I have appreciated this series for years and once I jumped into this game it was better than I expected. Definitely worth while pick up for the sales price!

Dragon Age The Veilguard is a good game action rpg with flaws, the writing it's weakest part. I've played through the game several times and have had fun playing it everytime. The action, combat...etc is good but the dialogue is pretty bad especially with the character Taash, it just wasn't needed and really didn't fit the overall story.

I pre-ordered this because I was curious about it. I sat out the last two iterations of Dragon Age. I played the original on PC when it was first released and loved it. You felt that your choices in the game mattered to the story arc. So, I figured what the heck, I’ll give this one a try. What follows are my thoughts. 9 hours into the game. The graphics of the game are spectacular. Some of the views in the game you just want to look at and admire. That being said, once you’re in the cities, while they look nice, they are mostly window dressing. You can’t interact with citizens at all. They may have a blurb here or there about their life or the situation, but that is it. Not much to work with. The main quests are the bread and butter of the game, and you will spend a lot of time, of course, on them. But the side quests are relatively boring for me so far. Mostly helping a companion discover her new powers or something like that. Pretty boring. Also, there is a romance system. However, I don’t find anyone attractive enough to date my version of Rook. So, there is that. The fighting system is where the game really loses me. I love a good turn-based fight in an RPG. Sadly, they take the route of Final Fantasy VII's fighting system, and it is hack and slash. This is combat at its most basic, and enemies are pretty boring. I have set the game on story mode now so I can blow through the combat and beat this 75-dollar investment. Finally, the story is fairly standard, and so far, I don’t feel like my decisions have any meaning in how the story plays out. The banter between the characters can be fun, and we’ll see where it goes. Overall, it’s a pretty meh game, to be honest. I’ll still beat it, as there is nothing new to play for me. I will also say I feel like Bioware is no longer the gaming powerhouse they once were. I do not have great hopes for the next Mass Effect, as I feel like they have officially lost their way. Hope this helps.

This game has fun mechanics and gets your mind into the fantasy world, but lacks in what made me love dragon age inquisition. The world is not very open and feels small. You are limited to 3 skills vs the multitude prior which only allows for a small variety. You can't play as your comrades, but can use their support skills. They story is alright, with random garbage filler stuff that doesn't add to character depth. I would only recommend this game if it is under 15 dollars

The combat is much improved over the previous iterations. The story is just as compelling. There are a couple of moments where it feels like things could have been explained better, but overall, the game is a great return to form by Bioware. Ignore the hate from the agenda fueled “reviews”. I’d give it a 9 out of 10.

So far the game has been exceptional. I can see elements of Mass Effect, God of War (mostly in exploration), and Hogwart Legacy. All games that I thoroughly enjoy. I've especially liked the story so far and exploration, and how much backgrounds affect dialogue. Do take this review with a grain of salt though since I'm only a quarter into the game.

Overall, it was just okay. If you are hoping it will be close to Origins or Inquisition then prepare to be disappointed, however, it is overall entertaining and fun to play.

This game has IGN rating of 9/10 so I picked up when it was on sale for $10. The game was well narrated, amazing graphics, and fantastic storyline. The best feature is the accessibility which allows you to throttle down the difficulty for casual gamers like me. I have no time to grind and this game delivers on that promise. Highly recommended for all gamer types.

Having heard all the things everyone had to say about it, ultimately Dragon Age The Veilguard comes down to being a quality, well-made, and fun RPG, with engaging combat and a good story, and that's all I could really ask from it.

Not a bad game, but definitely wasn't what I was expecting from a Dragon Age game. They seem to have gone down a more cartoony and PG-13 kind of vibe... Most characters seem like they are in high school. Seems more like they're more focused on grabbing the younger crowd than appeasing us old folk that grew up on the games. The combat is entertaining, though. I'm a completionist, so I've been slowly pushing through to the end by doing 1 or 2 side quests per session and then stopping for the day. I was excited and bought it as soon as it launched for $70, but definitely don't feel like it was worth the money.
