Dragon Age: The Veilguard

The perfect follow-up to this amazing series.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a fantastic action-rpg that, after a bumpy start, delivers the best story in the series.

While it looks and plays differently than past Dragon Age games, Dragon Age: The Veilguard doesn't abandon either its rich trove of lore or ability to tell engaging stories. Dragon Age: The Veilguard has memorable characters and action-focused combat that contains more than enough depth to see it through to the end. Polished and confident, Dragon Age: The Veilguard feels like a return to form for the developer. Dragon Age: The Veilguard gives us a beautiful world to experience, interesting companions to explore it with, and action that grows increasingly more nuanced throughout.

Bioware has done it again: creating a cast of characters we would die for. The main story is uninspired and the flashy combat gets a bit stale after dozens of hours, but our love for the Veilguard remains.

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.

The Veilguard is not the sequel I dreamed of ten years ago, when the Inquisition's credits rolled on my screen. Nonetheless, the game reassured me that there are still people at BioWare who sincerely respect and love the Dragon Age world. However, if the series is to return to its golden age, the developers cannot allow themselves to take shortcuts and water down the key elements that made it special in the first place.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an objectively well-made product that is perfectly playable and it’s both empowering and entertaining. But it’s also nothing more than a product, finely tuned for passive consumption, right off the content mill.

Flipsurana review was pretty bad... But for who actually played the game, and is not playing watching the wall rather than the screen, it's a really good game!

lors ce qu'il a etait annoncé au xbox game showcase de 2024 pendant que la majorité detesté le jeu ou que d'autre apprecier pour moi c'etait bof et ok et quand le jeu etait sorti il y avait eu une campagne de review bombing sur ce jeu organisé pas des masculiniste comme grummz ou encore en france par slapp qui a dit de metre un 0 a ce jeu alors que pour moi c'etait injuste de faire ca bref pour en revenir au jeu il y a quelque point positif de ce dragon age le 1er c'est la création de perso qui est bien travaillé notamment la physique des cheveux qui est bien fait le 2ème c'est le perso principal qui peut etres attachant parfois en pas mal c'est les compagnon il y a certain que j'aime bien comme Bellara, Davrin et Taash (meme si des fois c'est moyen) pour les autres ca va comme Harding et Emmrich et les derniers c'est moyen comme Neve et Lucanis pour les antogoniste ils sont pas mal aussi notamment Solas apres pour moyen c'est plutot la direction artistique qui certe est bien mais c'est des fois bizzare les combats c'est bien mais sans plus pour le Négatif ca serais le systeme rpg le note du jeu est 7/10

If you take aside all the non binary situation, the game is absolutely fantastic. Good graphics, story, and the gameplay is also amazing. I have to admit I was pushed away by all the critics player did, and in the end, the woke conversations were minimal. But I still think the game would have been better with more charismatic companions. There is not a single stunning woman character. It's a bit weird, and while you play as a good looking character, I find it hard to believe I would have a relationship with those people.

I couldn't make it through this. Look how they massacred my boy! I'm not even talking about Dragon Age. I'm talking BioWare. I'll pour one out for the homies tonight, I think.

Finally took it upon myself to play this game after a while delaying it. For the record, I consider DA:Origins a classic and masterpiece of dark fantasy RPG. DA II was a terrible mess and Inquisition was only marginally better. I would rank DA:Veilguard as a little above DA II, but below Inquisition. The main issue is that the overall game itself was considerably dumbed down to something that would appeal to middle school age kids rather than adults. You can see this easily in the dialogues between the characters. I can't stand the positive psychology and identity affirmation pep talks between characters. This is not Oprah, it's supposed to be an epic, dark RPG. It feels that besides the pieces of lore one accumulates in the Codex, the writing team was subpar quality and the product just feels lame from a story and dialogue perspective. Contrary to Origins, don't expect to feel anything for the characters. Needless to say, despite the attempts to reuse some of the characters and settings of old (e.g., Darkspawn), the dark fantasy elements are minimal. Visuals are not bad, although bright colours are emphasized. The game really falls down when it comes to character animations, especially the faces. EA seems to have learnt nothing from the ME:Andromeda disaster. I have never seen such ridiculous facial expressions and smirks. Combat is now action-oriented with plenty of button-mashing, and gone is the tactical focus of early DA. So in a nutshell, I would say that the game is on par with other offerings from this company. Same model, same issues, same lame story and dialogues, trying to appeal to younger children.
