Much like its 2012 predecessor, Dragon's Dogma 2 doesn't quite play the rules of its genre. Adopting an open-world style all of its own, a unique progression system, a distinctive sense of storytelling, and a whole slew of emergent gameplay mechanics, Dragon's Dogma 2 is a wholly unique product and one that stands out massively in today's open-world market, which is both a blessing and a curse.
