I beat my first run through Dragons Dogma 2. It was a really fun game. Not perfect, but fun. It's a shame it got a bad wrap with microtransactions and some day-one bugs.
I didn't run into too many glitches (apart from my Pawns getting stuck on objects a couple of times). And one time I soft-locked myself out of a quest but I looked up a discussion online and other people had the same problem and figured out a workaround.
Anyway. Fun game. Beautiful world. It's at it's best when you're just exploring the map, looking for treasure in random caves and killing whatever monsters you come across. The combat is really engaging. I only played 2 classes, but both of them were interesting. Didn't really notice any requests for microtransations. There's like an 'online shop' on the main menu but I never looked at it and it didn't feel like anything was missing from the game. AND you can hire prostitutes.
9/10. I think I'll give it another playthrough maybe in a few monthes *months try to get the "True" ending.
