Masterpiece. Bought this for $5 thinking it would be a nice way to know if I would be interested in the sequel, since I haven't played many games like this before. I was hooked almost instantly. 94 hours in, and so much more of the game left to beat. There's no point in me overexplaining. This game has aged very well and plays pretty good on mouse+keyboard although it was clearly designed for controller. If you enjoy fantasy RPGs, you should experience it for yourself. Make sure to search up the dinput8.dll because that's how you'll get to play in borderless windowed mode among other benefits. While it lacks a true multiplayer component, the novel pawn system leads to dynamic combat situations in its own way. I would have really liked to be able to swap the two support pawns for a second player and their main pawn, and I hope one day there is a Dragon's Dogma game with multiplayer.

Personally, I really enjoy Dragons Dogma. The story & voice acting are downright laughable, but it is a really fun RPG.

In a way this game reminds me of a mix of Monster Hunter and Elden Ring. That said: Gameplay is the main factor here. I wanted to give it a try ever since I saw the trailer for Dragons Dogma 2. It definitely has some very unique mechanics and it was way ahead of its time - (for some games nowadays, it still is) It isn't too long either, so if you want to check out the original before heading into the second game. Go ahead! It took me 55h on hard mode with 139 deaths :cqlol: Hard mode on your first playthrough is not impossible, but.. oh boy!

A true epic game! Recommended! The game might be dated, but it doesn't mean it's bad and irrelevant. DD:DA has a good story with awesome action sequences. The storytelling is pretty straightforward and simple, but once you played it and saw through the end ( Multiple ), you'll realize that it is deeper and well thought. It is by no means one of the greatest but still good. Graphics is debatable if the game is good. But for me, it is dated. I used mods (ENBs and Hi-Res Textures) to enhance the experience, and Nvidia's built in Game Filter Feature to tweak the game's color and sharpness. As of the time of this writing, my mods still work. Gameplay is really great! The bread and butter of DD:DA is you can mount large monsters and deal damage especially weak spots. But what makes the game unique is its Pawn System. Pawns can learn from you and they can also be used to aid other players. This game is also not a requirement if you plan to play it's upcoming sequel. Have Fun!

I'm 12 years late to the party, but man what a great game. They really don't make them like they used to. I got so sick of the AAA space these past years, it's really refreshing to play a good, fun video game again. Who would have thought?
