I loved and enjoyed the game with all my heart. It was all I wanted from Dragons Dogma 2, simply more Dragons Dogma. And in the first 30 hours or so I was really satisfied with all of that. Unfortunately, as you progress you realize that the first 30 hours cover all the variety the game has to offer. After that the experience unfortunately becomes somewhat stale.
I had to put the game down after 40 hours or so and I'm mildly disappointed at the lack of innovation, but I also have to admit that before I put it down, I had some of the most fun I've had with a game in a long, long while. Though I haven't finished it, I'm satisfied putting it down now and just reflect on the fun this game brought me.
