The combat system is the undeniable star of *Dragon’s Dogma 2*, with 85 positive mentions out of 111—yet it’s held back by an engine that struggles to keep up, as performance complaints (26 negative mentions) make up a third of all technical critiques. Over 80% of players who logged more than 25 hours still praise the experience, though early access rough edges remain palpable.

What it's about: Dragon's Dogma 2 est un RPG action en solo à l'histoire riche, qui invite les joueurs à définir leur expérience, de l'apparence de leur Insurgé, à leur classe, leur groupe, la façon dont ils approchent les différentes situations, et plus encore, cela dans un monde de fantasy captivant.

Strengths

  • The combat system is the game’s defining strength, with 85 positive mentions out of 111—players repeatedly praise its depth, tactical weight, and sheer fluidity, especially in boss encounters. The 'pions' (playable characters) keyword (9 mentions) reflects how much players engage with customizing and switching between them mid-battle.
  • Exploration and world design are deeply appreciated, with 16 mentions for 'exploration' and 11 for 'monde' (world), suggesting players are drawn to the vast, interconnected environments and side quests. This is further backed by 61% of players spending 10–25 hours enjoying these elements.
  • The RPG mechanics—leveling, gear progression, and loot systems—are frequently highlighted as satisfying, with 17 positive mentions out of 36 for 'content'. Players seem to enjoy the grind and rewards, even if some find it uneven.
  • The fantasy setting and immersion are notable positives, with 7 mentions for 'immersion' and 5 for 'fantastique' (fantasy), indicating that the world’s atmosphere and lore resonate with those who care about these aspects.

Weaknesses

  • Performance is the game’s most glaring flaw, with 26 negative mentions out of 38—frequent frame drops, stuttering, and optimization issues plague the experience, especially in larger battles or when switching between characters. The keyword 'optimisation' (18 mentions) underscores how consistently this is a point of frustration.
  • Bugs and UI quirks are low in mentions but universally negative, with 12 mentions for 'bugs' and 7 for 'ui'—players report crashes, menu glitches, and inconsistent controls, which can break immersion even for those who love the core gameplay.
  • The story receives mixed reactions, with only 19 positive mentions out of 41—while some players appreciate its scale and worldbuilding, others find it shallow or poorly delivered, leading to a 36% negativity rate in early access reviews.
  • Price sensitivity is a minor but noticeable issue, with 10 negative mentions out of 14—some players feel the $60 launch price doesn’t reflect the unfinished state, particularly given the performance and bug concerns.

Who is it for?

This is for players who prioritize deep, tactical combat and open-world exploration over polished storytelling or flawless execution. Fans of *Dark Souls*-style difficulty, customizable characters, and immersive fantasy worlds will find plenty to sink hours into, even if the engine occasionally lets them down.

Is Dragon's Dogma 2 worth it in 2026?

Yes, but with a few reservations: 62% of 115,592 Steam reviews are positive (player score 73/100). Most-praised strength: The combat system is the game’s defining strength. Current price: 39,99€.

Verdict

is a combat-driven masterpiece in the making, but its rough edges—particularly performance and bugs—prevent it from being a seamless experience. The fact that 82% of long-term players (>25h) still rate it positively suggests the core appeal is undeniable, though early access hangovers linger. If you’re willing to overlook technical hiccups for a rich, evolving RPG combat experience, it’s well worth the investment.
