Hands On: Third Time's A Charm With Dragon's Dogma On Switch

Back to Gransys, yet again.

I've got quite an odd relationship with Dragon's Dogma. When it was originally released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 way, way back in 2012, I was fresh off the back of Dark Souls and was hungry for a similar swords-and-sorcery experience. With its grim fantasy setting and frenetic third-person combat, Capcom's brand-new IP seemed like the perfect successor to sate my thirst – but it proved to be a very different game in terms of mechanics and challenge, and while I didn't fall as head-over-heels in love with it as I did with FromSoftware's often punishing epic, it certainly left a mark.

So much so that when Capcom released Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (the 2013 expansion to the original game) on the PlayStation 4 in 2017, I decided it was worth making a second trip to the wilds of Gransys to fight goblins, zombies and griffins. To give you some background, I rarely replay a game as convoluted as this; Dragon's Dogma requires tens (if not hundreds) of hours of commitment from the player, and I simply don't have many hours to spare these days. Yet here I am, already tens of hours into Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen on Switch, and I'm still not entirely sure how the game has sunk its hooks so deeply in me.
