it sucks

Just go play dragons dogma dark arisen. Same game for like 10-30$. Little to no inovation added to this game. Did some work on the pawns which is nice, but they still repeat them selves with 1 -3 lazy lines. Gameplay is about all thats good going on. That gets stale quickly. Travel is ironically worse than in most games. I find it tedious and annoying, contrary to what the developer would have you believe. Theres like 20 enemies in the game re hashed across the entirety of it. Listen the game is Decent on its own, but entirely spoiled knowing that they basically copy pasted the first game with nothing new. Also why add oxcarts if they just get destroyed halfway everytime anyway, the moment you start a fight an ogre or w/e just destroys it. Then youre left sprinting and then walking sprinting then walking. Why, because they couldnt bother to fix one of the few things people complained about in the first game. Out of combat sprint bar not depleting. All i can say is dont play this. Go play the first one. Same game worse graphics better price point. Dragons dogma dark arisen 8/10. Dragons dogma 2 6/10 because they changed nothing but the price.

Fantastic game. Definitely buy this and try it before D2 since thats 70$

Broken and buggy mess that i currently find unplayable. Need to stop producing new content and focus on making it playable. Its a shame, its a great game ruined by being unplayable. The more they add the more broken it becomes.

Missing a lot here, Melee is pointless, definitely needs more classes and guns. Could benefit from some melee classes. Youve basically seen everything in 1 run. There is a lot that's good, but to much thats missing. I cant recomend it the way it is now for its current price tag its worth about 15$, given some time to cook and add more in i could say it would be worth about 30$.

turned my favorite characters, into a woke boring game with lack luster jokes

The game is awesome. All the same stuff from remnant from the ashes and a bit more. Still suffers from having too few worlds and too few enemies though. More basic enemy variations for each area would be a great addition. Like instead of 4 or 5 types adding like 3 more different enemy types that aren't elites could really change things up. Adding Whole new biomes is neccesary. Seeing the same 3 areas over and over gets stale really quick. I would pay significat money for an expansion that brought like a snow area or something along those lines. Minion AI needs alot of work. More than half the time in boss fights they just sit there doing nothing. HOWEVER, the game is still one of my games of the year right behind BG3!

Gets good at 40 hrs. Just grind till then and you're good. Not really, game has terrible bugs. Literally cant progress the crimson story on the last mission because Delgado wont talk to me. Been a bug for like 4 months, so i couldn't play if i wanted to. Exploration is boring, nothing on any planets, same loot everywhere, story is meh. Its an average game. Just go replay skyrim instead modders are already giving up on this one.

2 Negatives. They dint try at all when it comes to naval combat. Feels like the other AoW games. UNIT uniqueness definitely got sacrificed along the way. Most units are just advanced versions of the same unit. Game is pretty good otherwise. 8/10

Im sure there is an audience for this, but this is basically a souls mixed into armored core. Boss fights are nice but i dont like souls experience. Call it what you will. I dont like the die to a boss 40 times till you figure it out gameplay loop. Armored core was never about this and this should of just been called something else. Im sure its a great game and will do great. However it is a let down and i cant enjoy the game due to the insertion of the souls like boss experience. If you like grueling difficult boss battles this is for you. If you JUST wanted the old armored core style games. Check out some reviews and gameplay before you purchase it. Its not how it used to be.
