Game Review: ‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’
Regarding CAPCOM, I’ve only really played the Resident Evil games and have not ventured far from that, but I thought I tried something new and did not regret it!

CAPCOM came through with Dragon’s Dogma 2 the sequel to their 2012 hit. I want to thank CAPCOM for allowing me an early look at this game! Dragon’s Dogma 2 takes players to a high-fantasy world where you take on the role of The Arisin, a person who has had their heart taken by a dragon and whose fate is now linked to that dragon. Now you and your Pawns must venture the world to uncover The Arisin’s memories as well as squash a conspiracy. Now onto the game itself! Control-wise, you’ll
