I can see why the original Dragon's Dogma was such a cult hit. Over a decade later, though, with the technology finally capable of providing the horsepower to deliver Itsuno's vision, stepping into the world of Dragon's Dogma 2 leaves a lasting impression far more positive than I expected.

Cultured Vultures - Ashley Bates - 8.5 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a kitchen sink sequel to the original sleeper hit from 2012, building on what worked about the first game to create an RPG experience that's still unlike any other.

Destructoid - Steven Mills - Unscored

Even though I have plenty of Dragon's Dogma 2 to experience, I'm already incredibly immersed in the journey. If you've played the original, you know exactly what you're getting here. If you haven't—why haven't you?!—you can expect a massive living open-world RPG with rewarding combat and an intriguing storyline. It's not a seamless experience, but in my 40 hours of play it's certainly been a worthwhile one.

Dexerto - Sayem Ahmed - 5 / 5

Dragon's Dogma 2 boldly stands as a giant of the open-world genre that dares to defy existing conventions and expectations. It's a courageous effort that is as rewarding as it is deep. 80 hours in, I still feel as though I have barely scratched the surface of what's on offer. Its abrasive player experience demands you abide by its rules of engagement. Comply, and you will be rewarded with one of the most engaging fantasy RPGs ever created. Dragon's Dogma 2 is a masterpiece. It is an unmissable title that not only asks for your respect, but demands it.

Eurogamer - Lewis Parker - 5 / 5

A huge improvement over the original, and a captivating journey from beginning to end.

Fextralife - Fexelea - 8.8 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a fantastic adventure of exploration, discovery and learning that truly engages the player with a rewarding and nuanced combat system that carries well outside of combat. Brought down by small but impactful design choices and unfortunate poor performance on all platforms, this is the game of the year that should have been, but will likely never be…

GGRecon - Harry Boulton - 4.5 / 5

Despite my reservations about the late game, Dragon's Dogma 2 remains an exceptional experience on almost all fronts and an adventure that you unequivocally won't want to miss.

GameSpace - Taoshi - 9.5 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a worthy successor to the phenomenal Dark Arisen. Capcom managed to improve the game on every front while preserving the spirit of a classic fantasy RPG adventure set in a living open world.

GameSpot - Richard Wakeling - 9 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is an excellent sequel that builds upon the first game's core concepts to create a thrilling open-world adventure.

Gamefa - Mostafa Zahedi - Persian - 8.2 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is one of the most enjoyable RPG games in recent years. Combat is amazing, variety and depth of Vocations is impressive and boss battles are breathtaking. That being said, it suffers from some technical and structural issues. Story is shallow, side quests are somewhat underwhelming and frame rate drop is frequent. Nevertheless, Dragon's Dogma 2 is a must play for die hard fans of classic RPGs.

Gaming Nexus - Elliot Hilderbrand - 9 / 10

If action role-playing games are something you are into, then Dragon's Dogma 2 is your next big game. It's that simple. You may have been thrown off by talk of the lack of fast travel. But the game's director Hideaki Itsuno, is right: a good game doesn't need it. Dragon's Dogma 2's world is covered with experiences to have. It could be a hidden cave, a simple treasure chest, or even a giant griffin that just wants to create chaos for you and your party of pawns. Combat is easy to understand, and different enough from vocation to vocation that when I get bored with one class, I can easily switch to try something different. It's not about the destination, but rather the journey. As silly as it sounds, Dragon's Dogma 2 is all about the friends we made along the way.

GamingBolt - Shubhankar Parijat - 10 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a landmark release for open world action RPGs. From its thoroughly immersive world and its stellar combat to the incredible emergent gameplay its bevy of systems enable, Capcom's long-anticipated sequel delivers spectacularly in more ways than one. By definition, it's going to turn some people off with its many eccentricities, but it's those eccentricities exactly that make it such an utterly unique and unforgettable experience.

