FromSoftware's Elden Ring is renowned for countless reasons, but much of its praise has often been directed toward its open-world formula. Open-world games have received credible criticism over the last decade, primarily due to the repetitive and bland model some have adopted. However, Elden Ring managed to evade that stigma by offering an open world that defies what has become the typical mold. Now, Dragon's Dogma 2, Capcom's sequel to the 2012 cult classic, seems to abide by a similar set of rules in its open world, which is four times larger than its predecessor's.
