Dragon's Dogma 2 is an action role-playing game played from a third-person perspective. In the game, the player takes on the role of a character called the "Arisen", a hero marked by a dragon whom they must defeat. The player explores the world they live in, taking on quests, and fighting monsters, while being caught up in a geopolitical conflict between two kingdoms. To assist in this, the Arisen relies on allies called "Pawns", non-playable characters who join the player's party. These characters are AI-controlled, but function like player-controlled avatars, able to assist in fights, provide information on enemies, and give guidance to currently active quests. Players can each create and customize their avatar and their own Pawn character with different genders, appearances, and race. In addition, players can recruit two additional Pawns that have been created by other players.
The good buzz around Dragon’s Dogma 2 lasted little more than a day or two, as now today, the morning of launch, the discourse has been consumed by the game’s use of microtransctions.
Though a list of microtransactions was provided to reviewers, they were not live during that process, and as such, were almost never mentioned. But now that Dragon’s Dogma 2 has gone launched to the public, players are treated to a lengthy list of extra paid content that includes things like new fast travel points or character redesigns.
The full reveal of these microtransactions has led to a flood of negative reviews from players, where they now stand at “mixed” on Steam, a contrast to the game’s 87-90 metascore between console and PC. But it’s split the playerbase more generally as to whether this is a big deal or not.
One side believes that we have seen this kind of thing many times before, both in other single player games but also even in Capcom games like Monster Hunter and Resident Evil, where those microtransactions drew fewer complaints.
The game is set in a seamless open world that is four times larger than the map in the first game, and is a parallel world to that of the previous title. The game world is split between two major kingdoms, Vermund and Battahl, populated with humans, the catlike beastrens, and elves. Fast travel is available through ferrystones and oxcarts, with Dragon's Dogma 2 allowing players to set up camps at night at campsites around the game world. Emergent events may occur in the game, forcing players to react and adapt, such as making use of destructible environments to defeat enemies, with a day–night cycle that impacts what creatures are encountered and how strong they are.
