    Absolutely stunning. 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.

    This gameplay is so fun. It feels very much like an Elder Scrolls game, but with Dragon Age elements (companion interaction, amazing dialogue) that combine the best of both worlds. This game is huge. It takes up 40+ HD space and you will get the most for your money. The graphics, smoothness of gameplay, and audio are splendid.

    Lol at the people who are giving this a 0, I literally saw one guy write "I'm giving this a zero to balance it out" it's like, do you have a life at all bro? Hahaha, anyway, this game is amazing, totally makes up for da2, Roy elements we've been waiting for since dao. graphics are awesome and dragon fights are solid.

    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.

    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.

    I dont really think this game is that great. It really reminds me of Twilight Princess on the Wii.

Its a trivial time waster thats it. Like Twilight Princess the game looks fabulous and sounds fabulous but in my opinion the gameplay is rather boring and too much like going to work or being a systematic drone (game zombie). When I play a fantasy based rpg i expect to get lost in a world and have strange obstacles to overcome. My expectations are not to be given a list of things to do as if im at work and my employer wants me to get stuff done. To me that is not a game it is a checklist to occupy your time. This game is expansive and deserves a lot of credit for beautiful art and sound and a nifty inventory of stuff but the characters and how you occupy your time are not that great or interesting. This is my opinion you don't have to agree but I'd rather have a rpg fantasy actually be an rpg fantasy and this game is not that its stunning visuals and a list of things to do and after 100 hrs yeah you will probably be at the end of the discs software.… Expand

    I can't believe I payed full price for this. I feel so deceived.

    The gameplay is klunky and substantially worse than in Dragon Age 2. It is like playing an MMO or something, you hold down the trigger and mash buttons, while the AI takes over the companions. There really is no need to even fight, you might as well just let the AI completely take over. It is so unbelievably boring. The    I can't believe I payed full price for this. I feel so deceived.

There really is no need to even fight, you might as well just let the AI completely take over. It is so unbelievably boring. The tactical combat from past games is completely non-existant. The new tactical mode for consoles is broken and completely unusable. Characters are completely boring and the writing is the worst in any Bioware game to date. This game is even worse than ME3 or DA2! They probably spent more time on "sexytime" romance options for Iron Bull than on actual gameplay. -____-

    I was a huge Bioware fan for many years, but I have come to the realization that Bioware is dead and has been replaced by EAWare. This is the last EAWare game I will ever buy, I am done with them.    … Expand

    I'm playing it for a couple of hours now, and it's amazing! Dragon age lore is so complex, you can explore for hours trying to discover more about the world.

    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!

    I hate these people giving this a 0, what is wrong with you? This game is incredible. Are you really that butthurt over it not being completely perfect in every way? I'd give it a 9/10 at it's worst.

    When you think of fantasy RPG in your head, this is that vision. One might argue Skyrim is also a great fantasy RPG, while I would say yes, that isn't exactly the vision people would have as a fantasy RPG in their heads.

    Awesome game, great story and that graphics! First real "next-gen" game. 80-120 hours here I come! Great controls, however the control of the AI team members could be better. Therefore I give it a 9/10

    My first impression is just: WOW!!
    After all those Shooters and Sportsgames there finally is a decent RPG on the PS4 and a really, really good one...
    The graphics are awesome, character customization options are plenty, combat mode different of what you are known from other RPGs, but really really great and the Story seems to be pretty decent as well (at least the part that i have    My first impression is just: WOW!!

    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.

    Possibly the best RPG of new gen, it combines Skyrim's expansive world with actual depth. The characters are interesting and well written and the combat is fun.

    * Amazing atmosphere, I haven't felt this giddy walking around and exploring since Skyrim... it's more polished though, with only the odd graphical oddity.
    * Origins level, if not better, writing.
    * Controller+PC = The most fun way to play. The UI for KB+M is lovely, but the movement is much, much better on controller..... they very much tailored EVERYTHING to work better on the gamepad    * Amazing atmosphere, I haven't felt this giddy walking around and exploring since Skyrim... it's more polished though, with only the odd graphical oddity.

    * 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.
    * GOTY shoe in from what I've played.. it's the Dragon Age game you have been waiting for since finishing Origins, believe the hype.    … Expand

    First Dragon Age game!

    I'm not an expert on this game, but after 5 hours of playing the story I like it a lot. It's slow at the start but then it kind of sets you free. I love the music and the atmosphere, the graphics aren't the best but I can live with that. The characters have... character. Which helps a lot with not making it feel dull. I could change my rating but right now I'm    First Dragon Age game!

    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!

It's not game-breaking like Skyrim but it hold it's ground. 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.
