Set in a huge open world, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen presents a rewarding action combat experience.

Pawns can also be borrowed when specific skills are needed to complete various challenging quests.

81/100
The PC port doesn't introduce much new and certain elements could be stronger, but Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen still shines as a uniquely enjoyable RPG.

9/10
Character customization, combat, and the weird story and brilliant end-game all make this one of my favorite action-RPG's of all time. Meanwhile, the Dark Arisen changes make the game somewhat more traversable and streamlined, turning a fun but frustrating game into something far more enjoyable. There's nothing really new here, but it's great to finally have the game on PC.

8/10
If anything, Dark Arisen reminds me just how much I missed my time with Dragon's Dogma, and how I'd love to see another one in the works. Here's hoping Gransys has more adventures for us in future!

Something less often mentioned..
Something about Dragon's Dogma that I don't see mentioned often, is the Atmosphere of the game, or the feeling you get when playing. When entering new places, the game can give a feeling that you possibly just walked into somewhere dangerous. It's hard to explain without spoiling, but certain places I still have fun at even though I've played the game for a long time. For me, the feeling of adventuring in places still comes even when going somewhere I've already been, and I hope it will for you as well. Just try it out for yourself!

Pretty Good 2013 game.
Several unique monsters, open world, dungeons, different stuff at night and day, a unique pawn system, character customization, a few different classes, 9/10, unlucky it's a 5 stars rating system. keyboard/mouse control is not very efficient. I recommand using a xbox controller. The bad things are PC port and graphics, although the graphics are not as terrible as some people say.

Wasting time irresponsibly
TL;DR: avoid if you don't like having your time wasted. This game will try it at every opportunity. Despite having an epic premise and a strong start, this game is unfortunately designed to drip-feed you with decent gameplay, while most of the time you'll find yourself wondering why you keep sinking hours into it despite little progress. Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is not even an RPG in a typical sense. Yes, we have a character progression, an NPC-based party system (called Pawns), a good dose of satisfying hack'n'slash-style combat, a vast open world of epic proportions, and a quest to beat the titular dragon. However, just a few hours in, it becomes obvious that the character progression makes little difference to your abilities, the combat is repetitive and clunky, and the open world is mostly empty with repetitive encounters made to fill the void of having to travel on foot everywhere, because THERE IS NO FAST TRAVEL (in a traditional sense) in this game. While there's plenty of interesting features and mechanics (climbing on top of big monsters just to bash them on the head with your sword is really cool), the game is vastly shallow and uninspiring. Majority of your quests are typical "escort a person to location Z" or "kill X amount of Y monsters in location Z", and despite having a decent main quest line you cannot even remotely compare this to the intricate writing of The Witcher 3. Nothing you do seem to have a bigger than a cosmetic impact on the world, which is just there so you could fight and level up, then fight some more. All in all, I'm torn because I wanted to like this game very much for some of its great features, a really nice and varied open world and the prospect of being immersed in it. Sadly, the game left me feeling like I'm wasting my time with little return on that investment. Verdict: AVOID
