Professional reviews from gaming critics
Dragon Age: Inquisition has everything that a fantasy RPG fan wants. Incredible customizable options, an intricate story, moving soundtrack and large unique environments filled with activities. The game does suffer from minor glitches that can be easily solved with future patches, but never detract from the overall experience. Dragon Age: Inquisition is not only one of the best RPG’s released this year but easily a contender for Game of the Year, if you love RPGs get this game.
With a critical path story line alone that takes up to 50 hours to complete, BioWare has gone above and beyond the demands and expectations placed upon them (while charting a course that we hope Mass Effect will also follow). We've yet to play through everything the game has to offer, but the level of polish and nuance in what might amount to half of the overall experience is enough to drive the point home.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is the game that Dragon Age II should have been. Set in one of the most diverse and awe-inspiring game worlds in quite some time, Inquisition will have you searching every nook and cranny, spreading your influence as far as you can get it. Let down by a few bugs and some questionable design choices, it's still one of the year’s best RPGs. Easily.
Inquisition is an excellent return to form after the claustrophobic, rushed Dragon Age 2, an exciting and sprawling colossus of a game that rewards the player at every turn. The first act is a little slow to get going, but once the story has its hooks in you and the true scale of the world opens up before your eyes, it’s easy to forgive early problems with pacing and a slightly lacklustre combat system. It says something that after around forty-five hours of gameplay I was disappointed that...
A worthy addition to the Dragon Age series, but it takes some time to prove it.
BioWare is the king of roleplaying games. From Baldur’s Gate and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic to Jade Empire and the Mass Effect trilogy, the Canadian developer has honed its craft, delivering games that blend compelling interactive storytelling with tactical combat, exploration and character development.
“Dragon Age: Inquisition is an incredible game -- one that’s almost too big for its own good.”
Dragon Age: Inquisition combines the storytelling BioWare is known for, with deep RPG gameplay, all on a brand new RPG game engine underpinned by EA’s Frostbite 2 technology.
Dragon Age Inquisition's multiplayer is fun, but could use more variety.
The other issue is that players will seem like the game is all side-quests and grinding to begin with. The biggest thing here is to leave the Hinterlands as soon as possible; effectively this is a starting area. Side quests do not disappear or fade during the game and can always be returned to later, making grinding something less-key than expected.
