Disclaimer: Since this is a review-in-progress, the final score is subject to change.
It’s been 12 excruciating, miserable years, but BioWare has finally made a pretty good video game again.
And if “pretty good” is all Dragon Age: The Veilguard is, then so be it. This is not a generational RPG on the same level as Baldur’s Gate 3, nor does it reach the modern BioWare heights of Mass Effect 2. But after 30 hours, I’ve settled into a largely positive rhythm with Veilguard, thanks to its mostly strong (if a little cloying) character writing, best-in-the-series combat, and a focused, dense game design philosophy that prioritizes quality over quantity in side quests.
Ah crap, I accidentally let out some evil gods
Whoops! You don’t look very nice.
