    Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen (Switch 2) Review: An Action RPG Great Returns In Fine Form

    A review of Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen finds the release marks the series' Nintendo debut and bundles the summer's updates with a new expansion. The new region of Norgan is an icy waste with snowy versions of existing foes and 12 Lost Rites dungeons, suggested for level 20, some with special restrictions. The Switch 2 version performs far better than at launch but still has longer loading times, occasional frame rate dips and a visual downgrade compared with PS5 Pro, with FSR 3 Frame Generation, a 30fps lock and a variable frame rate option in the settings.
