Not a perfect game, but a perfect sequel. This game will bounce a lot of people off, and that's very fair... But like Dragon's Dogma before it the vision here is uncompromising and so very confident in itself. It's a game that loves Dragon's Dogma and celebrates all the quirks and kinks in the gameplay by doubling down, and I loved every single second of it. A shame that the poor performance (as of writing) and the MTX discussion have poisoned the well in the discussion of one of the most passionate AAA games I've played in the last decade.

The last 10 - 15 hours of this game are pure unadulterated kino. A perfect reward for those who have waited this long and are willing to see it through to the end.
