"Oblivion fades. This tales end has been unwritten"
Dragon's Dogma II is what Evil Dead II is to The Evil Dead. A fully realized reinterpretation of the original while offering up a new refreshing expierence within. A sequel 12 years later that still defiantly holds onto its principles and core design philosophy in never giving the player a streamlined expierence and one that you have to earn by your own trials and tribulations of expedition through countless wandering, brawls and battles with towering giants, monsters and dragons. Not without its caveats (I would have loved more traditional dungeons then the spree of caves in the world) but I can't help but respect Itsuno and the team at Capcom still holding onto the dream they had with Dragons Dogma in 2012 to deliver the definitive version of some of the best Action RPG gameplay the genre has seen to match its colossal sized monster fights while expanding the vast mythos of DD's world. Its as old school adventuring as it gets here.
