Dragons Dogma is by far one of my favorite RPG's of all time, it is the child of several top tier Japanese game designers working together to try and make a Western action RPG. With the brains from such series as Resident Evil and Devil May Cry this game has action in spades, playing sort of like Monster Hunter if Monster Hunter was less focused on gear and more on being a BAMF. At the start of the game giant enemies will crush you, you will stumble onto higher leveled areas where you can not survive, but by the end you will be taking down giant beast with a smirk on your face. The ability to climb up and strike at monster unique weakspots, attempting to break parts of them as you learn their strengths, weaknesses and attack patterns is addictive. Every blow has weight behind it and some of the high tier damage spells are amazing! The pawn system thought simple is ingenious, your main pawn is created by you but can be hired online as you might hire others pawns, while traveling with others your pawn will learn. Maybe they will learn the ins and out a quest you haven't done yet and can guide you, or even see a strategy for an enemy that they will call out in the thick of battle against said creature to teach you. No game however is perfect and Dragons Dogma two biggest weakness is it's story which does do some twist on RPG cliches but its forgettable, confusing at parts and muddled in others. The second issue as this game was rushed out before everything they wanted to put in could be built, a good portion of the side quest board quest are annoying escort missions (made much simpler by a placeable fast travel item that you get several of in one playthrough and can carry them over to NG+). Dragons Dogma is a game that I love deeply, and always find myself going back to, either here on steam, on 360 or even Playstation4 if you have not played this game before you are missing an action filled experience!
