But this…

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is capital-i Important. That’s how good it is.

Hideaki Itsuno is a man with a vision and years of commitment to that vision. Dragon’s Dogma 1 & 2 are truly fascinating creations—the deeper you dig, the more interesting they become.

MQ is ass and you can see the cut corners all over the place, BUT it's so unique and satisfying and that 'true' ending/post-game is the boldest thing a triple-A studio has pulled in quite some time.

It is the very, very rare project that doesn’t build on a genre by just adding more Stuff

It meaningfully, deliberately considers how game loops and the player’s base-level interaction with a world gets to change what a game can say and *be*

FUCK this game is so good
FUCK

It was blowing my mind when I was looking up sidequests that I’d missed and found a bunch that are never pointed out to you at ALL, and only trigger if you do really specific things like shop at a certain store or give food to an orphan that never comes up to you

Some had endings that didn’t feel right and it turns out I totally fucked them up and the game just let me miss out on resolving some side stories. The GUTS to let that happen, I love it

I absolutely love love love DD2. Big fan of DDDA for what it pioneered but DD2 is just a dream of a game that is so focused on what it sets out to deliver to players. So relentless in its design choices ❤️
