What do you think of it? I remember when I first tried it on PS3 and thought the movement was too clunky and I just could not figure the combat out. For some reason it just did not click with me, and I ended up dying to even the simplest of enemies.

For some reason I didn't give up - the world seemed interesting I guess - and I'm glad I didn't, as one day everything just sort of clicked and I was climbing giant enemies and actually defeating them. I was having a blast and the game just sucked me in after that. It really felt I had bested it, in a way, and was now able to enjoy what it had to offer. Never got around to doing much in Bitterblack Isle, and I remember stopping shortly after the world changed, due to some stuff going on in life back then.

After seeing the surprise (atleast it was to me) announcement of Dragon's Dogma 2 and the anime, I rebought DD on Steam and am about to start it on my Steam Deck after years of not playing the game. Feels exciting!

By today's standards, I'm sure there's a lot that could be improved on in DD but I can wholeheartedly recommend trying it to anyone who hasn't played it yet. The combat is engaging, the world is interesting and I felt that the game was a breath of fresh air back when it was released.
