‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’ Is a Fun but Stagnant Throwback: Video Game Review


"Dragon’s Dogma 2" from Capcom simultaneously keeps the strongest aspects of its predecessor while failing to remedy the shortcomings.

From soothing pianos in the main menu to energizing electric guitars and epic chants during its biggest battles, the game has a very eclectic array of songs curated by sound director Ryo Yoshi and lead composer Satoshi Hori. “Dragon’s Dogma 2” feels stagnant in ways where I thought that I was playing a game from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 era almost 15 years ago, not one from the current generation of consoles in 2024.
