In this spoiler-free review of Dragon Quest XI, SuperDerek examines whether or not Dragon Quest XI delivers that AAA role-playing experience he's been waiting for!

Welcome back to The Game Collection! Dragon Quest XI is a game that I've been excited to take a look at since it was first announced. After all, it was the first numbered Dragon Quest to make its way to the West on a console since my all-time favorite, Dragon Quest VIII! Does Dragon Quest XI deliver the AAA role-playing experience I've been waiting for? Let's find out!
SuperDerek Intro
In Dragon Quest XI the game begins with our teenaged protagonist taking part in a coming of age ritual in the village of Cobblestone, alongside his lifelong friend Gema. During the ritual, a monster attacks the two. In his attempt to save Gema from careening off the side of the spire, a new power awakens from within our hero, saving the day. Our hero soon sets off to find out what this power is, what it's for, and what it means to be The Luminary.
The story of the game builds slowly, and somewhat predictably, at least at first. There's a strange sense of familiarity to the way the story unfurls, echoing the stories we've been hearing since childhood. I think that lulled me into a false sense of security because just when I least expected it, the game managed to completely blindside me, sending me reeling. Dragon Quest XI is the kind of game that feels like the story was composed thoughtfully. It has a certain rhythm to it that sucked me into the world of Erdria for hours on end.
