When this game was originally released on the 360 and PS3, I was too into Skyrim to care. I subsequently forgot about it, until it was free on PS Plus a few years later. Once I finally got around to playing it, I realized I missed out on what would become one of my all-time favorite games. The only thing holding it back on the PS3 was the frame rate (I got as low as 9 FPS!) and the black bars at the top and bottom (an attempt to help with the frame rate). Of course, the PS4 version is silky smooth and the black bars are gone.The game itself is an open world western style RPG, where you create not only your character, but a follower as well. You can however have multiple followers. So, how does that work you ask? No, there are no in-game NPCs to follow you, you actually choose characters created by other players! This is one of the few multiplayer features I've ever liked and I don't believe it requires PS Plus.The world is very big and only loads in towns (like Skyrim). The monster battles though are the best thing. They work sort of like Shadow of the Colossus, where you scale them and attack their weak points. What I found to work best if one person climbing the monster, one shooting it with arrows and one using magic.Dragon's Dogma even has romance, although the system is a bit quirky. (I won't spoil anything). Overall, it's a must have. (I bought it 4 times!)
