I might like this softened version of the game a little less than I did before, but even if some of its prickly nature has been smoothed over, Dark Arisen still offers a whole bunch more of what I loved about Dragon’s Dogma 2 in the first place.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is still one of the best action RPGs around. The game getting a second chance at life with a massive string of updates alongside an expansion that gives me a reason to spend more time in the world and offers up some of its most challenging moments is cause for celebration enough.It running on the Switch 2 as well as it does when even the PS5 struggled is testament to just how Capcom is proving to be one of the best developers for the console.
