You can change classes as much as you want with a single character, so it's hard to get bored. There's also good reason to play all the classes, since some of the passive and active skills you learn in one class can be used in some or all of the others, leading to some extremely fun personalizing of your character's (and your pawn's) various builds over time. Speaking of the pawns (which are the 1-3 NPC's that make up the rest of your adventuring party), they have some of the best AI I've seen in a game. Well-trained and equipped pawns can rival the effectiveness of your character him/herself.
There's also a lot to say about the gameplay. Fighting human-sized monsters is always fun, but fighting the giant monsters such as wyverns and ogres is a blast, especially because you can climb around on them and attack Shadow of the Colossus-style. Possibly one of the best things about the gameplay though is that there's many "end game" things to do. New game plus lets you play through the main campaign again (preferably in Hard Mode), keeping all of your items and character progress. Then there's Bitterblack Isle, a massive DLC dungeon that can take much longer than the main game to complete with tons of new systems to expand character customization even more. And there's also another endgame feature I won't talk about to avoid story spoilers.
Long story short: If you liked games like Skyrim, Shadow of the Colossus, Kingdoms of Amalur, or Fable, you'll probably adore this game as much as I do.
You are the Arisen, a person who is destined to face the dragon and save the world. Pretty cliche RPG fare, right? You'd be right, but what differentiates this game from others is how engrossing it can get. There aren't tons of "dungeons" like Skyrim where you walk down a few corridors over and over, but instead there are a few very big and well made ones. Enemy variety isn't great, but you each encounter continues to be engaging no matter your level. I won't even mention the DLC content, but that's your real endgame, and what a blast that is.
Classes are divided into your usual warrior/thief/wizard classes, but the twist on these is that upon leveling them you can elect to rank up to a stronger version, OR you can go for hybrid classes which combine the two. Magic Knight, Magick Archer, and so forth. In total there are 9 classes offering fairly varied gameplay. Add to that the ability to jump onto larger monsters and cling to them while you beat their faces in, and you're going to be having a good time in this game. In a normal playthrough without doing every last quest I clocked in over 70 hours, so for the price you are getting your money's worth without a doubt.
1) fast travel is limited. Most of the adventure is on the road though so this isn’t a big factor.
2) stamina is much more important
3) looting your fallen enemies is not as fun and doesn’t give much
4) the story is weaker, and some paces is a bit weird but the gameplay and open world elements are amazing and very detailed
5) your map is much smaller than Skyrim. There’s only a few cities and towns, but this world still feels big and there is still a lot of ground to explore and learn about.
This game is amazing like I said. I hope this list helps you make a decision. I just have not been able to put it down yet and I’ve already got over 45 hours in just on the side quests.

"Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" pour la Nintendo Switch offre une expérience de jeu exceptionnellement riche, combinant le contenu du jeu de base avec l'extension Dark Arisen. Cette compilation garantit aux joueurs une aventure étendue et diversifiée, offrant une durée de vie conséquente.
Les combats constituent l'un des points forts du jeu, avec des affrontements captivants et intenses. La variété des ennemis et des tactiques nécessaires pour les vaincre contribuent à maintenir un niveau élevé d'engagement tout au long du jeu. Les graphismes et l'ambiance réussie ajoutent une dimension immersive, plongeant les joueurs dans un monde fantastique visuellement stimulant.
La liberté de personnalisation est une caractéristique louable, permettant aux joueurs de créer des personnages uniques et de personnaliser leur style de jeu.
La bande-son somptueuse accompagne parfaitement l'aventure, renforçant l'atmosphère du jeu.
Cependant, le jeu peut présenter des défis en mode portable, où les limitations techniques peuvent affecter l'expérience de jeu. En revanche, en mode docké, les performances sont techniquement correctes, permettant aux joueurs de profiter pleinement des graphismes et de l'action.
Un autre aspect décevant réside dans l'intelligence artificielle du jeu, parfois en deçà des attentes. Les coéquipiers gérés par l'IA peuvent parfois manquer de réactivité et de stratégie, ce qui peut entraîner des moments frustrants.
En ce qui concerne le scénario, bien que celui-ci soit plutôt basique, il parvient à maintenir un fil conducteur solide pour l'aventure. Toutefois, pour les joueurs avides d'une narration plus complexe et immersive, ce pourrait être un aspect à améliorer.
En résumé, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen sur Nintendo Switch offre une expérience globalement satisfaisante, mais certains défauts, tels que l'IA et le scénario, pourraient être des points de considération pour les joueurs exigeants.
Article reçu conformément à la description, rapide. R à S.
Concernant le jeu :
Dragon's Dogma est un JRPG avec quelque "allure" de Monster Hunter dans son gameplay.
Le mélange est parfait et le voyage plutôt long.
L'histoire principale est plutôt simple mais efficace.
Énormément de quête secondaires, le système de pions vraiment sympa, le système de classe, le DLC rajoutant plusieurs heures ne fait que prolonger le plaisir.
C'est un très bon jeu.
