Dragon's Dogma 2 Players Are Hitching A Ride On The Sphinx To Get Around
Dragon's Dogma 2 will have you doing a lot of walking, and I mean a lot. It's part of the game's satisfying gameplay loop, having you trek across vast swathes of wilderness, fighting off everything from little goblins to enormous griffins.
