Great mechanics... Still flawed
This game has among the most cohesive and liberating combat mechanics in any video game. It combined ideas from dozens of genres and games and created an extremely fun, fast, and ingenious combat system. You can choose which moves and attacks to bind to different buttons and thus create a personalized scheme. Each move changes the way you play by forcing you to be strategic and by giving you valuable tools that you can use in several different ways. The game world itself is also quite impressive. Although it’s a little empty by todays standards, the size of the environments and the detail in the assets still hold up. The monsters that inhabit the world are superb, having complex AI systems and detailed models. However, this game isn’t without flaws. I found it a little frustrating when mid-way through the beginning of the game I failed an important quest. While reading the wiki I discovered that certain quests need to be completed in order, however these 2 quests seemed completely unrelated, and the game never warned you that that could happen. Its character development is practically non-existent. Your companions (pawns) are so bland that the lore within the game literally strips them of their humanity. Even so, their knowledge system is quite interesting and can be useful at times. Also, the pawn system is quite broken on GOG, though I still decided to buy it here since it's drm free. Having a balanced party is very important and can easily change the course of a battle. However, combat strategy is quite lacking, and the available commands are quite superficial and not very useful for most situations. I hope that the rumors for Dragons Dogma 2 are true, and I will be buying it day 1 if the reviews show a worthy successor.