GamingTrend - Jack Zustiak - 95 / 100

Dragon's Dogma II is a masterfully refined take on the original game. It's easy to get lost in its massive world for hours on end and truly immerse yourself into the role of the Arisen. There are a ton of technical problems and oddities throughout the game, but somehow those didn't stop us from having a blast. In an age where the limitations of video games are a known quantity, Dragon's Dogma II transcends them to become a game that truly feels real.

Glitched Africa - Marco Cocomello - 9 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a vast RPG filled with a rich world to explore and a dense combat system to master. It is marred down by some dated mechanics and performance issues which at least can be improved down the line.

Hey Poor Player - Shane Boyle - 4.5 / 5

Dragon's Dogma II is an instant classic. Capcom hasn't reinvented the wheel here, opting instead to deliver the same blend of exploration and monster slaying that they established in 2012 while turning it into a full-on adventure simulator via a sandbox that is capable of generating jaw-dropping moments at every turn. It may not be polished to the degree that I'd like, but I find it impossible to be angry at Capcom when what they've delivered carries a level of ambition and seamlessness that needs to be seen to be believed. In a year stacked to the rafters with game-of-the-year-worthy RPGs already, Dragon's Dogma II is another fantastic addition to what is already becoming a complicated discussion and should not be overlooked.

IGN - Jarrett Green - 8 / 10

More of a redo than a sequel, Dragon's Dogma 2 is a strange and wonderful action-RPG that bolsters the original's strengths without addressing its weaknesses.

IGN Italy - Alessandra Borgonovo - Italian - 8.5 / 10

Dragon's Dogma II is both a blessing and a curse for fans of the genre and the series itself. A game that, even more, reflects Hideaki Itsuno's desire to keep players from breathing space or advantages.

Metro GameCentral - Nick Gillett - 7 / 10

An entertaining open world action role-player, with an interesting approach to AI-controlled companions, but which proves disappointingly similar to the 2012 original.

MonsterVine - Joe Bariso - 3 / 5

In a lot of ways, there's a great game buried under the surface of Dragon's Dogma 2. All of the components should work together. I've never played a game I was so frustrated with, but equally wanted to keep playing. For someone out there, I can guarantee this will be their favorite game ever. I'm sure it checks a lot of boxes for a lot of people looking for something different. I was looking for something different too, but I just feel like there was too much in the way for me to truly enjoy it. I'm still going to give it more time, I'm willing to be wrong, but for now I can't help but feel disappointed.

Multiplayer First - James Lara - 9.5 / 10

While I know it's not the perfect game, and certainly not one for everyone, I do know that it'll be a title that I'll find myself returning to year after year until Dragon's Dogma 3 is made. Let's hope that's not another 12 years, but if it is, at least we'll have a sequel to keep us busy for the years to come. Dragon's Dogma 2 is an instant classic, the ultimate RPG adventure that fans have been dreaming about, making that long wait well worth it.

Nexus Hub - Sam Aberdeen - 9.5 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 makes bold creative decisions that pay off big time - highly ambitious, demanding and rewarding in equal measure, it's the kind of masterful action-RPG that rewrites the rule books.

PC Gamer - Fraser Brown - 89 / 100

A magnificent adventure with impressive fights and some very rough edges.

PCGamesN - Nat Smith - 7 / 10

For better and for worse, Dragon's Dogma 2 is a faithful reimagining of Hideaki Itsuno's flawed yet ambitious action-RPG. Those who rise to the challenge of meeting it on its own terms are suitably rewarded, but a deluge of trash mobs, restrictive fast travel, and endemic hardware issues will be a dealbreaker for many.

PSX Brasil - Portuguese - 90 / 100

PlayStation Universe - Garri Bagdasarov - 9.5 / 10

A fantasy adventure for the ages. Dragon's Dogma 2 takes everything that made the first game good and expands on it in everyway. The combat is visceral and engaging l. With a massive world to explore you can loose yourself for days exploring and battling all your favorite fantasy monstrosities. Dragon's Dogma 2 is an incredible adventure no one should miss.

