Dragon's Dogma

While at first glance Dragonâ€™s Dogma may seem like another cynical attempt by a publisher to ape the success of Bethesdaâ€™s Skyrim,Â itâ€™s important to note early on that appearances can…

Dragon’s Dogma

It's quite possibly ironic that in trying to think of apt metaphors for Dragon's Dogma as a game instead I happened across a realisation that the game itself works as metaphor for the Japanese development industry. These are difficult times in the...

Dragon's Dogma Review

Engrossing and frustrating, Dragon's Dogma is a flawed and unique gem.

Fantastic combat encounters against awesome monsters ; One of the best boss fights in any role-playing game, ever ; There is always a surprise around the corner ; Atmospheric touches that make the world feel authentic ; A series of striking choices...

Tedious backtracking through familiar territory ; Annoying pawn behavior ; Bizarre quest-related and story events

Such moments are the culmination of Dragon's Dogma's outstanding combat scenarios. These are some of the best-animated creatures in any game to date. You've never seen chimeras like this: part lion, part goat, part snake, and all fearsome. The lion's...

Dragon's Dogma

Games Xtreme finally manages to get out of Gransys and presents our Dragon's Dogma review!

Dragon's Dogma is a step in the right direction for open world action rpgs. It is fun, addictive and deserves to be on your shelf.

Dragon's Dogma PS3 Review

There's something very peculiar about Dragon's Dogma, something oddly compelling that despite its rough edges and pace problems, players will want to complete one more quest, kill one more monster and buy one more set of armour. That's because this...

Immersive and beliveable world ; The Pawn system ; Players can change their class whenever they want to ; A huge plethora of quests and items to find and use

Graphical hiccups ; Unfair difficulty spikes

Dragon's Dogma

Dragon's Dogma is an interesting, ambitious and thought-provoking effort, but it's not the all-conquering RPG Capcom hoped for.

Interesting connectivity ideas ; Strong party and gear management

Irritating, unrelenting chatter ; Often laborious

An interesting, ambitious and thought-provoking effort, then, and certainly one with much to be proud of, but not the all-conquering RPG Capcom hoped for.

Dragons Dogma review: The most hardcore RPG on consoles

There's no sense of danger in modern games. Dying has become a minor setback rather than something to be feared. That's why Dragon's Dogma is so inspiring. Its enormous world is rife with danger, and death lurks around every corner. It's an adventure...

Big, challenging and imaginative, but its hardcore nature won't appeal to everyone. If you have a lot of time, and patience, this is one of the best console RPGs

Dragon's Dogma Review

Part Skyrim, part Dragon Age, part Monster Hunter, part Dark Souls, is Dragon's Dogma only part good?

The mish-mash of styles actually works mostly, although it would have been nice to have seen some more innovation in "Dragon’s Dogma". But despite the solid world, the dreadful dialogue and very generic world and NPCs Dragon’s Dogma is still a success...

Dragon's Dogma (Xbox 360 / PS3) Review

Dragon's Dogma is an open-world, action RPG, developed by Capcom. It features an expansive medieval world to explore, customizable action based combat, and a long main quest. Players can choose between a wide range of appearances, classes, skills, and...

Large world to explore with a long main quest ; Combat is solid and responsive ; Many customization features ; Almost no bugs, glitches, or save game issues

Limited or no quick travel ; Quests can get boring quickly ; Wandering away from the main story can be very dangerous ; Limiting sandbox freedom ; Limited enemy variety and only a few dungeons

Dragon's Dogma is a solid open world action RPG with responsive combat, lots of customization, and plenty to do and see. It's a little rough around the edges, but worth the effort to see the story through.
