Is it still worth playing?

Capcom's 2012 action role playing game, re-released in 2013 as Dark Arisen with all the earlier downloadable content and a new expansion. In Gransys, a high fantasy land inspired by Sicily, you are the Arisen, on a quest to defeat the dragon Grigori. It is an open world game in third person, where you pick a vocation such as fighter, mage or strider, each with skills learned with discipline points earned in battle. You create your own main pawn, and two secondary pawns you control only partly, which can be recruited online, come with you. Combat is action based, and giant monsters have weak spots that you reach by climbing across their bodies. The Dark Arisen expansion is a maze of caves and ruins beneath Bitterblack Isle, with the toughest monsters. Climbing onto a giant monster to hit its weak spot still makes every big fight feel like scaling a mountain.
