Utterly awesome
Dragon's Dogma is basically a Japanese attempt at modern western-style sandbox RPGs. In some ways it's quite quirky but in others it is just amazing and it is simply sad that so many years since its release developers still haven't really learned form this game. Dragon's Dogma offers a pretty large, albeit rather generic fantasy world which is threatened by a dragon. In terms of quests and characters the game has very little going for it. Most quests are just simple "get x" or "kill y" stuff. And pretty much all characters are underdeveloped which is quite painful because some of them showed promise. HOWEVER, where the game really shines are the combat, character customisation and loot. First off: we got two characters that we can fully customise and whose classes and active abilities and passive bonuses we can always change. The extra character is an AI-controlled pawn who can be hired by other players and likewise we can always hire up to two pawns of other players, so we're pretty much always on an epic quest with a band of unique companions. The pawns may not be interesting characters but they prove great allies during combat. Most importantly, however, the combat itself is some of the best in the genre. Fighting gangs of goblins, bandits or the undead is fun enough but fighting the massive boss monsters like cyclopes, griffins and dragons is one of the best gaming experiences one can have. It's Shadow of the Colossus on steroids, with you and your pawns tackling these massive beasts together, climbing them to stab them in their weak spots while archers and mages provide support from a distance or cast devastating spells, and all of this while epic orchestral themes make you feel like the ultimate badass hero. And finally there's a crapload of unique items which are just fun to collect and upgrade and allow you to give your characters a really unique appearance. Anyone interested in a more exciting action-oriented take on the genre has to give this game a try.
