    I guess the best way to put it is that if you don't like micromanaging combat this game gets very boring. Lots of little bugs make this a bit grating too of a game experience, needs serious polish to the input system. Very little to the story and uninteresting in the companions unlike previous games.

    Dragon Age Inquisition is a very good game. You really feel as though you are affecting the world constantly. However it didn't quite live up to all the promise it had. In demo' sat E3 & pax they showed things that never appeared in game, such as telling soldiers in a battle to save a town or to attack and then living with the consequences.

However it didn't quite live up to all the promise it had. In demo' sat E3 & pax they showed things that never appeared in game, such as telling soldiers in a battle to save a town or to attack and then living with the consequences. However your decisions in this game mattered none the less. You truly feel as if you are the head of an organization that is helping this world be a better place.

    The world itself is probably the biggest game on next gen so far. It consists of atleast 10 massive location from deserts to Forrest's to plains. The opponents are also varied as are the dragons. This game also has the best crafting system I have seen in a game. You can have dozens of furs, cloths, metals, or gems that all do different things to different armor or weapons you craft. The story isn't the best story ever, and the villain is dumbed down a bit. But the game isn't about the villain. It's about you and your followers, you build relationships with them all and delve into their pasts and their hopes and dreams. Based on the choices you make for them they can become a much different person from one play through to the next.

    This game also has hours upon hours of content. If you are one of those gamers that likes to 100% everything plan to play this game for 100's of hours. I put in over 200+ hrs on 2 speedster play throughs and didn't even do half the quests.

    The leveling system is ok but not great and I wish the skill trees branched out a little more. The combat could of been a little more complex but it satisfies none the less.

    At the end of the day as of right now dragon age is the best rpg on PS4 (transistors a close 2nd but it's too short) in terms of content you can't get more bang for your buck, and it's just fun. If you like RPG's you can't go wrong with this game. If your going to buy one game this year, if it was me, this would be it.    … Expand

    Modern RPG developers seem to forget that great games can be great games in SPITE of some things they do. For whatever reason this hasn't rung true for some companies. I suspect Bioware ( among many others ) has yet to grasp this.

For whatever reason this hasn't rung true for some companies. I suspect Bioware ( among many others ) has yet to grasp this.

    Lets start with questing. Using WoW ( the most popular MMORPG on the market and a clear influence on this title ) we see a lot of reused templates we'll call filler. Navigate to the exclamation points, pick up a quest, find it on the map and complete it for a little reward. This system works as delivery mechanism for content. The problem is the content it delivers usually has nothing to do with winning the game. In fact, you could probably skip more than half of it and still beat the game. It is also used ad nauseam which is another problem with these systems.

    In this case, the Bioware developers took a known system from a popular MMORPG and reused it without asking themselves if the system was what brought people to the game. I'll give you another example. The crafting collection process.

    In this game, you collect resources much like you do in WoW. A herb or mining node lights up and you interact with it to obtain it. Each. And. Every. Craft. Mat. You. Need. Must. Be. Looted. By. Hand. Things like this are a good example of how WoW can be a great game in SPITE of some of the things it does which cannot be confused with fun. Nobody likes farming nodes in WoW.

    Note how many WoW players get banned for running quest bots, collect bots, fishing bots, BG bots, etc. If people are getting banned for botting it odds are pretty good it isn't a fun part of the game.

    I miss the original Dragon Age: Origins. It felt like a true successor to the Baldur's Gate franchise. It could have been even more epic but they were on the right path. They've fallen in love with other games and have retooled some of the worst features in those games to incorporate into their work. That's tragic really. Dragon Age Inquisition is a BEAUTIFUL game to look at and the story really isn't all that bad. The problem will always be in how the content is delivered. Dragon Age Inquisition does a shameful job in that regard.

    In a future iteration I'd like to see them return to a smaller, tightly woven storyline with sub plots that are all wound up before the final ( main ) plot is.

    I'd love to see them throw this material collection system into the trash where it belongs. It isn't fun running around clicking on mine veins. Give me an option to drop a flag and have my army of peons do it for me. Or make it part of the war table.

    I'd love to say every one of my 80 hours playing this game were a blast. The truth is they weren't because a good portion of those hours were spent trying to access some node on the map to close out a quest that didn't matter in the greater scheme of things.

    Not a bad game just not a great game and not as good as the original.    … Expand

    Good right up to the point the devs got bored and forgot to include a plot. you know your at that point because the game suddenly becomes a movie instead of a game. The hinterlands are massive very draw you in. Afterwards though.. run from A to B..... done that? better run back to A!

