Really great for the first 10 - 20 hours, or so. Could have been a masterpiece, but fell short. Gets boring fast. Switching classes keeps it going awhile. Climbing monsters is fantastic at first. Pawns are a huge success. Being able to share with friends is a hit. Here is where the game fails......The loot system is garbage and unrewarding. Grinding hours for weapons and armor that only slightly increase stats is unrewarding. Of course if the loot was better, the game would be too easy. You will quite early have piles of gold and nothing to spend it on. The story is bland. The enemy variety are repetitive, and only a nuisance while trying to complete quests that are outdated garbage. RPG's are meant to immerse the player in the world and the avatar. This completely misses the mark. Dragons Dogma has a recipe to create one of the best RPG's ever but falls short in far too many ways. Still worth a play with it's low price tag but consider it's age as not to expect too much.
