It's fucking great. It plays a bit like a mix of Dark Souls and Monster Hunter, but more action packed. Note that it's not Dark Souls or MH, it just has a bunch of elements reminiscent of them. It has traditional quests(including filler shit sidequests), class based, skill based(as in, you use skills, not just weapon attacks strings like in Dark Souls/MH), you play with in a 4man party made up of AI named Pawns(1 you design yourself, the other 2 you recruits from a pool of randomized ones or online from the other player's personnal pawns). Combat is really where the game shines though, as it's old(so it doesn't look the best, still much better than on PS3 though obviously), the story is meh and the other RPG elements are very basic. But it's so fucking fun to play. Best part of combat is that you can climb on monsters, similar to Shadow of the Collossus kind of stuff.
Best comparison I'd say is Kingdom of Amalur, in terms of how it plays. They're very similar games, only that Dragon's Dogma is actually really good instead.
I think there's still codes for 25% off, so it's "only" 22$ or so, which is a more than fair price for a game that roughly has 40hours of content iirc. Can be a lot more since it has post game shit and farming randomized drops and what not, plus you might want to check out other classes too(there's 9 and while some are similar, there's a bunch that are very unique).
