Today's retrospective looks back on Dragon's Dogma
When taken at face value, the review scores and Metacritic reception for Dragon's Dogma look extremely positive. Considering the never-ending discourse surrounding reviewer vs player scores, Dragon's Dogma seems like a strange anomaly. It's a game that everyone agrees is a solid 8 out of 10.
Originally released in 2012, Dragon's Dogma immediately drew praise for its satisfying and brisk hack and slash gameplay, as well as its surprisingly deep AI-driven"pawn" system. The opening story tasks players with, quite literally, stealing back their own heart from a Shakespearean dragon - a cool premise that unfortunately gives way to a somewhat forgettable, bloated plot until the plot eventually ramps back up towards the conclusion.
Whilst Dragon's Dogma offers some guidance in the form of a main questline to follow, after reaching Gran Soren it's more than happy to let you explore Gransys in its entirety - at which point you will discover that the open world is mostly barren, save from some very difficult enemy encounters. This might sound like standard fare for some RPGs, but the difference here lies in exactly how much of your time Dragon's Dogma is comfortable wasting.
