mechanics/things you could play this for 200 hours and find something new easily Cons: - For me...too META. It feels like half game half commentary on what a game is especially the late game/New Game plus/DLC - VERY Grindy in the late game - Most NPCs are REALLY flat especially as the game progresses - It's wonky, I really suggest a game guide, you can literally accidently end up in love with any NPC in the game - It feels like it tried to be immersive in lacking direction with a lot of things, but it's so vague and so WEIRD that it just feels like it requires a game guide. A few times something is intuitive and when you solve it you feel good. But honestly I cannot imagine playing this without SOME guidance, you would just miss half the content on a first run(And I don't have the patience for playing a game a dozen times to find everything worth doing) - Starts out a mix of SOULSISHY and classic fantasy. But the end game feels more like a roguelike/diablo dungeon crawl that while it had some good points felt artificially stretched out to take longer than it needed to. Overall: Dragon's Dogma is a strange but fun game. And a lot of it's best qualities are also it's worst ones. I don't know that everyone needs to play this. But if you want something that feels a little different and can handle slightly older graphics it's worth playing. Expect it to be a tad wonky, and feel unrefined at times. But it also really delivers in a few places. Unless you absolutely love it, you can probably skip the DLC stuff in my opinion and stick to the main plot which is much more satisfying.

This feels like the opposite of the Witcher 3 experience. Fun combat and great movement but lacking in main story and quests.

The game has been a great hidden gem that I come back to every now and then. This game fills that void of needing a fantasy adventure game for me. And with the second game having bad optimizations for some people, I implore anyone, even in 2026, to try this game. Here are some pros and cons: PROS: 1. The world is pretty big; there is a lot to explore and do. 2. PAWNS! The idea of pawns is a fantastic idea; being able to switch out your pawns and rock some beefy bros or have some tiny girl who is insane at sorcery makes the idea of creating your own party fun. 3. Monster climbing is probably my favorite part of this game. Climbing atop monsters and beating them to a pulp while your pawns are obliterating them is fun to watch and do. 4. New game plus+ Any adventure/fantasy game needs to have this implemented to achieve replayability. 5. Quests. There are so many, which ties into the game having a lot to do. 6. Different builds. There are endless ways to level up and build your character and pawn that also ties into the game's replayability, with there being 9 different classes; this gives you many different ways to enjoy the game. 7. I know this isn't part of the game because I can keep going with pros, but the price of the game is always on sale; there is no reason to not grab it when it is 5 bucks. It will fill you with hours of enjoyment. I mean, come on, the enjoyment of a Big Mac for 5 bucks only lasts 5-10 min. CONS: 1. Tedious! Some optional quests seem a bit too tedious. 2. Inventory: Idk what else to say except I hate how fantasy/RPG games give you such low inventory space, but this may be personal preference. 3. WALK TO DEATH: Holy moly, I sometimes wish this game had a mount. The game tends to sometimes lead to being a walking simulator, and there are ways to fast travel and farm more, but for early- to mid-game you are walking so much or having to walk slow on escorting quests. 4. There isn't much of a story. Now there is lore, which should keep you interested in it, but I wish the game had a more developed story in it. 5. Pawns love to talk, and I mean to the point of hearing the same line 20x within 10 min. No, I mean it. Try it, especially in a fight. 6. Enemies: There didn't seem to be enough enemies. instead of fighting slightly different variants of enemies. It is an open-world game, and I would have loved to see hundreds of different enemies on my travels. MIXED/Personal Prefs 1. Coop. I love the pawn system, but seeing a coop option to have pawns and coop fill in for those pawns would have been a treat for anyone with friends. 2. More classes. Listen, I'm fully aware that 9 classes is already a lot, but with how many games there are with different classes, it would have been cool to see, like, a dedicated necro/summoner or a class with fist weapons. All in all, this game has brought so much enjoyment. and urge anyone to try it. Especially when its always on sale.
