Is Dragon's Dogma 2 As Bad As People Say? — First Impressions
Dragon's Dogma 2 is easily one of the most polarizing games in the genre. As a veteran of the first game, I came into this sequel with high expectations, but some of the design choices have been deeply frustrating for long-time fans. Coming into this fresh, I wanted to find out: Is Dragon's Dogma 2 as bad as people say?
In this video, I’m sharing my honest first impressions from the perspective of someone who lived through the original. I’m breaking down the world-building, the updated Pawn system, and the changes to the combat mechanics to see if these "weird" design choices actually improve the adventure or if they just get in the way of the legacy.
Whether you're a fellow Arisen from the first game or you're just curious about the hype, let's look at the Dragon's Dogma 2 experience and see if it’s a journey worth taking in 2026.