I think when you look at it realistically ;), what Bioware did was add in a bunch of huge locales with lots to do, but not much depth. They put this open world gargantuan on top of a narrative structure that is very similar to DA:2, the war table is the frame. This is fan service at its best, really. DA:2 was all narrative, with little exploration. DA:I is the same 30-40 hour narrative put within a huge world. However, a world with not much actual meaning or exposition in terms of player experience. The player is forced into exploring in order to essentially 'level up' the story. This gets boring at best, after around 20 hours, and then it gets annoying, and then it gets frustrating, and then it seems unbearable. So if you are a story nut, like me, do as little exploring as possible, trust me. I went almost everywhere and there is nothing that really shines in terms of sidequests or discovered quests. They all just seem empty, although some contain good lore, which is a plus if you are into reading a lot of lore on the screen. An overall decent game which is redeemed through its story.… Expand

    Great game. It looks really, really good on the PS4. Lots to do on maps, and the war table is a nice addition. My only real complaint is that I wish there were more options to customize ability branches. Also, the tactical camera is a nice addition, but I never really use it for much on normal setting.

    The story is standard fantasy fare, but any rpg gamer sees those all the time. Characters are good enough, there are dialogues, romancing is back, as well as fighting in a party of 4 the player controls. This part in the series features large open areas to explore, which are beautifully designed and full of stuff to do. As a player, your job is to set up an inquisition that has to defeat a demon invasion. Players are able to influence the functioning of this inquisiton; which characters join, which missions to take, build up fortifications and camps to increase influence over areas, etc. The sound effects are good enough, the music is beautiful, and the whole game breathes high fantasy well enough. Finally, the controls are perfectly fit for a controller. All in all, a fine RPG and I am happy a game like this finally has arrived on the PS4. It's my personal game of the year!

    One thing though: I play on the 'hard' difficulty setting and it feels more like 'normal'. So, if you want some challenge and having to use the tactical view do put the game on hard before you start!
    The only negative point I can come up with is the fact that clearing an area of all activities feels very much like an Assassin's Creed game or WoW, which means you're kind of racing through all the icons on the map to grey them out. I prefer no icons and real exploration. Still, you won't find any better rpg on the PS4.    … Expand

They don't MAKE the game. ALL creative choices are left to the developer. If you didn't like this game, it isn't because EA attached their social media site and name to it, its because you DIDN'T LIKE THE GAME. Shocker. The game-play is a good hybrid of DA2 and DAO, leaning more towards DAO (don't let the reviews fool you, it isn't DA2 2.0 as some have put it). My guess is many of these people leaving negative reviews didn't bother to play to end-game. That's like watching a movie halfway and proclaiming its the "worst movie EVER". A little dramatic I think, but to each their own. I didn't find the writing to be that bad, story was lacking but characterization was strong, and that's why you play a Bioware game really, to build a character and see what your choices effect. No DA game ever had complex combat mechanics, so I don't get that argument. Really its a solid RPG at a time when little to no RPG's were being released. Something is much better than nothing. If you want to wait for the next regurgitation of the FF series, have at it, but this title was solid. Don't expect anything ground-breaking, but there are TONS of references to the previous two titles, making it a fun excursion for fans of the series. 8/10, hater's gonna hate, decide for yourselves and stop bashing EA for wanting to make money...all developers/publishers do that, its why they can keep making games.… Expand

    Got 100+ hrs out of this wonderful game. It's too bad that once you kill a dragon on normal, we're not able to kill it again on hard or nightmare mode later on, using the same character. Would be really great to test newly acquired gear on those dragons at higher difficulties..repeatedly! Game is worth every time & penny spent.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a step in the right direction for Bioware. They made a massive sprawling world with several unique locations to visit each substantial in size. A lot of new changes this time around in DA:I such as first time tactical camera for consoles, the War Room(Which is awesome by the way) you can go to the war table and complete operations and gain gold, materials, power, influence, etc, fights with high dragons(It's awesome), Skyhold your own base of operations- which you can upgrade and model to your liking, I made a mage so I use the mage throne with Tevinter Imperium decor giving Skyhold a very mage-like look it to it, etc. The combat in DA:I is quite fun as well u can have up to 4 people in your party you included and play as you like. There are 3 different classes and 4 different races in the game and each follower is unique and each has a special personality. The party options are literally endless, If you want to go 4 mage's you can do that or if you want to double up on your warrior's you can do that too. The dialogue and interactions between characters are superb. The writing is awesome in this game and the storyline is pretty good IMO at least even tho critics are saying it falls flat and maybe in some aspects it does at some points it does but overall pretty damn good. I mean *SPOILERS you get fight Corypheus the ancient Magister who started the blight how cool is that.* This game is open and endless I'm in over 100 hrs and there's still plenty to do. Play as you like in this game if you want to go full on strategy then use the tactical camera if you want to go more action oriented then you can do that too. This game is not without it's faults though. Some minor bugs/glitch such as audio bugs, character record screen freezing sometimes, followers go silent, etc but nothing too big. The tactical top-down camera can be iffy and annoying at times, set amount health potions plus no healing spells, lastly the thing that bothers me the most you can only access the spells/abilities mapped to your buttons on your controller no longer can yo access all your abilities in the radial menu. Overall Dragon Age Inquisition is a great rpg experience without outstanding writing and character development and awesome fun addicting game play. P.S. don't listen to the people saying this game is crap because it's not it's mostly people who haven't played it who are Bioware haters and are thinking this since EA is evil that Bioware must be too. It's a great game that will fill that great rpg void in your life and it doesn't deserve a 0 whatsoever.… Expand

