Dragon’s Dogma 2, the highly anticipated sequel from Capcom, has finally arrived after more than a decade of anticipation from fans. However, the game’s launch has been marred by controversy surrounding undisclosed microtransactions, leading to a flood of negative reviews on Steam.

The discovery of a significant number of microtransactions within the game has sparked outrage among players, with many feeling deceived by Capcom’s lack of transparency prior to release. As a result, approximately 62% of the 4,700 reviews on Steam (at the time of publishing) are negative.

These microtransactions cover various aspects of gameplay, including character edits, fast travel options, revives, and the purchase of in-game currency known as ‘Rift Crystals.’ While some players claim that Capcom included information about these microtransactions in the review guide, the majority were unaware of their existence until the game’s launch.

Furthermore, concerns have been raised about certain microtransactions introducing ‘pay-to-win’ mechanics, providing players with advantages that cannot be obtained naturally or without excessive grinding. One disgruntled Steam user expressed their frustration, likening Capcom’s actions to desecrating the essence of the beloved franchise.

In addition to the microtransaction controversy, PC users have also reported issues with optimization and the presence of Denuvo anti-tamper technology. Critics argue that Capcom’s failure to disclose the microtransactions in advance constitutes anti-consumer practices, further contributing to the negative reception of Dragon’s Dogma 2 on Steam.
