Critic Reviews

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.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will undoubtably be my 2024 Game of the Year. I was fully engaged for my 100+ hour run, leaving me both and fulfilled and bittersweet when it came to an end. While additional content from BioWare would be a welcome addition, the game stands strong as a complete experience. I’m already looking forward to diving back in for another run.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is very much destined to be a decisive experience due to its more action-orientated combat, its cast of characters, visual style, and its writing. While I don't agree with every choice made here, and a few less than impressive character arcs, as well as the lacking presence of its elven gods in its story, Dragon Age: The Veilguard gave me everything else I wanted from it. It's action-packed and visually pleasing, and its use of Solas is extremely well-crafted and more than kept me entertained. Dragon Age was always going to be a challenge to remain relevant and a crowd-pleaser after a decade away, but ultimately, I loved it and it's one of the best games this year.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard shows a BioWare that wants to return to telling great single-player stories and taking us to fantastic places, but it only partially succeeds due to limited combat, a narrative with significant quality shortcomings compared to the past, and a technical aspect that suffers from the various identity changes the game has undergone over the years. Nevertheless, the new Dragon Age still remains fun to play, enticing to explore, and brimming with riches to experience and discover; thus, it deserves a chance from gamers.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard may not be the return fans have hoped for but its colorful world and action focused gameplay combined with wonderful writing for its characters still make this a solid RPG.
