Entry VII · Open-world action RPG
Dragon's Dogma 2
A fantasy kingdom where every journey on foot becomes a story: ambushes, giants, sudden dragons and your AI companions.
1 In short
What you do. Travel with a party of AI 'pawns', climb huge monsters, and choose from vocations like archer, mage and warrior.
Who it suits. Players who love unscripted adventure and do not mind slow travel.
2 Entering the world
You wake in a mine, escape and step into a kingdom with no fast travel to speak of. Walking is the point.
3 Living there
Climbing a griffin as it takes off is unforgettable. Pawns chatter and help in their own odd way.
4 Where to stop
Camps and inns save the game; night is dangerous, so plan to rest before dark.
In its favour
- Unforgettable monster fights
- Journeys feel like adventures
- Interesting pawn system
Against it
- Slow travel
- Thin story
