The chapter delves into the performance challenges of Dragon's Dogma 2 on PC, critiquing its demanding nature on CPUs and lack of optimization, especially on the Steam Deck. It also explores the chaotic combat mechanics in the game, discussing NPC pawns, boss encounters, and the importance of choosing a melee class for engaging gameplay. Mixed opinions on customization, performance improvements, and gameplay issues like the pawn system and limited saves are also touched upon.
