A good, old-style Gothic-like RPG that’s worth giving a shot and definitely worth your money, whether at full price or on discount.

Dragon's Dogma 2 disappoints in several crucial aspects. The narrative lacks inspiration, depth, and brevity, failing to captivate anyone with more than two brain cells. Navigating the world becomes a tedious chore, with repetitive cave exploration offering minimal variety or reward. Encounters (98%) primarily consist of mundane foes such as goblins, brigands, and tiresome wolves and harpies, resulting in a repetitive and lackluster gameplay experience. Vocations feel uninspired and restrictive, lacking engaging abilities despite maxing them out. The gear system feels pointless as every monster scales with the character's level, diminishing the satisfaction of acquiring new equipment. Side quests provide little respite, further highlighting the lack of depth in the main storyline. Moreover, the absence of real challenges and hard elite enemy encounters makes the game feel devoid of excitement. Boss encounters, if they can even be called such, are disappointingly easy. Additionally, the game runs like hot garbage on PC.

Have a nice day :3

Oh, where do I start? I've been playing on the tactician difficulty(on multiple playthroughs). I'm currently at the end of Chapter 2, and I'm diligently completing every bit of content I can find. I need to say it... this game is hopelessly linear, and the story is just boring.... It often boils down to going somewhere and killing bad guys or being a bad guy and killing good guys. The characters are so dull, and their stories are purely written and presented. They don't really interact with you apart wanting to engage in romantic/sexual encounters or occasionally, they talk about what's going on around you or discuss quests. The choices in the game don't seem to have any meaningful impact other than changing some outcomes of latter quests or game ending.... Abilities and character builds are dull and lackluster(spells look cool tho). Worst of all, this game is plagued with numerous bugs, ranging from disappearing characters in cutscenes to many bugged quests and interactable objects that simply don't work. Combat is just frustrating, and you'll save scum constantly because you'll miss your attacks about 80% of the time when facing overwhelming enemy groups. This game isn't difficult to play, it's just frustrating due to the implementation of a seemingly unpredictable 'RNG', and you can't do anything about it apart from just reloading. Ahhh yesss.... every ability check is plagued by the same frustrating dice roll mechanics that can lock you out from achieving your desired outcome (whether it's dialogue options or even discovering a hidden stash) for the rest of the game, boringly forcing you to save scum.

Do yourself a favor and wait for a year or two for patches and a nice discount. Or, if you are bored out of your mind, you can buy it and might still have some fun, but it's far from being a very good game.

Great potential for a F2P game

Challenging game with great potential. I strongly recommend to give it a go ;)
