Dragons Dogma 2, where do I even begin. This is easily one of the best RPGs released in current day alongside titles similar to Elden Ring. The game-play itself is immersive and the amount of depth and sheer exploration potential is seemingly limitless. The map is huge, the pawns/followers interact and actively chat, making adventuring seem incredibly immersive and detailed. Between personalities, applications of classes and vocations, experience, you name it, all these things come greatly into play in Dragons Dogma 2. The enemies can be towering or minuscule, each posing their own challenges and rewards. The amount of side quests, areas to explore, and depth of progress along with hidden items allows for very long playtime. Renting friends' pawns and giving them gifts or experience for the future is also very fun, as is creating your own custom pawn and renting them out to others! Cheers to hoping they add a DLC as vast and intense as Dark Arisen was for Dragons Dogma original.

Regarding the micro-transactions, they are all optional items which are *very easily* found in-game, therefore they simply exist as a customer idiocy trap. Realistically i believe these shouldn't even exist, just simply bad practice, though luckily no actual powerful elements to be found here.

Regarding performance, this is probably the key factor driving many customers away currently, as the game could run so much better than it is currently. The game DOES suffer quite a lot of performance issues in terms of FPS and stability, however this can be somewhat remedied through launch settings, ingame settings, and control panel settings. Hoping for improvement so those with lesser PCs can still enjoy this amazing title in full glory as deserved.

Immersion and gameplay : 11/10
Performance and FPS: 4/10
Main story and soundtracks: Classic Dragons Dogma, 10/10
Customization and replay value: 10/10
