CapcomDragon\u2019s Dogma 2 is an interesting blend of genres but is the sequel to Capcom\u2019s latest open-world adventure a Soulslike game? The original Dragon\u2019s Dogma combined elements from various games into one rather strange, flawed, and beloved package. The game was a medieval fantasy adventure akin to the Elder Scrolls and Witcher series, although it also had strands of Monster Hunter DNA, sharing a lot of similarities with what some consider to be its sister franchise \u2013 also developed by Capcom. When the game got dark it also borrowed from the survival horror genre at times, but one of the games that Dragon\u2019s Dogma was also compared to frequently was FromSoftware\u2019s Dark Souls. Like the Soulsborne games, combat in Dragon\u2019s Dogma is weighty and should the player get their timings wrong then the game over screen will be a common sight. So, is Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 a Soulslike game? Is Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 a Soulslike game? No. Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 is not a Soulslike game. While the game\u2019s combat system is similar at times to that of FromSoftware\u2019s legendary death simulator, Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 has more in common with open-world adventures like Skyrim, The Witcher 3, and Monster Hunter World than it does with Dark Souls. However, since Souls games have also embraced open-world mechanics with Elden Ring we imagine that the comparisons between that game and Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 will be plentiful. This is because Elden Ring represented an evolution in the Soulslike genre, something the original Dragon\u2019s Dogma had already started loosely experimenting with. The good news is that if you\u2019re a fan of difficult open-world fantasy RPGs then Dragon\u2019s Dogma adventures should also appeal to most Souls fans.
