Dragon's Dogma 2 has a demo out now, showcasing the part of the sequel we're all looking forward to the most - its character creator. Much like the first game, Dragon's Dogma 2's character customisation options are incredibly intricate, and now with the improved graphics, fans are making some stunning characters.

You don't need a subscription to any particular service or a pre-order to play it, unlike other game demos.

This is a pretty safe bet, given how many of us spent hours on end perfecting our characters whenever a game lets us make our own.
What's less exciting, however, is the confirmation that Dragon's Dogma 2 will run at "around" 30fps on console,
