Dragon's Dogma 2 is a RPG full of exhilarating emergent moments, but that comes at the cost of polish and approachability.

Dragon's Dogma 2 MSRP $70.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “Dragon's Dogma 2 is an exhilarating, if occasionally frustrating, RPG full of dynamic player-driven moments.” Pros Cons Last week, a Dungeons & Dragons adventure I took part in with some friends went terribly wrong. Our DM created a small encounter with some mummies in a graveyard as a fun side excursion during a larger quest, but a series of bad rolls turned it into a bloodbath.

Eventually, the Arisen escapes captivity, regains their memories, and then works to stop the plotting of the queen and the leader of the kingdom of Battahl, who want to retain power in a world where they feel they are losing control. It’s a narrative not afraid to question if people truly have free will while under the control of someone else, something exemplified by Dragon’s Dogma 2’s pawn system.

An unexpected journey Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an expansive and brutal open-world RPG, and the Arisen’s journey makes that clear while traveling all around the regions of Vermund and Battahl. The former is a mountainous and forested nation full of hidden caves and other nooks and crannies to discover, while the latter is a harsh desert full of formidable enemies and significantly fewer towns and places for respite.

All of those systems work in tandem to become an engine to create dynamic moments during every adventure. Perilous is the word I’d use to describe many of my early-game journeys in Dragon’s Dogma 2, which has advantages and drawbacks.
