What makes the score so high is Bitterblack Isle's difficulty. The 6 classes and the abilities remain, and the difficulty settings are a bit more balanced. However, I've upped the score just a bit in terms of DA, because although they've barely changed the system from the original, it is a bit smoother to operate. And that's why, even if it feels clunky or rough at times, I give DD a decent score in the range (usually a 3 to a 4). Had there been more to find along the way, in both the DLC and the main story, it would have definitely been a 5/5.ĭD combat has always been a step up from your typical hack and slash due to the options, strategy, and simply the wow aspect of being able to climb an Ogre's leg or something similar. The ending is better represented, and the many stories of previous Arisen are shown in depth, which is why I believe it's a great DLC in terms of story. Overall, despite a lack of explanation until the end, the DLC adds a nice twist to a somewhat confusing story. There's no changes in story from the original game to this one. Very little is explained until the end of the DLC.
The land has been cursed and abandoned since, and the only inhabitants are corrupt versions of creatures of Gransys. When given the chance to fight the Dragon or take a wish, the Arisen chose to sacrifice his loved one in exchange for his very own piece of reality. Bitterblack Isle is a place between reality and thought where the faults of past Arisen come to life. Unfortunately, there's not much to say without ruining things. However, the addition to the game is a bit darker. I recommend that you read up on biblical references if you want the best view, but I won't spoil anything. Many people argue whether the ending was necessarily good or bad. So given the length and detail put into it, despite the faults and unexplained aspects, the story stands fairly strong. But there's more to the story after that as well. You create your own character (and a companion) to set off on your task, doing quests and slaying monsters along the way, until you finally come to slay the dragon.
There's undertones of Christianity and faith, as well as alot of your typical medieval themes of humanity and sacrifice. Dragon's Dogma is your classic fantasy adventure of slaying a dragon and saving a kingdom that gets much deeper the further you go. Just a quick explanation to new players about what the game holds. I'll talk about the changes made and then review them as a whole. So it's different from the original, but not entirely. In short, this version of DD came with the DLC called Bitterblack Isle, along with a few changes to the system such as combat, quests, and visuals. So it's wise to read up on the first Dragon's Dogma before looking into Dark Arisen. This review stems from the changes made from the original game to the Xbox One version, not just the game itself.
