What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $29.39. That was June 2025. 16 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 58 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 92 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Lords of the Fallen ($29.99, scores 24) and Divinity II: Developer's Cut ($19.99, scores 70) both outscore it.
Critics scored it 88, but players land 26 points lower at 62 percent. The reviews were kinder than the room.
Steam's global achievement data says about 18 percent of players ever finish it. On a 31.8-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Players rate it 62 percent positive over its lifetime, and the last 30 days run 72 percent. It is aging into a better game than its average suggests. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 14 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 22 percent of the 8,868 reviews written there were positive, against 62 percent overall, and those are 12 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 31.8 hours; clearing it takes 94, which is 2.9 times the campaign.
117,135 people have reviewed it, which is a big enough crowd to settle the number.

What players say
A Masterpiece with Mixed Reviews Even though people have mixed feelings about this game, I think some of them are simply misunderstanding what this game is trying to achieve. So, I'll give you a few reasons to dive into this wonderful adventure. First of all, there's the combat, and that's something almost everybody agrees on: it's one of the best combat systems we've seen so far. There are diverse classes...
It was good just marred with technical problems. The update REALLY turned this game around, I legit played almost 8 straight hours after the update, there's still drops but as you can see I'm on an older system. The game is great if you like the first game and you played it sometime ago. This game is essentially a remake of the first in a way, more realized and more in-depth. I would say it's more open than the...
游戏最大的特点是代入感，适合喜欢异界冒险、剑与魔法西式幻想题材的人。人物、剧本、支线、音乐、怪物等等的设计都普普通通，甚至可以说是粗糙和敷衍。战斗动作模组很帅气，但战斗本身并不怎么有意思。某种意义上说，战斗只是饺子醋，它存在是服务于代入感的，而不是让战斗本身如何好玩。毕竟，剑与魔法的冒险故事里总需要一些怪物，需要下地牢打怪，所以游戏里设计了哥布林，骷髅兵，蜥蜴人，鹰身女妖，狮鹫，巨龙这些经典形象，但也仅限于此。 我不推荐这游戏的主要原因是它最大的特色"代入感"有时会让人感到无力。很多系统，还有任务线索在游戏里都有些隐晦，有些能猜出来，有些则很难和制作组脑洞对上（比如中期一个寻找摘花被狼叼走的小男孩的任务）。这些因为追求代入感导致的不便，让第一次游玩的体验极差。但如果去查攻略，则又显然破坏了"代入感"。所以结果就是：如果你想玩得顺畅不便秘，那最好看一些攻略提前排坑。如果为了追求代入感初见不看攻略，那就做好赤石的心理准备。

Dragon's Dogma 2 scores 9/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/2054970/dragon-s-dogma-2The BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 13, price as of Sep 23.
