I've been playing Dragon's Dogma for the past week now and so far I've been very impressed. The gameplay is very good, it's a mix of Skyrim, Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter... if you liked any of those games, you will most likely enjoy Dragon's Dogma.

The game starts with a dragon attacking your village. After your failed to attempt to protect the village, the dragon eats your heart and leaves. You wake up with no heart and with one mission, recover your heart.

After you leave your village you will have hundreds of quest to choose from on a medieval/mythical open world full of danger everywhere. During the day you'll fight goblins, bandits, thieves and other wild beast. At night the undead rise from the ground, Dark Knights chase after you, and other who knows what lurks in the shadows. When you travel at night make sure your lantern is full of oil, believe me you don't want to run out of lantern oil at night in the middle of the forest.

The game doesn't have online co-op, but you can summon companions from other players to aid you in your quest via PSN or LiVE. You will need to constantly change your party, as companions from other worlds (players) do not level up. If someone else uses your companion on their quest, whatever items your companion finds it will give them to you, as well as Rift Crystals, the currency needed to summon other companions.

The game is very realistic in the sense that you will actually have to travel to different locations with out a quick travel option. The only quick traveling is via a Ferrystone that will teleport you back to the main location of the game, Gran Soren. Unlike other games where you can do multiple quest at once with out getting tired, Dragon's Dogma encourages the player to rest and eat in order to recover your stamina and health to 100%. You can do that through out many rest areas across the map, or in the inn at Gran Soren where you will most likely store all of your items.

NPC's have their own schedules, so you will most likely not find the same character in the same locations. That means your quests will most likely play out or be triggered differently than mine.

Overall DRAGON'S DOGMA is a very fun game if you are into epic RPGs and Dragons and Griffins and Cyclops and Ogres...

Highly recommended.

I'm actually really psyched to get around to this title. One of my friends had been going through it for a while and raved about its greatness. It just looks like a great mix of Skyrim and Dark Souls with some Shadow of Colossus thrown in, along with the other titles you mentioned. I still have a big backlog of things to get through, but maybe this'll be my Christmas present to me this year

Thanks for the heads up, Saffire!
