Dragon's Dogma is one of the RPGs that surprised me the most. The game's affinity system needs improvement because it becomes confusing without researching how it works. The game doesn't explain this at any point, but I believe it was the creators' intention. The combat is very, VERY GOOD. A mix of Monster Hunter with Shadow of the Colossus and the story, ESPECIALLY THE PLOT TWIST NEAR THE END, is very, very surprising. I really liked it. I wish there were more choices that would change the ending, but I still liked it a lot. Highly recommend. Play it!
