I'd like to start by saying I am fan of the series, love this game, love DD1 and DD:DA.

The level design, game-play, story, immersive-world and all of the trademark features from Dragon's Dogma are here and it feels great to have another entry to this title after such a long time.

Yes I am leaving a negative review, although the game is immensely fun, the technical problems aren't and for a price-tag like this one they shouldn't be here, the game is overly reliant on CPU, to a degree I've never seen before on a game of this size, not sure what is going on with the handling of the NPCs data but it needs a refactor asap. And to add to the CPU load, Capcom decided to add Denuvo as the DRM of choice, a software known for clogging the CPU and ram.

Hopefully their team manages to get the NPC issue under control on PC, and that they drop the DRM after the game has been cracked.

This game is already a masterpiece, they just need to fix some dents out.

Edit: Switched to positive even with the performance issues, I just cannot in my right mind not recommend this masterpiece of storytelling! I'd play it even with 10 fps if I had to.
