The trailer for Dragon's Dogma 2 looked awesome and this game was on a deep sale on Steam so I finally gave it a shot. The combat is fun and the pawn system is fantastic - so much so I am shocked it hasn't been copied into other games. But this game is extremely janky and I am unable to blind myself to what I consider terrible game design decisions in order to enjoy the combat. I will likely check out the sequel when it releases, because more than a decade of feedback and ever increasing critical acclaim should have done some good.