Press Start - James Mitchell - 9 / 10

Dragon's Dogma II embodies the essence of what the original should have been. With its expansive open world teeming with dangerous but delightful encounters, enjoyable combat, and versatile vocations, it's an enchanting experience from beginning to end.

Push Square - Robert Ramsey - Unscored

Dragon's Dogma 2 is an absolute masterpiece in terms of offering a true sense of adventure.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Ed Thorn - Unscored

A grand action RPG adventure where you'll make travel plans and have them disrupted by a vengeful griffin whose wing you'd whacked two hours earlier.

SECTOR.sk - Branislav Kohút - Slovak - 8 / 10

Arisen is back with a unique escort. The continuation of the interesting RPG once again relied on intelligent companions who stand by your side. And they are still great. However, some other aspects of the game could have been better.

Spaziogames - Gianluca Arena - Italian - 8.3 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a rare beast, and one we would gladly save from extinction, thanks to its unparalleled sense of freedom and discovery and fast paced combat system. It's a courageous game too, with divisive game design that not every player will appreciate. But believe us when we say the travel is well worth it.

TechRaptor - Erren Van Duine - 8.5 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 features a rich world filled with plenty of old-school RPG stylings that remain a fun adventure despite some technical difficulties.

TheSixthAxis - Jason Coles - 10 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a triumph of a game that wants you to just take your time and see everything you possibly can. You'll be constantly pulled from your path by a new cave, a random quest, a chest one of your Pawns has found, random fights, and it's all part of the experience. I adore this game, and while it has some aspects I think some will find too clunky, it's a masterpiece.

Tom's Hardware Italia - Andrea Riviera - Italian - 8 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is an experience that entertained and engaged us, perhaps one of the most original and satisfying RPGs you will play this year. However, the differences from the first episode are really minimal and the reduced fluidity on consoles disappointed us a bit. However, it should be specified that this is primarily designed to bring in a large number of new players.

Try Hard Guides - Erik Hodges - 9 / 10

Though PC players may face some optimization issues, Dragon's Dogma 2 impresses with stellar monster-slaying action, incredible immersion, and satisfying adventures with NPCs you can't help but call your friends. You're sure to get sucked into the world with an incredible character of your own making as you claim your throne and face off against the intimidating beasts of Dragon's Dogma 2.

Twisted Voxel - Salal Awan - 9.5 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is an impressive sequel to the cult classic game. It features an ambitious open-world and a more engaging storyline that combines nostalgia with innovation. Although the game has a few design quirks and occasional performance issues, especially on PC, it compensates with a rich narrative, an expansive world, and an engaging combat system. Players who are willing to dive deep into its universe will find it a rewarding experience. While it does not redefine the action RPG genre, it successfully captures the essence of adventure and exploration, making it appealing to both veteran and newcomer players.

VG247 - Alex Donaldson - 5 / 5

Dragon's Dogma 2 is wickedly clever, tightly designed, self-aware in all the right ways, and refreshingly unconcerned with whatever the latest trends are.

Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus - 9 / 10

Dragon's Dogma II doesn't feel like anything else on the market. Despite fantasy action-RPG being one of the most common genres, Dragon's Dogma II manages to stand out from the crowd. The unusual atmosphere, excellent combat, and general sense of place and weight make it feel distinct in a world full of Soulslikes or Skyrim clones. It's a boatload of fun to play, and it manages to make what could be a tiring genre feel fresh and full of life. If you're looking to hunt some monsters and cast some spells, Dragon's Dogma II is easily one of the best titles on the market.

XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 9 / 10

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a fantastic video game. It improves on every facet of the first title. An excellent main quest is paired with Capcom's best English VO and some incredible emergent combat. It's fully approachable if you've never given the first one a go, and any Action RPG fan owes it to themselves to learn just what the Dragon's Dogma truly is.

