Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen was probably an amazing game for it's time, but it feels super dated now.  Looks and plays like a PS2 game, with texture maps stretched over blocks.

The game boasted combat and initially it was very good, fighting bigger beasts like ogre and griffin - but having to climb them and attack sections, while teamed up with a party of "pawn" adventurers.  It got pretty tedious though, perhaps there is fast travel convenience that I didn't discover - but it was a whole lot of walking on the same road that spawned the same enemies in the same position for 15 minutes before I could do anything.  Plus "running" was in limited supply, you could only do it in bursts or your character will stop and pant for a while.

The next game this company makes will be awesome.
