Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is harder than the base game, and players love it

Capcom's Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion is out and noticeably harder than the base RPG. Lost Rites dungeons are tuned for level 20 and the Forsaken Dominion questline in Norgan for level 40, yet even level 80 and 275 characters are getting shredded by regular mobs. Players are praising the tougher, smarter enemies.

• Level 80 and 275 characters are dying to regular mobs and the dragon
• The expansion scored higher than the first game's DLC
