one of the most satisfying and unique games to release. wonderful gameplay system with Pawns and their interaction with the player, the world, *their* player, *their* world and how they guide you and return with new knowledge and tactics.

one of the best character creation systems ever that also actually impacts how your character interacts with the world, how fast they can walk, how big or small their hurtbox is, how heavy they are, etc., not to mention the face creation.

the classes are all so fun to play and are encouraged by the game to swap between to gain skills as you level that you can equip and share across the classes. magic in Dragon's Dogma is amazing, no game actually feels like you are a powerful mage controlling the elements instead of throwing simple colored bolts at enemies.

the game has friction built into it with traversing back and forth between locations and fast travel being restricted, these are all things that work in favor of the game along with the single save. if you cannot handle that then I don't know what to say other than please learn to engage with games

a wonderful last capcom project of Itsuno, I'm glad he got to make it before he left.
