Let me continue the theme from ourround-up of Steam sale reccs for under a tenner, while exchanging the concept of money for the concept of time: what can you do in celebrated open world"anecdote generator"Dragon’s Dogma 2in two hours or less? Two hours being the length of the free Dragon’s Dogma 2 trial that is now live on Steam. For context, this is approximately how much time Capcom gave me to preview their latest action-RPG, many headline cycles ago. During that brief window, I managed to becomethe worst wizard in Dragon’s Dogma 2, but I know you can go further. I’m so confident of this, in fact, that I’m going to start feeling all insecure and hurt in anticipation. How could you trample on my feelings so?
We like ourselves a Dogmatic Dragon round these parts, but the game has a Mixed rating on Steam for reasons ranging from performance through complaints about an empty world and underwhelming story to the game’s design just being a bit chaotic. One of the bigger contention-bones back at launch was the spread ofdragonsplague, a Pawn ailment spread via online interactions, which could lead to major story characters getting murdered (you’re highly unlikely to experience this in the opening two hours). I’m interested to know what the RPS commentariat thinks of the game in hindsight.
