I'm not done the game yet or anything, but I've done the main quest and a bunch of side quests, so I felt like writing up about it.

As much as I decently enjoyed dragons dogma 1 it was definitely an extremely annoying game with jank overload and just the most egregious traveling ever even though I was playing dark arisen I didn't even know the eternal ferrystone was a thing so most of it I was just playing normally. It has fine combat, but you get pretty busted pretty quick, and the game felt like it ended multiple times just to keep going.

This game very much ends a bit abruptly. Despite that, though, I enjoyed it a bit more being a more straightforward boss rather than a script fest. Dragons Dogma 2 has some great gameplay with a great sense of exploration. I know that people will dog on the enemy variety and how often you'll find hobgoblins, harpies, or bandits, yet I find the enemy variety to be quite good since they offer different changes to your playstyle. (I'm especially glad there's no evil eye) I hope this game reaches the group that finds games nowadays to be boring or the people who think devs don't make more bold games anymore.

Overall, I think this game shouldn't exist in a good way. I'm glad we got it even with its performance issues and use of microtransactions (which are extremely tame for microtransactions and the first game already used). I think it's worth playing, and there's a lot of secret substories you probably wouldn't know about and secret bosses you wouldn't find just doing the main story. Like the first game, there's way more to it than just killing the dragon. I recommend it.

Thank you for Microsoft buying Bethesda! All that Microsoft money and Arkane talent (Pre Deathloop and Youngblood) is really showing!

Okay, let's be for real. This is awful. Inexcusably awful. Like, who pitched this game? Hey arkane, I know you guys made these great emergent modern imsims, but have you guys ever heard of far cry? I'm just confused about how this entire game was even greenlit. It's uninspired, boring, lame, generic and literally any negative term I could throw out applies to this fucking game. Just because it's on gamepass, too, doesn't make it okay.

This game is shit. I don't even care if arkane is shut down after this. Even if they made prey and dishonored. Its not the same arkane anymore. 3 shit games in a row. Wonderful.

Homeworld is so fucking good. This game is literally everything I want in a game and it came out over two decades ago. Its a phenomenal strategy game with an amazing story and fun missions. The soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal and the sound design is so damn good for the time. Everything about homeworld makes it one of the best RTS games ever plus the modding scene is really good and multiplayer is fun if you can find someone to play with you. The remasters are really good too so you might as well just get them!

Alright this game is peak. Its a culmination of every AC that came before with some strange souls boss influences that sometimes work sometimes feel like it tries too hard. But overall what a peak game. The gameplay feels extremely similar to AC4A with toned down speed more equivalent to oldgen. If you played this and still haven't played the other games I got no clue what you're doing.

Now that I establish at I love this game let's go into a few things I will critique. First off the music is quite whatever. Compared to previous armored core games the soundtrack in 6 never had that big wow track that makes you truly hyped for what you're doing, it feels like it holds back multiple times and I wish they'd have that remember track the game needed. Another thing is the story which I do love but it feels like it makes a few too many parallels to previous games. Also the story overall feels completely unfinished like it was purposely done for dlc. There's so many loose ends that still aren't finished and questions that lack answers. Anyway play this game is amazing.
