The controls are markedly dated. That is a common complaint of newcomers. The game also doesn't hold your hand in figuring out what's going on. There's a lot you can miss if you're not paying attention. It's an old game now, but a lot of what they had was innovative for the time and honestly still is. Nobody has been able to emulate what Dragons Dogma has.

This is not a WRPG. It's definitely a JRPG that takes from western games and it's not exactly the same kind of open world it was intended to emulate. The game's rushed nature has a lot to do with that.

All that noted, what I really want to convey is that Dragons Dogma is a very unique experience that plays like an ARPG in a lot of ways, takes its gameplay cues from JRPGs and takes its story cues from western high fantasy. There is no game like it. Theres a neat lore aspect to it, and the atmosphere of the maps areas is top notch. The difficulty curve is kind of steep, but it's very satisfying once you've mastered the games quirks and start becoming more powerful. Pawn system is very cool, the indirect interactions via pawns is still charming and fun, to put it plainly.

DD also always tries to challenge you. You can grind and push through the game but you WILL run into a wall eventually.

Finally, DD is the source of some gr8 memes. I hope you join us and learn that wolves ill like fire, Arisen.
