10 Open-World Games That Punish You For 100%
4. Dragon's Dogma
If you bother to complete most of the side quests in Dragon's Dogma, let alone all of them, prepare for the rest of the main story to feel like a joyless chore, given how easily you'll just steamroll through it.
Once you reach level 30, there's little in the main game that'll be anything beyond a mild inconvenience, enough that fans have even created mods to change how much XP is doled out throughout.
As terrific as the combat is in Dragon's Dogma, it can't fully compensate for how easily it can become a challenge-devoid experience, though the enhanced Dark Arisen edition did at least provide a few welcome tweaks to the overall difficulty level.
All the same, for a game with a level cap of 200, you'll be able to wipe the floor with most everything long before that, and the power fantasy of being an unstoppable juggernaut doesn't quite paper over the eventual boredom that sets in.
