    Contender for game of the year. It's been a long wait, but man has it been worth it. Great battle mechanics, much to do (with purpose) and guess what? It doesn't fee grindy (say what?). This is because Bioware, does what it does well and offers solid STORIES. Not just a good main story, but hundreds of good side stories (so far). Thank you, Bioware!

The graphics are really good for a game this large. There were some points during the cutscenes where the framerate dropped but it didn't bother me too much. The story is pretty interesting and has me wanting to continue getting deeper into the game. Combat is fun and the tactical element proves really useful in sticky situations. At one point I was out in the forest and had to tackle a group of enemies when we all had low health and no potions left. Had i just ran in attacking we would have died but using some tactics i was able to kill all the enemies without anyone dying. All in all this is a really solid game and if you like RPGs this is something you should really consider buying.… Expand

    So far this game is HUGE improvement over Da2 ,instead of having only one race in the last game now has gone up to 4 and instead of having a very small world like the last game this one on the other hand has a huge massive land to explore and the combat has been improved the story is also engaging so far.This is a must play for fans of rpgs and a return to glory for Bioware.

    Great. Fluid. Combat. Easily the best game on PS4 right now. I plan on completing the game on nightmare and so far so good. The prologue was great and I can't wait to see what comes next!

    This game is just awesome. Massive and complex story, amazing characters, a vast world to explore and that special ingredient that is present in all bioware games: The ability to induce strong emotions in the player.

    I don't really understand all the negative about this game, i've put around 40 hours into Dragon age so far and I'm really loving this game, its honestly the best Rpg I have played since Skyrim. Maybe its just EA haters or something but its really a great and beautiful game well worth the 60 dollar purchase. IMO.

    Look at some of the reasons for the 0 and 1 scores. Hilariously childish.

    This game is amazing. A solid 9 without pause. The graphics (at least on the PS4 to a 50" Plasma) are stunning, gameplay is fluid, fighting is however you want it (smash-mouth, or stop and plan every move), the voice acting is superb (stick with the English male, however) and RPG elements are everywhere.

    One of the best RPG'S ever made. Gives Skyrim a run for it's money for sure. Amazing graphics, amazing story, and for the most part the game is extremely polished on the PS4 considering how massive this game is in size. Incredible! Well done Bioware!

    Anyone who gives it a 0 or 1 is a troll. This game is incredibly detailed. Graphics look great. Controls take a bit to get used to, but work plenty fine. A ton of customization, lots of choices. In 4 hours of playing, I have already seen my choices make an impact on the game. I would say this is game of the year. Awesome game, have loved playing it.

    I haven't yet finished this game but I have a feeling a lot of the people giving reviews here haven't either. With that said I believe a lot of the people here complaining are either trolls or have been playing on the awkward controls that is keyboard and mouse.

With that said I believe a lot of the people here complaining are either trolls or have been playing on the awkward controls that is keyboard and mouse.

    I ordered this game on Origin this morning and thought I'd give it a try since they offer a nice refund policy. After 27GB of download later I found myself quite disappointed with the results. My system met the recommended system requirements yet there were still quite a lot of stutters with framerates. I'm not particularly picky about graphics when it comes to these games especially when it offers a huge amount of content so lowering the settings to minimal helped a bit with that problem. However, there's also this problem with the controls on the keyboard and mouse that I have a major issue with. It made the game feel really cheaply made like a typical MMO with clunky WASD controls. Movement feels weightless and the controls for camera, aiming, and skills just don't seem solid enough. Also the tactical view is so disconnected from the game that it's like the game is constantly pushing you to play the third person mode instead. The camera work on tactical mode is just as bad sadly. I was hoping to get the sort of controls that was in dragon age where everything felt familiar and you have really solid control over the camera angles over fights.

    I suppose majority of the work went into the gamepad because after 30 mins I could not bare to play with the keyboard and mouse. I immediately plugged in my ds4 controller and my goodness, the controls were smooth and felt real really great. It was so good on the controller that it was like playing a whole different game. So right after that I decided to get a refund on origin and grabbed myself a ps4 copy and after a couple hours on the game, I must say, everything I read in the reviews are just spot on. This game could end up as one of my favourite games of all time and has a really good spot right beside skyrim.

    Moral of the story, do not play with keyboard and mouse, it's a nightmare!    … Expand

    I'll make this short and simple, Game of the year contender. Dragon age inquisition is one of the best rpg's I've played in a long time. Fun world, good characters and so many things to do. Between all the crafting and quests, it's easy to see 100's of hours spent playing this great game. Great job Bioware , thanks for making another great game.

The world is amazing even though it's not a big sandbox like in Skyrim, it still feels huge and give them the opportunity to make world completely different from each other without trying to make a logical transformation. The game seems at first very stricted and you feel very limited to the road from one place to the other but after a few hours the world really opens up. So far I have not done any side quest's (maybe 2 or 3) and just done the story quest and still it feels like I only completed 1% of the story.

    * Use Mantle if you are AMD GPU - I got a based god 10fps bump and everything just seems to look and run better when using the Mantle API.
    * Install on a SSD for sure, load times are next to none.. just long enough to read 1-2 of the cards then you're into the game.
    * Cut-scenes were a bit stuttery as well, until I used Mantle.. AMD cards and DX11 in this game don't like each other as much.
    * The best music I have ever heard in a game, and I'm only 10 hours in.. it's just...... spectacular.
    * The Storytelling, so far, is amazing... only bested by the superb atmosphere and character interactions.

    Dragon Age Inquisition takes the greatest aspects of a classic Bioware RPG and combines them with stunning visuals and an exploration system that is one of the best to date. Take all this and add a deep, emotional Bioware style story, and you have one of the best RPG's to date.

    Theres a ton of quests and areas to explore, you won't be completing it quickly. The world is visually stunning. There's a few minor bugs, but they are minor. 9/10. Worth the buy.

The combat is fluid and engaging, graphics are incredible and the game feels entirely expansive and open-world oriented, where chocies you make in the game actually have positive or negative consequences. Feels very close to a living, breathing fantasy world. Very happy with the 70 dollars I spent on this game for the Deluxe edition. Bioware, thou art redeemed in mine eyes.

Unfortunately it isn't a open world type of game but the many different locations are MASSIVE and extremely diverse, from a dessert to snow, to tropical rain forests, to ancient civilizations. The art, graphics, voice acting is very well done. If you look at the characters while they speak the movements of their jaws and lips matches their words very well, it is believable. Also the game characters have such diverse personalities and you want to know more about them. I love this game, the gameplay and combat system does need a little bit more work because I find the combat too easy. Nonetheless, the storyline, romance, drama, jokes, graphics, acting and more makes up for the game's minor problems. Very well done.… Expand
