Play Dragon&#8217;s Dogma people will whisper to you. You take a wrong turn in your home city and before you is graffiti saying &#8216;Dragon&#8217;s Dogma&#8217;. The Scrabble tiles fall on the board and they read out D R A G O N S D O G M A. A skywriter leaves Dragon&#8217;s Dogma in cloud letters from horizon to horizon.<\/p>\n<p>But why should you care? Why does anyone care? What&#8217;s special about Dragon&#8217;s Dogma?<\/p>\n<p>Heres our Top 5 Reasons to Play&#8230;Dragon&#8217;s Dogma.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Dragon<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/grigori.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma Grigori\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The titular dragon from Dragon&#8217;s Dogma is called Grigori, and he&#8217;s a lad. Big of chin and big on eating hearts, he certainly stole mine when he first turned up. He&#8217;s not a pretty boy, but that&#8217;s a good thing. He&#8217;s no sylph like creature from Pern, or a two legged Skyrim flapper, he&#8217;s a big boy who wants to nom on your heart and make you prove yourself to him. He only really appears a few times throughout the game, but what an impression he makes on you every time you meet him.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Pals<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pawns.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma Pawns\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pawns are your player created buddies who join you on your adventure, and who tell you what&#8217;s happening at all times. They&#8217;re a chatty bunch and their cheery companionship really makes the game. Want to know if a tree is big or not? The pawns will know! Want to know if your pawns are wet? They&#8217;ll tell you!<\/p>\n<p>You can turn their banter off but only monsters do that, and you&#8217;re not a monster are you?<\/p>\n<h2>Best Plot<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/dragons-dogma-story.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma Story\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to spoil the plot for you, but Dragon&#8217;s Dogma is a sneaky old thing. It starts off a bit weird but generally standard, &#8216;a dragon has eaten your heart, go kill the dragon&#8217;. From there it goes nuts, and it really goes nuts in the endgame. What starts out as a quest for dragonslaying becomes a meditation on player choice, as well as making every single person&#8217;s experience of the game canon. It genuinely is amazing how the game shifts in narrative, and it&#8217;s got to be experienced to be believed.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Beast Fights<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8799\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/dragons-dogma-climb.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma Climb\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll encounter big ol beasts from the tutorial onwards, and when you do they&#8217;re always thrilling. Towering over you, often your only choice is to scale them and thwack at their body parts up close. Playing like a version of Shadow of the Colossus but with good controls, you&#8217;ll often find yourself upside down on a cyclops&#8217; face trying to plant your sword in its face. And that&#8217;s before you get to Bitterblack Isle and meet what lurks there.<\/p>\n<p>There are also few joys like discovering that a beast you feared and ran away from is actually defeatable. Coming back with your pawn mates and giving the big bosh on a chimera that was troublesome earlier in the game is a joyful thing, and cathartic as heck.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Rooftop Noises<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/dragons-dogma-rooftops.jpg\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma Rooftops\" width=\"890\" height=\"273\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can do a surprising amount of parkour in the main city of Gran Soren, and the little click of your feet on the tiled rooftops is honestly the best sound in videogames. It&#8217;s almost worth the entry fee just to hear that.<\/p>\n<p>So there, if you&#8217;re not thinking about grabbing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/games\/dragons-dogma-dark-arisen\/\">Dragon&#8217;s Dogma<\/a> now, then read this article until you buy it.
