Set in a huge open world, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen presents a rewarding action combat experience.

This game is amazing. I played it on ps3 than Xbox one and now on PC. And it’s still holds up. It makes me even more ready for Dragon Dogma 2!!!!

It's a bit old at this point, but once you start climbing giant monsters and hacking off limbs/necks it's a blast. It's a bit slow to start, but I think it has promise. I'm definitely enjoying it so far.
