Dragon’s Dogma 2
Familiar olde-worlde fantasy hallmarks meet the strangest set of companions you’re ever likely to go questing with, as a cult classic game gets another shot at the big time
PS5, XSX, PC / go.stuff.tv/DD2
There’s so much more to Dragon’s Dogma 2 than dungeons and wizards. Think of it as the action-orientated equivalent of Baldur’s Gate 3, just with weirder teammates.
The plot is pure fantasy fare: a huge, powerful dragon threatens the world, but has also created its own arch rival –the Arisen –by plucking out their heart. In the kingdom of Vermund, that makes you king… except someone else is already on the throne, claiming they had their heart stolen. It’s down to you to solve the imposter problem. And after that, the bigger, fire-breathing one.
