I don't like how the game acts like an idiot to you, that intrusive mini-map, those pink question marks, it's a disgrace. I know Dragon Quest is a game for the whole family, but hey, in part 8 I just had a compass and my desire to explore, in part 11 that's gone because the mini-map does everything for me.
The main problems with the game are casualness and Unreal Engine
4. The casualness of the game is that all the mobs are very weak, very. Even if you skip most of the enemies - still you are always strong and you don't have to think. If you turn on the difficulty boost, the game on the contrary will make you grind a lot. It feels like nobody tested the game in terms of combat system and tried to make just a very easy combat system. The problem with Unreal Engine
is that almost all games made on it look dead and this game is no exception.
At the same time it borrows its own ideas, like the same prince who lies to his father, which was already in the great eighth part, which was done WAY worse than in the eighth part. An item like holy water is completely devalued due to the fact that mobs are now visible on the map. The new music, well, it's there, but it's not good, the good thing is the old great music.
Anyway, verdict. Those who have NEVER, I repeat, NEVER played a jrpg, in principle in games little played, books have not read - he will like it. Everyone else - play 8, look for mods for graphics and be happy. This game is not worth it.
Never play this game if you respect rpg and one of the greatest game series, it breaks what it has been building for almost 30 years. No more searching for books, no more complexity of battles, stealing story arcs from the greatest 8th part, turning the whole world into a "gut", camping that causes the hotels in the city to lose all their original meaning, lifeless world on one of the worst game engines of anreal 4. Better play the godlike 8th installment, the great 5th, the epochal 7th on Nintendo 3DS, the first 3 installments on SNES(Waiting for the new remake of the 3rd installment), including don't miss the 4th on Nintendo DS and give the 6th on the same platform a chance. But don't play the 11th part. It's a disgrace.
