Dragons Dogma 2 PS5 Review.
After placing a couple of hours into Dragons Dogma 2. I've found the critique upon it as very... ignorant. Considering that this product only fixes upon that which Dark Arisen had failed to succeed in? (regarding the development crisis it was in).
Vocations | Class System —
Still, Dragons Dogma 2 places a requirement upon strategic thinking, it requires you not to rush into battles mindlessly. Depending on the vocations that's played, you engage differently. For example, flying mobs you'd utilise the thunder of a mage to strike your enemies down. Similarly if you're an archer. Whilst those who focus on close quarter combat would wait for the perfect chance, holding out their shield at the perfect time and striking. All of these vocations are different and not one is the same and I'd guarantee that with the 4 base vocations (which is the DD2/DA terminology for classes) you can definitely find one that fits you.
As someone who picked up Dark Arisen (DD1) so that I could get back into the world of DD before DD2's release. I knew exactly how to play
Graphics | Setting —
The world of dragons dogma is beautiful, genuinely and I can now see why Capcom have argued that consoles will be able to run it at a "stable 30 fps", The ambient music whilst running through a glade, the hum of string instruments whilst you take in the scenery is unlike any other. In addition to this, the clank of your metal weapons and the sound of your chain armor in this breath-taking is more than immersive. In a way, Capcom brings back that medieval atmosphere. I'd even go in so far as to argue this compensation for 30 fps is more than worth it. In fact, frame rate drops are rarely noticed due to the fact that there isn't an alternative for a 60 fps setting. It's only when you arrive to npc heavy areas such as towns that this occurs.
Stamina and Health System —
Initally, Stamina Conservation is Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen was TEDIOUS and they implicity place an emphasis on having to stock up on items such as Harspuds which reach regens some of your Stamina whilst other items regen some of your health. In dragons Dogma 2 fortunately, they've revamped the Stamina bar which substantially allows you to cover wider areas of field before having to stay still to recover. With that said, Dragons Dogma 2 still maintains a heavy emphasis upon resting. This means that even with all these supplies once you've run out hope and pray that you haven't encountered something out of your league. Albeit you still need rest and recover your health and Stamina fully at a lodge.
Inventory system.
Whilst there isn't much to go on about the inventory system. Dragons Dogma 2 still utilises their carry weight system from Dragons Dogma 1 which at this point seems to be a somewhat of an necessity in the RPG world. (Immersivity, am I right?)
Microstransactions.
Many people try to make the point that is this game has microtransactions and locks you off specific game features like fast travel and appearance change. THIS IS A LIE and these claims absolutely come from people have not played the game. The fast travel system comes from something called ferrystones and they cam bought for in game gold that's given from missions that you complete. You can then use the stones to travel wherever you want. But first you must unlock that via unlocking the specific location
All-in-all. I have no qualms with capcom's take on their latest game.
