There’s no real motivation for any of the events in the game, beyond the fact that a dragon is causing chaos. Your silent protagonist ventures off into the world of Gransys to take on a dragon without having a word to say about it. If you were expecting Dragon’s Dogma to have a gripping story and emotional impact like The Witcher 3, you’ll be in for a disappointment. Uttering some ancient magical words, the beast pokes a claw into your chest and rips out your heart. Impressed by your courage, the dragon sees you as a worthy foe. The dragon knocks you out, but not before you were able to stab its hand.

Crashing in from the distant sea, a giant beast cruises towards the village. “It’s – It’s the dragon!” shouts a villager. Support for 4K resolution is also included in this PC release, making Dragon’s Dogma look better than it ever did before. Capcom added customized hotkeys, allowing easy item usage on the fly, but did keep full gamepad support. Not only is 60 FPS possible on PC, but an extra “variable” option unlocks framerates completely. The biggest excitement is the leaps in texture quality and framerate stability that are possible with 2016 PC gaming. The PC version of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is the 2012 base game combined with every DLC and expansion that followed. Three years later, that same epic adventure role playing game sees a release on Steam.

The gaming community got an open world experience held back by the limitations of the console hardware. In May 2012, Capcom released Dragon’s Dogma for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
