10/10

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a triumph for BioWare in practically every way. It brings together the best bits of all the games that have come before it, pairing an intricately woven narrative ripe with genuine choice and consequences with a fast, frenetic and endlessly satisfying combat system. The Veilguard is, without a doubt, Dragon Age at it’s best.

As two Elven Gods have returned, the fate of Thedas relies on Rook, an unlikely hero who will gather their allies in order to save the lands from the poison that is the blight and have to rely on help from the Dreadwolf himself, Solas.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is more than just another release in a beloved role-playing franchise. It’s also the first single-player RPG from BioWare, a team whose bread and butter was once this exact type of game, in over seven years. With a beautiful collection of hub worlds to explore, fun and fast action combat, and a memorable cast of characters to share in the adventure, I was impressed throughout my long runtime with Veilguard. And though the central narrative left me wanting, the pers...

Though Veilguard plays it too safe too often, this update on a Bioware structure is addictive. It takes a while to get used to its presentation, but once it starts dishing out punches there is no going back.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard isn’t BioWare’s best work, but it’s good. Offering a beautiful world and a ton to do, heading back into Thedas is an easy choice for some. For others, the downgrade in writing and limited combat might be a dealbreaker.

Discovering Dragon Age: Origins on the Xbox 360 was an adventure of a summer. I made six characters and completed the game at least three times. I have played all the Dragon Age games several times and spent hundreds of hours diving into Thedas. When Dragon Age 4 was announced,…

Dragon Age: The Veilguard delivers an approachable entry into the RPG genre with stunning visuals, charming companions, and action-focused combat. While its story and gameplay lack the depth of some modern RPGs, the world-building and character interactions shine.

Even after accounting for The Veilguard's numerous flaws, perhaps Bioware's greatest offense is also its most ironic: making a Dragon Age game that feels pathetically toothless.Reviewer's Note: Certain story praises and critiques require that I dive into SPOILERS for both The Veilguard and Inquisition.  Read [...]
