It’s taken 12 years, but Dragon’s Dogma 2 is finally swooping onto store shelves this week, and judging by the early review scores, the wait has been worth it.
The first Dragon’s Dogma took players on a thrilling adventure to an epic fantasy world filled with intriguing characters and fearsome creatures. The sequel aims to offer the same immersive experience and engaging battles that made the series such a hit with RPG fans over a decade ago but in a vastly bigger world that offers more freedom in both combat and exploration.
