Gameplay

5 - It does feel like an open-world game given all the extra stuff you could do and discover as you go about completing side quests and the main story.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
141 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
2 - The combat system is pretty good, but it can get easy if you have a strong party.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

6 - The general con of this game is the optimization and the VRAM spikes (if you‘re not patient enough to tinker with the settings and understand how the settings impact VRAM and FPS): it really did take a long time for me to get it to work smoothly and with high graphics (2GB to 3GB texture outdoors at 70 FPS).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Dragon’s Dogma 2 looks incredible, and the level of freedom it gives you—both in character customization and how your party behaves—feels genuinely refreshing.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Soundtrack is a hit just like the previous game, and the visuals are on par to most games, character creation is amongst the best any game can offer you.
