Dragon’s Dogma 2: A Hilarious and Heart-Stopping Adventure
3 hours with 'Dragon's Dogma 2' reveals a challenging yet highly enjoyable upcoming RPG from Capcom.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 will kick your butt, regardless of your experience level.
🎮🐉 Get ready for Dragon’s Dogma 2, the fantasy-inspired installment of 1000 Ways to Die! I had the opportunity to attend a hands-on preview of Capcom’s forthcoming action game, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride of epic proportions. 🤯 Hold on tight as I take you through an adventure filled with dangerous creatures, treacherous terrain, and hilarious deaths!
The Rise of Dragon’s Dogma
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the sequel (or perhaps a reboot) to the cult classic Dragon’s Dogma. This action RPG gained a devoted following over the years, despite its initial release going largely unnoticed. Its unconventional blend of third-person combat and fantasy elements struck a chord with gamers, making it a hit in the post-Skyrim era. Even if you haven’t played the original, fear not! Dragon’s Dogma 2 stands on its own while still captivating fans of the series. 😎
Death Around Every Corner
Prepare for an onslaught of deaths that will make you question your decision-making abilities. During my gameplay, I experienced an endless parade of calamities. 🦅 One moment, a giant eagle swooped down, snatched me up, and threw me off a cliff into the waiting ocean. And to add insult to injury, the water devoured me like an underwater devouring thing! But that was just the beginning. I was also stepped on by a dragon, electrocuted by a griffin, frozen solid by a harpy, and even pummeled by a gang of club-wielding orcs. 🐲🔥⚡
The Gate That Brought Me to My Knees
As I delved deeper into the game, I encountered a seemingly insurmountable obstacle: a gate. This gate, my friends, became my nemesis. It thwarted my progress and humbled me. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t find a way through. I explored nearby villages, got sidetracked by NPCs with their own quests, and found myself drowning in distractions. It was a comedic tragedy of epic proportions. 🚧
Thrilling Vocations and Perilous Quests
Dragon’s Dogma 2 offers a variety of vocations (or classes) to choose from, each with its unique style and abilities. In my first session, I played as the Mystic Spearhand, a deadly warrior armed with a spear and powerful spells. The second session allowed me to take on the role of a Magick Archer, a nimble and agile marksman armed with a bow and a slew of magical abilities. The differences between these vocations were staggering, showcasing the game’s depth and diversity. 🏹🔮

The Infamous Pawn System
One of the standout features of Dragon’s Dogma 2 is its vaunted pawn system. These fully customizable AI companions provide invaluable support in battle. You can recruit pawns generated by other players, and they can recruit yours, fostering a sense of community within the game. Need help with a particularly vexing challenge? Recruit a pawn from a player who has already conquered it, and they’ll provide hints and guidance. It’s like having a team of experts at your disposal! 🤝💪
A World Full of Surprises
Dragon’s Dogma 2 doesn’t just offer thrilling combat, but also a dynamic world filled with surprises. Be wary of the water, my friends, for it houses something called “The Brine” – a ghastly cluster of Lovecraftian tendrils that will consume you if you dare to swim. This posed quite the challenge as I traversed the expansive map. Fast travel between cities is the only escape, but it comes at a cost. And with no mounts available in the preview build, I found myself in quite the predicament. 🌊🏞️
Unraveling the Mystery on March 22
After spending three hours lost and dying repeatedly, I can confidently say that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an absolute riot. Its emergent gameplay, where mistakes are made and deaths are had, delivers an experience you won’t soon forget. And thanks to its ragdoll physics system, each demise is comically entertaining 😂. So mark your calendars – Dragon’s Dogma 2 is set to release on March 22 for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. Get ready to embark on an adventure that will both delight and challenge you!
