    If you’re looking for a solid RPG in a beautifully built world, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is certainly that. The combat is fluid and satisfying, and the world of Thedas is well-designed and fun to explore. The story has its drawbacks, but overall it’s still better than most. Whether it will live up to the prestigious storytelling of the previous Dragon Age games will very much depend on the RPG’s curtain call. [Review in Progress]

    The Veilguard pulls off old tricks with a level of polish unlike anything the studio’s done before. There will inevitably be division and scrutiny around every choice BioWare made, but Dragon Age: The Veilguard represents the first time in many years I’ve played a game from this studio that didn’t leave me worried about the future. Instead, I’m ready to look forward to it once more.

    I think it’s possible to enjoy Veilguard on its own merits — there’s no need to know series minutiae to get what’s going on — but many of the Big Plot Reveals™ will feel more impactful if you know the DA universe well enough to understand their implications. Either way, don’t let the slow start fool you. The game’s cast of lovable weirdos will give you what you’re looking for.

    It wants you to matter so much it makes everything in its world—once one of gaming’s most interesting fantasy landscapes—feel like it doesn’t. No wonder I spend half my time with it contemplating the great beyond; at least it’s more interesting than this.
