Alternatively to Dragon's Dogma and the usual RPG, players may instead wish to enjoy a game that they can experience with others. One great example of this is actually Black Desert Online. Players can choose from a variety of classes, customize their character, and then begin their adventure with another interesting story.

Be it alone, or with others, there is plenty for a player to get up to that doesn't just include the main story, such as crafting and hunting. Black Desert Online may even be a game a player enjoys even after Dragon's Dogma 2 releases.

17 Rise Of The Ronin

Metascore: 76

As Dragon's Dogma itself is an action RPG title, players may be tempted to play other games that are of a similar genre. That's where other new titles that were released in 2024 alongside the release of Dragon's Dogma 2, may be a temptation for some players.

Rise of the Ronin is sure to scratch that action RPG itch as many players adored the combat of this most recent Team Ninja title. This game also allows players to customize two characters, like Dragon's Dogma, which players are likely to get very attached to throughout their adventure.

16 Wartales

Metascore: 80

Besides the horrific and challenging monsters players had likely fought during their time with Dragon's Dogma, another feature many enjoyed about this Capcom title is the vast world players were free to explore and saw them visit multiple towns, kingdoms, and lairs of evildoers.

Wartales may be an RPG that uses a different style of combat, but its large open world rivals that of Wartales as players adventure across a land set in the medieval with many more dangers to face. Players can also recruit companions like in Dragon's Dogma to make their time on the road easier, but the challenge will still remain.

15 Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Metascore: 83

The Assassin's Creed franchise has transformed over the years with the most recent titles, such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Assassin's Creed Valhalla, both attempting to play like actual RPGs. This has led the franchise in a different direction from what many were used to, though it has also opened the game up to other players.

Players that enjoyed Dragon's Dogma are sure to enjoy their time in Odyssey due to the mythical bosses that can be found around the map that break up the main story that stays mostly in reality.

14 Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor

Metascore: 84

Fans of the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings that are looking for another large fantasy world to explore, like Dragon's Dogma, should look no further than Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. While the game may not have a pawn system, it has something quite similar, as players take various orcs under their command.

Some of these orcs may even claim vengeance on the player, making each playthrough unique as different events occur. Players may be against some of those orcs, but bringing them under their command may cause them to become attached, as some of these orcs even save the player's life.

13 Fable

Metascore: 85

In comparison to other RPGs, Dragon's Dogma isn't one of the oldest titles, as the original was released in 2012. However, those who are looking for a classic role-playing experience that predates Dragon's Dogma will find exactly what they are looking for with the original Fable.

Fable is a franchise that many Xbox players cherish, with the original Fable being by far the best. What makes it even greater is it can now even be enjoyed on PC with Fable Anniversary, which gives all players a remastered look at the title.

12 Dragon Age: Inquisition

Metascore: 85

Continuing with the theme of dragons, Dragon Age is another RPG franchise that is a great fit for those who are looking for another title that is like Dragon's Dogma. With a group of companions for the player to learn more about, as well as a story that gives players various choices, Dragon Age: Inquisition is an authentic role-playing game that will have players finishing it multiple times.

Other than that, Dragon Age: Inquisition is another game with multiple side quests that players are more than likely to get lost in when they should be completing the main story.

11 Diablo 4

Metascore: 86

Diablo is another franchise that has proceeded to entertain players over the years, with the most recent release of Diablo 4 attracting even more players to the title. Action RPGs like Diablo can be just as entertaining as the hack-and-slash of Dragon's Dogma, as players are required to learn the best combo of abilities to quickly defeat their enemies.

Players can then take these skills they have learned through attacking regular enemies to challenge themselves through intense battles with world bosses that are sure to keep many players on their toes.

10 Devil May Cry 5

Metascore: 87

Dragon's Dogma isn't the only action title that Capcom has created over the years, as the Devil May Cry franchise is another popular series that has had players hooked. Devil May Cry 5 is a great title for both old and new players of the franchise to try.

9 Monster Hunter Rise

Metascore: 88

Players don't need to find a different developer to enjoy something else instead of Dragon's Dogma, as Capcom has made a variety of titles from those that play similarly to the title to others that are nothing like it. Those who wish to remain gaming in a way that is like the RPG should look no further than Monster Hunter Rise.

Monster Hunter Rise has all the difficulties of Dragon's Dogma, if not more, as it challenges players to take down ginormous monsters in the hope of harvesting their resources to use in their armor and weapons.
