Good open RPG, shows its age

Admittedly, I'm only a few hours in, so take this with a grain of salt, but here is my impression so far: It's a good open world RPG with a lot of depth, but it shows it's age in terms of quality of life/overall experience, and it's only an easy recommendation if you've played through the other open world RPGs (or their ilk) already available on the switch. If you've already played through Skyrim, BoTW, XBC2, then consider this one — at 30 bucks, it's not a huge risk.

I've never got to play this game when it was on the last generation systems so when I heard it was coming to the Nintendo switch I just had to pick up a copy because I watched a lot of trailers and YouTubers to make sure I would like it and I wasn't disappointed in my purchase

For $30 this is a wonderful open world rpg experience with amazingly rendered monsters and a unique party system that lets you interact with other people's games even though this is strictly a single-player game. This game's best attributes are a flashy over the top combat system and fantastic spell effects. This game has a loyal fanbase and all of the above should tell you not to miss out on the lesser known gem of a game. Many hours of adventure await!

This game originally came out on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. It has since been remastered for PS4, Xbox one, and Switch. I got the Switch version. It plays well and is an improvement over the PS3 version. In my opinion this is one of the best rpgs ever made. It belongs with Skyrim, and Final Fantasy. Overall a great game. Give it a try.

Really, one of the best games I played. Missed this game during Xbox 360 era. But glad it came out on switch. It’s kinda slow at the beginning. But after a few hours it will get a lot more fun. If you like SoulsBourne games you might like this one too.

I've heard great things about this game, but wanted to snag it while I could. The first run was missing the red around the Switch logo and on the spine. As a collector, it's definitely one I wanted to have. Will probably end up getting it when it goes on sale digitally so I can keep this one sealed as I'm crazy like that!

I love these games and this adventure is just as good as the rest. I particularly like the graphics and the battles which are not that good on some games on the switch. This one however is really nice and I know that you will enjoy it too especially if you like these games.

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.

Dragons Dogma has all the elements of a good RPG - quests, leveling up, lots of loot... And it adds a unique element- pawns - that really amps up the fun. You get one pawn who you design and level up. And you can hire other pawns who have their own unique experiences and knowledge.

I have purchased this game a couple times now and can actually say that the Switch is an awesome platform to play it on. I am really surprised how well it preforms on the switch. I have played mostly in handheld mode, and I haven’t had any problems with the games performance. There is a lot of content here for $30. I think it is a must have for the Switch.

I missed this game when it first came out years ago but wow am I glad I have it another shot. Questing and plot can be a bit confusing as there isn't a clear "main" plot, but there's so much to do you'll have a blast just making your way through the world naturally.

One of my fav games. Like chadow of the collosus is cool but it lacks real variety in wai/bando. Dagron dogma lets you nab any of that fine 3d boonky. Protip: Just grab enemies and shotput 'em off a cliff.

Dragons Dogma is the hardcore hack and slash game that everyone was waiting for, and the port delivers on all levels. This dark and beautiful games sets you off on an adventure throughout a monster plagued land with loads of thing to kill and complete.

Been looking for another good RPG to play on my Switch, when I saw Dragon's Dogma. I've heard of it on previous systems, but never had the chance to play. After seeing some great reviews for it, thought I would give it a try. Absolutely enjoying it. Love that it's portable. Looks pretty good, sound is great and gameplay is top notch.

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.

From ordering it online to coming up to pick it up, Best Buy made it so easy and simple to get all i needed. The game is so much fun, especially since I’m on the go playing it on my switch.

People told me this game was good for years, but I never bothered to listen until it came out for switch. You know what? They were right. All the fantasy fun of skyrim, but with combat that's actually fun! A joy to play!
