Dragon’s Dogma 2shows strength mechanics-wise, but many are already touting it as a GOTY contender, and a game shouldn’t get that kind of buzz just by doing things right. Luckily,Dragon’s Dogmapushes well beyond the confines of what we see as a “great game” via some awesomely surprising mechanics.
In a time when publishers like to disrespect the gods of surprise by showing off every little detail of the game to maximize initial sales,Dragon’s Dogma2 has the guts to not disclose all of its intricacies right off the gate. One such case is that of the catapults, which, just like the siege crossbows present in the game, look like they’re no more than weapons to use against big game. It turns out that the catapults can also work as keys — in a very medieval sense, at least. Yes, you may use some catapults inDragon’s Dogma 2to break certain walls and thus open new pathways for the Arisen to travel.

I have 15 hours I to this game I’ve barely made a scratch into the 1st section of the map and story and you mean to tell me there is this? I’m never beating this game
Dragon’s Dogma 2is a breath of fresh air in game design
I believe it’s undeniable thatDark Soulsrocked the world of level design, and thatElden Ringperfected the formula. Other fantasy action or RPG titles must pick between going with something outdated, copying the winning formula, or risking something new.Dragon’s Dogma 2has so manyinteresting new approaches to gameplaythat it doesn’t even feel the need to boast about them all to players, and I salute that.
Also, all trebuchets are catapults,and not the other way round.You can launch yourself intoDragon’s Dogma 2on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC right this very moment.
