“Game runs very hot even at mid graphics settings for me. Maybe my laptop specs are low-tier. Cyberpunk, Gta V, RDR2 runs cooler even at high settings for me though. That said, low settings and a couple mods later, this…”
“At 17 hours, the sense of adventure is still there. Combat feels excellent like the 1st game. Though, I definitely don't like the limit on equipable skills Performance in big towns is still not good, but nowhere near…”
“I dropped this about a 3/4ths of the way into the campaign. The gameplay is pretty fun, as are the vocations, but the issue is that they're only fun till you start to level quickly. Then, you get to the point where…”

“I'm so glad I played this. Runs amazingly, having a lot of fun. Same vibe as Dragon's Dogma 1 just better overall execution.”
“The ending sequence is crisp I only wish the game was longer and way more expanded. Some things felt half cooked but the part that was cooked was amazing. Nowdays I don't have the time or willpower to sit through these…”
“I love this game. I can wait to see the next installment. Ran just fine on my machine. It looked great.”

“This game was one of the most hooking I've played, I don't know why, but got me glued to the screen ever since I got it, and smacked 30 hours in it across a week.. And in a sea of mixed reviews, I incline towards the…”
“I’ve really enjoyed my time playing Dragon’s Dogma 2. The combat feels satisfying and weighty, the music sets the tone for both battles and exploration, and the vocation system gives you plenty of freedom to experiment…”

“I think Its a good game. Its got a fun fighting and gameplay loop with an interesting story, but the economy is off. Cost of an Inn is outrageous. I could just go out IRL if I wanted to experience inflation like this…”
“not sure why it is mixed reviews. it is a very good game. if you like the first one you will like this one. if you havent played the first one just play this one :) character creation is awesome, combat is second to…”
“Beautifully crafted story back by engaging gameplay, where every choice matters and even simple quests that seem annoying may come bite you back in the future if you ignore them. I have but one complaint, which is the…”

“It’s the action RPG with the most interesting combat system I’ve ever played. At first it can feel tedious; don’t think you can brute-force your way through it. It’s a game that will push you out of your comfort zone,…”
“A Great goodbye to CAPCOM by Hideaki Itsuno. Without ever experiencing the original Dragon's Dogma, I truly feel, that DD2 is Amazing Action-RPG. Although it leans more into the Action part of the genre, then the actual…”

“I got to level 23 and this game keeps crashing, now it won't even load a save file. Tried everything on the forms and no luck. Trash optimization for an open world game. Capcom should feel bad that the game is still in…”

“This game would be great if Denuvo is removed and I get full performance of my PC gets allocated only to the game.”

“There are fundamental issues with the game; peformance, lack of enemy variety and poor gear progression. But there's no other game that really does what dragons dogma does. It does some things better than the first game…”
“Wonderful game. A genuine high fantasy RPG, the combat is some of the most fun ive had in a while. the world feels fleshed out and alive, the story however is a bit lacking. The traveling i must admit can get tedious…”

“Dragon's Dogma 2 stands as one of the most enjoyable open-world titles I've played in recent memory, however unlikely it may seem. Much of the criticism directed at it also pertains to the original, which could be seen…”

“Literally unplayable with mouse+keyboard unless you use something like AHK to remap keys. They've hardcoded many keys so that they only work with a "Press X + Press Y" format, and there's super clamped mouse smoothing…”
“Solid and fun game. I haven't had performance issues whatsoever aside from minor FPS dips in cities and small lighting things, but I have a beefy PC. Buy it on sale because I can't defend the price tag. If you like the…”
“***Buy it on sale!*** I haven't completed the game yet, but these are my thoughts so far. TLDR Good: Character creation is great. Mid-game character editing is unlocked early. Exploration is amazing. Fighting big…”

“While I did enjoy my time after having a ton of hours in first one on PS3 since 2012 this sequel feels like a stepdown from first, even without DA expansion: you're locked to 4 skills no matter what vocation, vocations are split to having only one weapon except for Wayfarer that…”

Let's get this straight, this game isn't perfect. There are…”
— a player, Steam review · 87 hrs played“This game keeps being almost good. Unfortunately it never fully delivers, except for exploration enjoyers. I think delivering so little improvement after 12 years since the first game is unjustifiable. It feels like incompetence or detachment from the community, but smells like…”
