    Must-Buy!

    Definitely was not expecting for this game to become one of my favorite games of all time. I bought it because I had heard good things about it when it came out waaay back when. That it was a sleeper hit basically. Boy were they right. This game feels like a video game, but in the best way possible. Lot of replayability and it's a blast! You can switch between different classes, and even hybrid classes. You also have a companion that follows you everywhere and helps you out. You can recruit two more "pawns" but those are intechangeable - don't get attached. You'll need to get new ones as you level up. There are a lot of weapons and the world was fun to explore

    Excellent game

    I'm so glad I bought this game, great graphics, story and game mechanics for an affordable price. This is a cheap skyrim look-alike rpg adventure that is not too difficult to master. It sits in between PS3 and PS4 for graphics and tries to achieves 30 fps succeeding most of the time.

    One of the greatest games on the Switch!

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is easily one of the game I have had the most fun playing on my Switch. The combat is fun, with some situations requiring a little more strategy than others. The game isn't very transparent when it comes to how difficult an area will be when you first enter it, other than being trounced by the local enemies right away if you are under-leveled, but it is easy enough to get yourself up to where you need to be. Overall, 4 out of 5 from me. There's is a lot of fun to be had here, but also some tedium.

    One of my favorites finally comes to the Switch!

    Dragons Dogma is one of my favorite games of all time and I was super excited to play this on a handheld console. The port is incredible and plays just like the other versions without a hitch. Don’t skip out on this one.
