Despite receiving glowing praise, Dragon’s Dogma 2’s rating on Steam could confuse many fans if they check it as of writing. Capcom’s latest release has a user rating of ‘Mixed’, and while an improvement from its previous “Mostly Negative” rating, the consensus amongst Steam users seems to be a disappointment.
Why Has Dragon’s Dogma 2 Received Negative Backlash?
The reception from critics about Dragon’s Dogma 2 has been extremely positive, which begs the question of its current rating. However, the ‘Mixed’ rating is largely a result of the surprise introduction of microtransactions as well as poor performance for many users. With no prior notice of the inclusion of microtransactions, players are upset at the prospect of monetizing in-game features like fast-traveling and changing character appearances.
