Dragons Dogma 2

Dragon's Dogma 2 review - endless discoveries paired with limitless potential. A huge improvement over the original, and a captivating journey from beginning to end. As I launched Dragon's Dogma 2 for the first time, I told myself that I should go into it with a more critical eye than I usually would.
