TL;DR: This game is the fucking bomb if you like fantasy action adventures.
I haven’t played 2 yet on account of the mtx issues, but Dragons Dogma 1 is the fucking bomb. The story is vague in a Dark Souls/Elden Ring kind of way. Things happen and fancy words are thrown around for the mystique, but overall it’s fantastic. Dragon steals your heart (literally out of your chest with a single claw) and you go on a journey to regain it.
It has a pseudo-multi-player in the sense that: every player gets a ‘pawn,’ an extradimensional human-like follower. Players can borrow each other’s pawns, and pawns build a repository of quest knowledge based on the quests they’ve completed, home-game or borrowed. With that, they can offer assistance like helping some puzzles or pointing out enemy weak points.
It’s much more action oriented than a Soulslike, as it’s got a touch of anime theme. You can sprint into an attack, you can grab enemies, throw small ones, grapple human-sized, and literally climb large creatures. Climbing up a cyclops to stab the eye, holding onto a griffin that’s trying to fly away, throwing goblins at each other, it’s all there.















Here, you dropped this.
