When you think of adventure in video games — the immersion that comes with exploring unknown lands and locations — there are plenty of open world games that fit the bill. But we'd argue that very few of those games nail that sense of journey and subsequent discovery quite like Dragon's Dogma 2.
This sequel was a long time coming, and truth be told, Capcom didn't mess with the existing Dragon's Dogma formula all that much. As such, the follow-up retains the unique strangeness that made the first game so memorable, but a much bigger map and more dynamic combat go a long way in making Dragon's Dogma 2 feel like an evolution.
Now, don't get us wrong, Dragon's Dogma 2 has flaws — and some of them are abundantly obvious, like its stunted storytelling and wooden characters — but it's still a fantasy that you can get lost in for hours upon hours, as you traverse its treacherous roads and dungeons.
