Almost 10 hours playing so far. Don't listen to the fools who are giving this game a bad rating! Here are the straight facts from someone who actually knows about computers and a long time gamer:
1. This game relies on CPU more than your usual game. That is why many PC players who have beefy GPUs still have bad performance. Bad performance is mainly in cities, which are CPU intensive.
2. I have both a near top of the line CPU and GPU and the game still has some performance issues but like I said it's mainly in large cities. Peformance fixes are definitely needed but overall the game is not as bad as people say!
I easily get 90-110 fps outside cities, all max settings and 4k resolution, on a 4080 and Ryzen 9 7900X.
3. Yes, there are microtransactions BUT they aren't pay2win. Half of them are cosmetic, the other are extra crystals to rent high level pawns. It's a single player game, who cares! If someone wants to waste money on getting Power Leveled by pawns, it doesn't matter on single player games!
4. 10 hours in and I've had ZERO crashes even with a few mods enabled. Reported crashes are a small vocal minority (happens with any game on release nowadays sadly) and not the norm for most DD2 players. Update your drivers and Windows!
The game is better than the first Dragon's Dogma, and the pawns are much better; less talking, more "real", more of a bro than a mindless parrot. This game is what Skyrim really should have been.
OpenCritic has this game at an 89/100 average. If the supposed issues were as bad as people say, it wouldn't be getting high praise!