[Zeta Dragoon]

OT is in finishing stages.

Holy shit what a monstrous release slate for JRPGs not only going back last year with jewels like Octopath Traveler II but just the first few months of 2024 has been a murderers row of megaton JRPGs, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Persona 3 Reload, Unicorn Overlord, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, now Dragon's Dogma II with still pretty some promising RPGs upcoming (Shadow of the Erdtree, Refantasy, SMT V/Vengeance, 100 Heroes, Visions of Mana, Fantasy Life I) more slated.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

 

[Hinedorf]

Wow shocked by the ratings.....the original Dragons Dogma just seemed so awful of a game from control to story I just can't seem to get interested in this. Visuals are really impressive and the combat looks very snappy.

I made my pick between this and Unicorn Overlord but I'm interested in what everybody playing has to say. Looks like an Xmas/Steam discount game buy for me.

 

[Hostile_18]

Finally looking forward to getting stuck into this open world RPG this week! Day 1 purchase.

Capcom Is 'Aware' of Dragon's Dogma 2 Frame Rate Issues on PC, Looking Into Fixes - IGN

In a statement to IGN, Capcom acknowledged possible frame rate issues with Dragon's Dogma 2 on PC, saying they may be linked to the heavy amount of CPU demanded from NPCs in the game.

www.ign.com

Responding to a query about frame rate problems from IGN, Capcom said in a statement that performance issues on PC may be linked to the heavy amount of CPU demanded from NPCs in the game.

"In Dragon's Dogma 2, a large amount of CPU usage is allocated to each character and dynamically calculates the impact of their physical presence in various environments. In certain situations where numerous characters appear simultaneously, the CPU usage can be very high and may affect the frame rate," a Capcom representative told IGN. "We are aware that in such situations, settings that reduce GPU load may currently have a limited effect; however, we are looking into ways to improve performance in the future."

My new cpu laughs…

[regawdless]

My tech thoughts:

Yeah my old 8700k would've died trying to deal with this game. Even delid and OC'd to 5ghz.

My current 13600k should fare better, but it seems like the city stutter happens on all CPUs to varying degrees. Let's see how big the tech shit show will be. It was fully expected, I just hope they'll be able to fix the most glaring issues.

But Asian devs don't have great track records fixing tech messes, so who knows.

Still incredibly excited! Game looks way better on PC judging by the footage, foliage in particular looks way more detailed. But it causes more flickery shadows from what I've seen, hopefully we'll be able to increase shadow quality with mods and tweaks. Seems like it'll run above 60fps maxed on my 3440x1440 screen with my 3080 using DLSS, so that's good news.

Only having screen space reflections is a bummer, they look shitty. Lighting looks natural and good in most cases, I like. Can't wait to use the photo mode even though it'll be bad, I just know it. Was already bad in the first one so again - mods halping.

 

[Perc Angle]

Now the decision. To get it on a laptop with a 4070 or PS5? I don't know.

Depends on the CPU, which one would be in the laptop?

Intel core i 7 with 16gb of memory. 1080 res.

 

[regawdless]

Intel core i 7 with 16gb of memory. 1080 res.

Do you know what CPU model is in there? I think that'll make the biggest difference although a 4070 with DLSS will offer way superior visuals compared to consoles either way.

 

[regawdless]

This game is awesome

 

[Hinedorf]

Decided to grind through Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen prior to this or at least give it a worthwhile play through. OG Game has such an arcade feel which I don't really like curious how the sequel compares

 

[regawdless]

The biggest difference I've seen from consoles to PC outside of the obvious fps, was image quality which is way better on PC especially with DLSS, and vegetation quality.

If that's the biggest difference I think the consoles will be just fine

 

[regawdless]

If that's the biggest difference I think the consoles will be just fine

Of course consoles are fine, still a great game with good visuals.

