Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:
“After over a decade since it was last given any form of new content, outside of a doomed Japanese exclusive MMO, fans of Dragon’s Dogma were still hanging onto the hope that this unique take on an action RPG set in a low-fantasy world built around an allied Pawn system and focused around the Arisen and their Dragon enemy would still continue in some form despite being rough around the edges. Thankfully, their hopes were finally rewarded when it was announced that Capcom would indeed be bringing Dragon’s Dogma II out and with a variety of upgrades. Featuring refinements to classes as well as some new ones, an entirely new storyline, and far more polish than the original was ever given a chance to benefit from, has Dragon’s Dogma II managed to meet expectations? No. It in fact surpasses them in pretty much every way.”
