A new Dragon's Dogma 2 mod that is now available for download for free brings significant image quality improvements for all textures without actually altering any of them.
The Unofficial Texture Pack, which can be downloaded from Nexus Mods, forces the game always to load the highest quality normal maps while addressing a compression error that can affect all textures, resulting in much higher visual quality in most scenarios with little impact on performance, as the mod is extremely light on VRAM.
While CAPCOM focuses on addressing some of the game's biggest issues, it's been up to modders to improve the Dragon's Dogma 2 gameplay and visuals. Last week, a mod introducing path tracing to the game alongside a few other visual options was released online, allowing users to bring the game's visuals to the next level.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. You can learn more about the game by checking out Alessio's review.
This review may read quite negatively, but it's only because of the lofty expectations that surrounded Dragon's Dogma 2. The original game was an amazing foundation to build upon, and yet CAPCOM seemed content with keeping the same strengths without improving much on the weaknesses. Twelve years later, though, the effect cannot be the same. Still, make no mistake: Dragon's Dogma 2 is a highly enjoyable fantasy action/adventure with RPG elements that will provide you with about 40 hours of pure fun. Its peerless sense of exploration, meaty combat system, and stunning visuals will motivate you throughout the entire playthrough. Just don't expect to find a fantasy world simulator or, indeed, a narrative worth remembering.