The combat is varied and really satisfying, and each of the classes feels unique and plays differently. The conversation choices, which is a staple in BioWare games, are great and give you control to create a personality for your character.

    *Combat 9/10. It's really hard to pick a class to play because each has been balanced really well as far as power. Mages seem a little on the underpowered side this go round compared to DA:O. You can now respec.
    Content 10/10. There are just too many things to do. Deep crafting system. Solid side quests. Many different side quest systems. A little bit of everything. From gathering, to crafting, to hunting dragons.

    Multiplayer 8/10. Very addicting dungeon crawler. Each class is unique and holds its own. The only problem is that you rely 100% on getting items with you are lucky to get 1 item drop per match. This makes you dump gold after gold into buying chests. All items dropped and from chests are random. After 20 chest's I didn't get 1 weapon for the class I was using. Weapons and armor are restricted to class. It takes way too long to acquire enough material to craft. Good weapon drops are too far between. Gear matters more than abilities and getting that gear is completely random.

    Notable problems -The tactical camera needs a patch. It doesn't go high enough so i'm constantly having to reposition my group just so i can see better with the camera.

    Items for quests are kept in the 'valuables' location in the inventory ( more like the junk area from previous games ). Using the option to 'Sell all Valuables' is very dangerous since you can sell quest items without knowing it.

    No item storage

    Class locked items and weapons ( a big step back from origins ).

    Dumbed down AI tactics - While your team mates will use abilities more intelligently, you can no longer set rules to adjust them to your playstyle.

    Conclusion - If you enjoyed Origins, you will enjoy this. This game is not none stop action, this is a true role playing game. Expect down time and expect to have to read now and then.    … Expand

    + Environments (I've seen better landscapes only in "Ethan Carter")
    + + !! Exploring (Perhaps first time in Bioware game. And they made it really-really-really good)
    + Massive amount of content + Story (So far it's better, than I expected) - Combat (better than in DA1,2, but still not impressive and a bit buggy) - Many of a little flaws (Enemies stuck in walls, poor NPC animation,    + Environments (I've seen better landscapes only in "Ethan Carter")

    - Combat (better than in DA1,2, but still not impressive and a bit buggy)
    - Many of a little flaws (Enemies stuck in walls, poor NPC animation, bards with invisible lutes, etc...)
    - Interface usability (It's so easy to make it usable, but it seems nobody cared about it.)
    - Lack of armored bikinis, unisex animation and other gay stuff

    Didn't finished it yet. It seems - the game is pretty long. So far - it is definitely best of 3 Dragon Age games, and one of the best RPG 's I ever played. It's like playing Knights of the Old Republic for the first time!    … Expand

    Hilarious that people are complaining when they obviously don't even like RPGs, they just bought this game based on marketing. Then the other morons who just want to hate EA even though they're only the publisher and didn't even make the game- a studio they own did. Don't even get me started on the idiot that gave it a bad review because it's not like the pile of crap that DA2 was.

Don't even get me started on the idiot that gave it a bad review because it's not like the pile of crap that DA2 was. I really wish people would actually play a good part of a game before ranting about it on here but I guess the Internet will never change, tons of self righteous, ignorant buffoons.

    I've played all the DA games and this is by far the best. Easily as good, if not better than, classics like Skyrim and Mass Effect. An enormous world, diverse combat and engaging stories. I'm 10 hours in and only just scratched the surface (which is probably 9 hours and 30 minutes longer than the reviewer complaining that the story is only "evil shows up, let's kill it" has played).

    There are still the well known Bioware glitches present and some of the assets seem dropped in and not organic but the overall presentation is still gorgeous.    … Expand

    Takes far too long to get going, but once it does you'll be hooked for the longest haul. [Jan 2015, p.64]

    An exhaustive and impactful world let down by predictable aesthetics and combat. [Issue#251, p.70]
