Good game - confusing maps

Pretty good game, but too much to explore. Seems as though you can go thru woods, caves, climb rocks, and go many different ways. Have not figured out if there is a "proper" way to transverse the terrain.

Gamers who doubt the capabilities of Nintendo's console should try this game for reference. The Switch version of Dragon's Dogma plays and looks identical to the PS3 version, with only minor graphical pop-up seen in enemies materializing too quickly on the map reminding you that you're playing this excellent action RPG on a handheld!! The game itself is criminally underrated, and the Switch port gives players unfamiliar with the world of Gransys a chance to explore a consistently challenging world that takes multiple replays to fully exhaust. And to get murdered multiple times on Bitterblack Isle.

Where was I in 2012 when this game originally came out? I finally dove in with this recently released Nintendo Switch version after years of hearing that it was a great game. Turns out everyone was right! Action RPG with different classes that you can switch between, large open areas to explore, deep combat, and customizable AI-controlled party members that you can share and download over the internet, all in a beautiful fantasy setting. Check it out!

This is an excellent, albeit a bit old game. If you've never played it and you think it looks interesting, you owe it to yourself to pick it up.

They did a really good job of bringing this game to the Nintendo Switch. Would highly recommend if you enjoyed Skyrim on the Switch.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well Dragon’s Dogma played on my Nintendo Switch. The frame rate was good.. playing mostly in handheld mode. Plenty of action and hours of fun.

Dragons Dogma was a sleeper hit on the PS3 and 360. Its a high fantasy adventure game that has some great action gameplay and combat. Lots to explore in the kingdom you find yourself in as your work towards the showdown with a dragon and more. Now you can take this epic game on the go. Its a single player game so you can enjoy it on your own time.

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.

If you played the original, then you will enjoy this one too. It doesn't look as great on the switch as other consoles but its still fun to play.

While you may think Dragon's Dogma is an old game, and it is, its one of few games I can think of that holds up all these years after it's initial release. I like to think of it of Skyrim meets Monster Hunter. If that gets you excited at all, I'd be hard pressed to think of a reason you wouldn't like this game.

Man this game is awesome. I can't believe I missed it on the PS3. It feels like a big game world that's like Skyrim. I am hooked on this and playing it every day. It's epic.i would highly recommend. The graphics are a little dated and the save system and fast travel systems suck, but the game makes up for it in do many other ways. If you love Skyrim you're gonna love this as well.

I won’t give 5 stars unless the game is perfect in every way and Dragon’s Dogma hits the mark. It is excellent. Amazing combat, voice acting, characters, gameplay, this game is a real masterpiece and it plays fantastic on the Switch. If you liked Skyrim, you will love Dragon’s Dogma.

Underrated action RPG

Dragon's Dogma is a vast open-world action RPG where you complete missions and fight challenging bosses. A lot of the game's enjoyment depends on the player's choices. You can choose to play the fairly linear story missions, but that may come as a consequence as you progress—the difficulty does ramp up, so it's greatly encouraged to complete side quests to level up your character. Overall, it's a fun character-driven story that stands just as tall among other like-minded games like Skyrim.

I was on the fence about this game for a bit. I had seen all the hype from everyone on the internet and said there's no way this game is that fun....then I played it! yes, the game has its problems and can be a bit janky, but overall I can't stop playing it. the combat is great and the big battles are awesome. and that pawn system is just wonderful! if you were on the fence about this game, I say JUST BUY IT! it is $30 and has a ton of content to keep you busy. it is worth the money

For a remake of an older title, Dragon’s Dogma is a great fit for the Switch. Playing in handheld mode helps stomach the dated graphics, and while the combat can get wonky, it’s pretty solid for a last-gen game. The story is forgettable, but the quests will keep you engaged. It’s a lot like the original Baldur’s Gate games with a little BG: Dark Alliance added to the mix. And at $29.99 MSRP, it’s a good buy for the amount of game you get.
