The value story

The value story

16 discounts in the 3 years on record, a median of 58 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 9 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 90 percent. Lords of the Fallen ($9.89, scores 26) outscores it, and so does Divinity II: Developer's Cut ($19.99, scores 70). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

More about Dragon's Dogma 2

Critics scored it 88, but players land 25 points lower at 63 percent. The reviews were kinder than the room.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 18 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 31.7-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Players rate it 63 percent positive over its lifetime, and the last 30 days run 80 percent. It is aging into a better game than its average suggests. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 18 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2026 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,872 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 477 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 22 percent of the 8,776 reviews written there were positive, against 63 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

Finishing takes 31.7 hours; clearing it takes 94, which is 3.0 times the campaign.

121,007 people have reviewed it, which is a big enough crowd to settle the number.

What players say

There's no game like Dragon's Dogma. The Dark Arisen DLC and the recent updates have made this game even better. Please, CAPCOM… next time, let the director of Dark Arisen direct Dragon's Dogma 3! He was responsible for both Dark Arisen DLCs , which are widely considered some of the best content in both games.

Easy push to 9/10 from a 6/10. The DLC really saved this game. The entire DLC area and storyline feels like a distilled version of DD1 + DA1; it hits a lot of familiar beats and brings familiar mechanics back, which greatly improved the gameplay experience. I think the characters in this DLC are actually the best written in the entire series, and i wanted to complete all the side quests to learn more about them ...

Beat the first game before coming and playing the second. What a waste of money this game was. Performance issues, a terrible story and bugs bugs bugs. Not worth anything more than $20. The Good: Finally added the second race that was supposed to be in the first. Game looks good I guess? The Bad: PERFORMANCE IS GARBAGE No meaningful updates for an extended time Game launched with time savers and a terrible fast...
