‘Dragon Quest XI’ is simple, yet effective

 'Dragon Quest XI' is a simple yet effective piece of entertainment. It  gives the veteran 'Dragon Quest' player exactly what they have expected  from the franchise over the past 30 years: a fun, simple adventure.  However, it also gives the newcomer something incredibly digestible. For  those who have played 'Pokémon' or something of the like, it should be  an easy transition to pick up and play 'Dragon Quest XI.' Though the  music is not varied, and voice-acting is somewhat intrusive, 'Dragon  Quest XI' is a worthwhile, enjoyable experience. However, as noted  before, this likely will not change the mind of anyone who is JRPG  averse.
