'Dragon's Dogma 2' A Fantastic Journey Still in Progress

Going inside dragon's dogma 2, I didn't know what to expect as I had never played the first game. However, after previewing the game and finally starting the adventure, it has become a serious contender for one of the best games of the year.

Dragon's Creed 2 it's a sequel 12 years in the making, but honestly, looking at it, you'd think the game was made for the PS3, just like its predecessor, because of its old graphics, but don't let that fool you. he is a worthy successor.

Once the game starts, you learn about the political implications of the plot and how the Arisen's fully customizable role in this story won't really take shape until about 15 hours into the game.

But the main point of this game is the adventure that you and your pawns will embark on, and the developers did everything to emphasize your experience, especially during my review.

I didn't finish mine Dragon's Creed 2 playthrough before writing this review, so it will be a review in progress. However, I have spent quite a bit of time playing the game and will share my thoughts on my fantastic journey so far. Once I finish the game, I plan to revisit this review to give my final thoughts.

An expansive world to explore

Most of your time will be spent in Vernworth, a town teeming with life. Many NPCs offer quests, small tasks, and shops where you can spend your hard-earned gold.

Where this game shines is when you venture outside the city into the open world that is full of dangerous monsters. This requires you to plan your routes because speed travel is limited and how many items you plan to take with you. In this game, there is a weight system (I'm not a fan of them), but it requires you to think carefully about how you approach missions, which adds a fun and unique challenge to the game.

Fast travel is minimal. you have to find statues in different cities and activate them. You can then use Ferrystones, which must be found, to fast travel to these locations.

But if you don't have Ferrystones, you can either travel on foot or by ox and cart, which can be attacked on your way to a location.

During your travels, if you get caught in the open world at night, you can find a campsite to cook meat to gain buffs and rest until daylight. Your sleep can also be interrupted by goblins, ghouls, or whatever creatures this game happens to throw at you.

It's a lot of fun using the map to plot your way to your location because there are no shortcuts, mainly because your character can't swim and falling into water causes permanent death thanks to a creature called a plague that infects waters of the world.

Like other action RPGs, there is no one way to play Dragon's Creed 2. The game offers different play styles in the form of Vocations, which are the warrior classes in the game.

At the beginning of the game, players must choose from four main positions: Archer, Fighter, Mage, and Thief. If you play long enough, you earn advanced versions of the main four: Magik Archer, Mystic Spearhand, Sorcerer, Warrior, Trickster, and Wayfarer.

Each features a different play style. you can change your Vocations during your runs so you're not stuck with your original choice.

The combat in the game is fun, extremely fast and rewarding. Instead of trying to avoid fights, I found myself running towards them with complete confidence, knowing that my trusty pawns would help me handle business.

Smaller enemies like goblins, giant lizards or wolves are a challenge when they attack in packs, but the real fun comes when you battle giants like dragons, minotaurs, griffins, dragons and more.

There are times during these battles when giant beasts can either be knocked off balance or stunned enough for Arisen and your pawns to climb on top of them and knock them down.

Thoughts so far…

So far, Dragon's Creed 2 has my undivided attention at a time when another action RPG in Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is also vying for our time.

This is mine Elden Ringa game that I can see myself getting fully engaged in and watching because I enjoy my time with the game.

The combat system is fun, the Vocations add variety to your game, the story is pretty compelling, and I also appreciate your approaches to taking on missions that have consequences.

For example, some missions have time limits, so you need to map out your routes carefully. For example, in one quest, I had to find a boy who went out to pick flowers. The route I completed was the long one, and by the time I reached him, he had met a fiery fate at the hands of some goblins.

I also love the Pawn system, which allows you to use another player's created Pawns during your playthroughs. I was glad to know that Greg Miller of KindaFunny he used my pawn during his game.

So I'll wait to give this a final score, but right now, it's shaping up to be a rare perfect game.
