uhh i used a code to get it for $22 on greenmangaming instead of 30. not a huge sale but w/e
i think if you liked dark souls, theres a chance youd like the game. i have a problem with that type of recommendation because a part of me wants to say "you liked the one so youd like something similar" but a part of me can imagine someone saying "ugh i hate this its similar enough for everything different to be so wrong"
that being said, i think where dark souls is good for its action and tension dragon's dogma is good for its adventure and exploration. and honestly, i think the dark souls games have very rigid controls and you cant do much but stab and roll (i know dark souls nerds are probably upset at that description)
but special attacks in DD (you have basic light and heavy attacks- for a sword user its slash vs stab, with a staff its shoot a bolt vs swing your staff) are so various and cool. there are attacks that FLING enemies into the air, there are attacks that launch you in the air to strike across or down to enemies, attacks that will slice and then make you backstep. and these are just melee. there are some typical elemental magicks but then the dark magic is boss, being able to petrify enemies is really cool
honestly i cant promise that a person will LIKE it but there is no doubt in my mind that this game is good. the story is even sorta cool, not extravagant but interesting enough and not insulting. my only complaint about the PC release so far is that the menus are not ported well and you cant move your map with the mouse, you have to use the arrow keys??
