Dragon Age: The Veilguard Review

"Dragon Age is back." I never expected that I'd have to wait so long before being able to say that sentence again, but I can now, thanks to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, BioWare's continuation of the series. It comes out nearly a decade after Dragon Age: Inquisition, and while the game's long, protracted, and by all accounts very rough development period shows all over The Veilguard, the end I came away with the feeling that almost in spite of itself, The Veilguard is a worthy follow-up to its predecessors, at times reaching some all-time series highs.

[...]

At tht risk of speculating, it's in these frustrations that I get the most vivid impression of the Dragon Age: The Veilguard's long and messy development. The seams and rough edges feel like the result of the development team at least in part rearranging and adapting existing work and ideas to suit the game's vision, but lacking the resources or ability to make them shine as they should.

But though it's ultimately held back its shortcomings, the other highs of Dragon Age: The Veilguard - its characters, its storytelling, and its sense of personality - make the game easy to like despite the flaws. The issues may be harder to look past for some, but others will find joy in the things it does do well.

Score: 7/10
