Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am still in the middle of this game and it is absolutely addicting! The environments are beautiful, the story is great, and even though the combat is not exactly what I hoped it would be it's still very good. I highly recommend this game to anyone that is looking for a true action RPG in a fantasy setting.

I got bored with the previous games in this series, but generally like Bioware and their style of storytelling. The best thing about this game is the sheer breadth of the environment. The game really opens up as far exploration goes, and is a huge improvement over the long hallways of the last two games.

Great story, nice graphics. Got it on sale which made it even better!

A bottle of eyedrops. I probably should have used a few bottles, actually, because I don’t think I blinked more than a handful of times during the dozens of hours I spent saving the land of Thedas from demonic hordes in the latest role-playing masterpiece from genre kingpin Bioware. Marrying the best bits from the first two Dragon Age games, it’s a must-have for gamers with plenty of time on their hands. It’s a daunting proposition for those new to the franchise, though. Inquisition is the third Dragon Age game, and while Bioware wisely tossed together a handy website that lets you quickly whip through the biggest decision points in the first two games to set up a “World State” for the new one, you’re probably best off playing through at least one prior Dragon Age before diving in. It’s not required, however, as Inquisition features a standalone story and casts you in the role of a brand-new character. You’re the Herald of Andraste, the unlikely survivor of a calamitous explosion that tore a hole in the sky and killed off a collection of world leaders. That hole was just one of many, and through these breaches pours a steady stream of toothy unpleasantness. So off you go, gallivanting across the land as a member of the fact-finding, world-saving Inquisition in an effort to heal old wounds, unite warring factions, plug up the sky holes, and find out who — or what — is behind the apocalyptic mess. Screenshot from Dragon Age: Inquisition It’s classic Dungeons and Dragons-esque stuff, letting players build a dwarf, elf, human, or bull-like Qunari hero using a shockingly powerful character creator. But where plenty of fantasy games let you cast spells and swing swords, Dragon Age: Inquisition lets you do these things on a scale not seen since the incredible The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It’s not an open world, however; each of the game’s many explorable regions is zoned off from the rest, though they’re all expansive and filled with enough sidequests, lore, and random encounters to easily blow up a few weekends. The frustrating linearity of Dragon Age II’s smallish areas have been ditched in favor of big, unique playgrounds in which to roam freely. The developers even saw fit to add a jump button, encouraging you to leap off a ledge and scour the wilderness for goodies. It’s a bit too clean compared to the glorious messiness of Skyrim, but it’s easily the best world-building we’ve seen yet in Dragon Age. You’ll spend the bulk of your time in the trenches, running missions, working through conversation trees, wooing possible mates, and fighting, fighting, fighting. The combat blends the fussy, pause-the-action strategy of the first game with the button-mashy action of the sequel, and it hums along nicely. Swapping between your four active party members (pulled from a much larger stable) is quick and easy, though most of the time you can just focus on your character and let the A.I. handle your companions. While you don’t need to micromanage this stuff, you certainly can (and likely will). I torched hours tweaking the gear, abilities, and even artificial intelligence of my party. Learning the ins and outs of each mage, warrior, and rogue is super helpful when you get into the bigger, nastier fights. That dragon isn’t going to just let you whack it on the foot for an hour, you know. There’s plenty to manage in Dragon Age: Inquisition. A war table lets you marshal spies, diplomats, and armies around Thedas to gather resources and open up new areas to explore. As the Inquisition’s influence spreads, you’ll gain permanent boosts and new dialogue options. Every ounce of energy you put into this game gives you something in return, and while it’s a little intimidating at first, soon enough you’ll find yourself joyfully flopping around in its myriad game systems like a kid in a ball pit. Veering off the main story is so easy, in fact, that it speaks to Bioware’s trouble keeping the plot focused and sharp. While the game’s huge cast of characters shines, Thedas’ complicated sociopolitical landscape occasionally drags the narrative into the weeds. Some of the game’s brightest moments — and most essential missions — lie off the beaten path. Screenshot from Dragon Age: Inquisition Dragon Age: Inquisition’s sheer size also proves problematic, though I experienced relatively few glitches playing the Xbox One version of the game (PS4 players have reportedly had a rougher go). An interface stallout here or there required me to backtrack to an earlier save. The old “Save early, save often” refrain definitely applies here. While it occasionally hiccups, Dragon Age: Inquisition is, at times, flat-out gorgeous. The creature design is terrific, recalling enemies from past games but dialing up the look and feel. The first time you encounter a dragon — in this case, a big, irritated one flying around, coughing up fireballs — you’ll marvel at its fluid movements and intimidating presence. Then you’ll die, because it’s a dragon, and you’re probably not ready for that yet. You’re also probably not ready to dive into the game’s multiplayer. Separated entirely from the solo campaign, it’s a story-free cooperative dungeon-crawling sort of affair in which you kill enemies and gain loot and gold. It’s not bad, but it’s not enticing either. It’s a wisp of weird icing on a 15-layer cake. Besides, you’ve got a land to save, a rogue to flirt with, a hole to fix, and a dragon to slay. Big, meaty, and unequivocally fun, Dragon Age: Inquisition improves upon the first two games in just about every way. Grab some Visine and give it a stab. 4.5 stars What’s hot: Big and pretty; great combat; deep customization; epic scope handled well What’s not: Main story occasionally drags; smattering of bugs; extraneous multiplayer Follow Ben right here on Twitter.

