I'm thinking this might be one of the best reviews. Gives it a 8.8.

As a stoic and nuanced action rpg, Dragons Dogma 2 is the kind of game you must approach armed with determination and patience. This is by now very familiar to me, as I very much enjoy discovery and exploration of both world and mechanics. I am no stranger to obscure quest objectives, disappearing NPCs and uncertain checkpoints, but if you are looking for a straight forward and guided experience, this is not the game for you.

Having completed and loved the first game, I thought I was well prepared for whatever challenge the new mechanics may give me. What I was not prepared for was the fact that the world is so large, that a simple mistake or a small npc bug would mean my second hour of the game would be spent tediously running a very long way to a large town because the intended oxcart was lost to a bug. You may remember my humorous story about Jim from the beware pre-launch video? Well, it was that all over again in that I was very ill-prepared for such a long journey, already feeling the stamina exhaustion of all my stocked curatives, and of course it became nighttime and was promptly besieged by armies of skeletons that I was in no way of appropriate level to tackle.
