There is a lot to criticize about Dragon’s Dogma 2. At the same time, parts of the community are currently celebrating Capcom’s RPG in countless posts on Reddit and Twitter. We will tell you why many players are so enthusiastic.
What do the bare numbers say about the quality of Dragon’s Dogma 2? Capcom’s current RPG receives mixed reviews from players on all platforms. On Steam, there are currently only 53 percent positive reviews, but that is still just enough for a “Mixed” rating.
On Metacritic, the user score fluctuates between a disastrous 3.2 (PC) and a mediocre 6.1 (Xbox). The current major points of criticism revolve around the game’s performance, the limitation of save files, the copy protection software Denuvo, and the late announcement of paid DLCs.
The good news: The first improvements are expected soon.