I would give this a five star rating, however I was hooked on Skyrim almost instantly. This has yet to draw me in. I know when I give it some more time I'll enjoy it a bit more. Still a great game - and no fault of it's own, I think I just have to many other games going on to really zero in and focus on any particular game. Enjoy and GAME ON!

FUN! This was a wonderful Christmas gift that has provided great fun for numerous hours. The animation is unbelievable and put you into the action of the game. This was a great buy from an on-line order with Best Buy. Both the arrival of the game and price could not be bet.

Popular choice by many publications for game of the year. It's certainly a top 5 game of the year, however the constant occurrence of bugs and glitches is rather annoying. Be sure to create multiple save files and do so often. This will help if you run into any major bugs.

I have Dragon Age Inquisition for the computer and the Xbox One. The game plays much smoother on the Xbox. This is a great follow up to the Dragon Age series. If you have enjoyed the previous Dragon Age games then I would highly recommend this one. If you have never played the previous games this is a good game to start with!

If you aren't prepared to throw hour after hour into this game, you're gonna be disappointed. Be honest with yourself, are you gonna make at least 3 hours at a time for this game? If the answer to that question is no, then I recommend looking elsewhere for a game. If the answer to that was yes, then get this baller RPG mang

I'm probably 50 hours in to this game. Great game, amazing graphics. The story is not the greatest story I've ever seen in a game, but it's certainly not the worst. Well worth the purchase price, especially if you are able to get it on sale or with GCU from BB.

Dragon Age Inquisition takes place several years after last episode and continues the adventures in the Dragon Age universe. The entire world is consistent with the previous stories and if you enjoyed them you will love this third installment all the more with a few surprises and changes in the story and game-play.

The game is great fun. Took me a little while to get used to the gameplay. The last console I played on was the ps2 when it came out. Ended up buying the Jaws of Hakkon DLC for it as well. Entertaining, just wish it was longer overall. Tons of side quests.

This game is the true successor to Dragon Age Origins. Now it helps a ton having played the first two games since it explains a lot of the conflicts in the game and establishes the lore of the world. However if you are a hard core RPG gamer, or even a casual RPG gamer this game is for you. Coming from my perspective I am a completionist, I cant move on with the story or move to a new region of the world without finishing everything I can in a zone. That being said after I was about 70hrs into this game I thought I might be nearing the half way point. NOPEEEE thats when the story moved forward and the game really opened up. The amount of content for the price is truely amazing. With all the games coming out that charge $60 for about 20hrs of singleplayer tops and some fun multiplayer experiences that eventually wear off, this game is the best one ive bought in years. You will have plenty to do and it deserves multiple play throughs. And for those of you who have played the first two and want to import your worlds over bioware has released a cool fill in the blank story model that is very fleshed out so all the choices from the first two can be imported to your game. I havent tried it yet and I dont know how well it works but the idea they took the time and effort to do just that impresses me. Regardless this game impresses me completely. So far best Next Gen game out there you can get.

So far this has been one of the best next gen games. I've been rather disappointed with the game lineup from both next gen consoles. I would recommend this game to any one. Worth the value in game length and content. There's so much to do in this game.

It can be hard to find good games now a day. This one was well worth it. If you enjoy adventure rpg style games this is one you shouldn't pass up. I don't tend to buy new games but feel this one would have been worth full price. If you have played any of the other dragon age games you'll love this one.

I have never been a RPG player. That being said, this was one of the most addicting games I have ever played. I did play the previous titles but never got hooked like I did with this one. Perfect game if you want to avoid everyone for a couple weeks.

I got this for my husband for Christmas last year and I, in turn, recieved the wife of the year award! He was so excited and he loves it! He and my son play together 4 or 5 days a week! Get the guide book that goes with. He says it helps a lot

If you're a fan of RPG's this is a great game. I starting playing and I haven't been able to put it down. There are 100's of hours of gameplay here. Choose your character and get lost in the action and the story. Highly recommended!

Dragon Age: Inquisition is a great RPG with a well thought out story. Each character is unique and the interactions between them is phenomenal. You'll feel attached to your group by the end of the game. Also, Dragon fights are awesome!!

I think the summary says it all. This game is the game of the year for many gaming websites. It has great game play, the graphics are beautiful and the RPG depth is great. It takes ~60 hours to complete, so it's well worth the money.