But the PC version, at least from what I've seen in shitty YouTube videos, has some significant advantages. It's clearly the best option if you have somewhat competent hardware.

- foliage and vegetation look way better, everything is significantly more detailed, grass, trees, bushes. You see it all the time because the game is full of foliage and vegetation. On consoles, it looks very muddy and undefined, even the grass looks visibly worse.

- with a somewhat good PC with an Nvidia GPU you can easily double the frame rate while having better visuals, you can also lock the fps on PC.

- DLSS offers significantly cleaner image quality compared to what we're seeing on consoles.

- unlocked frame rate between 23 and 40 or so fps on consoles doesn't feel great, the game often drops below 30fps during combat. Especially on PS5, the game doesn't reach the VRR window so it feels extra inconsistent.

- better draw distance and LoD, slightly better lighting are nice but not really huge from what I've seen.

So I'd say overall, it's pretty significant all things considered.

Can it run Crysis?
Can it run Witcher 2?
Can it run Witcher 3?
Can it run Red Dead Redemption II?
Can it run Dragons Dogma II?

My current PC would melt, so no and a lot of reviews are saying even higher end PCs are having issues running it. Any future potential PC will be built with Dragons Dogma II as a benchmark. Just hoping the game is still a blast on PS5.

PCs only have issues in the large cities, where the badly optimized code abuses any CPU, bringing the fps to the 30s occasionally. Which isn't great at all, but still way better than consoles that frequently drop into the mid 20s during combat. And keep in mind the visual upgrade on competent PCs is substantial.

Game is still a blast on consoles if you don't mind some cinematic slow motion during combat.

Really hope Capcom will have a patch available to fix all the performance issues by the time I buy this game.

 

[DonDonDonPata]

I think, given the popularity of Elden Ring, this game could really blow up in a way that the first one never could. To the average normie, DD plays like a healthy mix of Dark Souls and Skyrim, with a combat system that is better than both. CAPCOM was surprised by Monster Hunter World's reception and popularity. Hopefully the gaming community can surprise them again by turning DD2 into a mega hit.

 

[JORMBO]

 

[Hinedorf]

I'm glad I took the time to get into the original Dragons Dogma. My first time it felt so janky I quit early on but am starting to enjoy it more like a DMC game and less like an RPG.

The Before you buy video sold me though. The idea you have to explore/walk around sans waypoints teleporting is one of the most appealing things to me, I'd be a day 1 buyer but I'm going to finish Dragons Dogma within a few days before I start it.

I've already accepted even though my PC is way above spec I'm going to play this completely on the lowest graphical settings for the best performance and increase visuals if it's even necessary. Game looks tits as is so I can't imagine how it's going to run on consoles compared to my PC I'm just not looking to add a space heater to my room.

Not really no, I think the laptop 4070 only has 8 gig of vram which will hurt in a game like this espcially with a horrible pc optimisation. I wouldnt play this on a laptop personally

Ive got a 6800xt, 5600x cpu and 32gb of ram and I'm going ps5 for this one. Capcom already mentionning they're still working on pc optimisation so uh-uh, red flag. Also the video posted by @Kreese in this thread conviced me that console is the way to go for this one

You definitely need a good CPU and fast RAM for this game, otherwise you get.... Console level performance.

We already have benchmarks and reviews of all versions, there aren't any PC specific issues. The game in general has bad CPU optimization on all platforms, performance dips hard in the cities regardless of hardware. Only difference being consoles frequently dip into the mid 20s during combat while it doesn't do that on a somewhat competent PCs. I think with your PC, PS5 might be the better choice, especially if DLSS is off the table.

The optimisation on pc is worst, 30 fps on a 4080 with DLSS in 2160p is a joke. Cowboy's review also mentionned this, he could brute force it since he's on a 4090 but the actual optimisation is shit.

You've just nailed it, with 'my pc', with a 6800xt, I shouldnt even have to wonder which version should be better. This is terrible.
