N-Gamz
Very successful staging and captivating narrative
Long lifespan
English accent still as delightful
Visually sublime
New powers related to obelisks and eternal flames
Update 4.0 which adds PSSR 2 and finally makes the title ultra smooth and tear-free on PS5 Pro
Principle of the loot to be appraised that smells like Diablo.
Frekia is adorable AND very useful
Music still as epic
Exploration always rewarding
A brand new, very large game area with a polar biome, a fearsome dragon, and a tough challenge.
The extension also adds elements to the original map.
Camera still not working properly
No French dubbing
It is better to have finished the original software as the enemies in this extension are powerful.
No new class
Dungeons of forgotten rituals that alternate between hot and cold in terms of design.

Excellent approach to gear via Relics, brutal combat, meaningful changes to the base game, and Norgan?s icy world is absolutely intriguing, stable performance across the board
Slightly repetitive story beats and enemy designs

Norgan is massive and fun to explore
Fleets of ferocious foes
Tons of loot to nab

Removes a lot of the interesting friction

The Norgan region is a beautiful addition in terms of exploration.
Many improvements in quality of life
Enhanced level of challenge
There are no really impactful changes in the gameplay.
Too much recycling of enemies
The narrative component continues to not surprise.

NerdMovieProductions
The changes made to the gameplay significantly enhance the overall experience.
The new system related to loot and loot creates an engaging gameplay loop.
The new story and setting are convincing and fit well into the narrative of Dragon's Dogma 2.
The level of difficulty sometimes has sudden peaks upwards.
There is a lack of variety in the selection of enemies.
Those who did not like the unguided approach of the original will not find major changes in this regard.

The narrative is more focused and more character-driven
The land is big and full of content
Hunting Relics is addictive...
...but it involves too much downtime spent managing the inventory
Combat is still a chaotic mess in which the players have less control than they should
