With the release of the first teaser, Dragon Age: The Veilguard had fans concerned due to its color palette and music choice, which seemed somewhat out of character for the series. However, the game has taken everyone by surprise with its positive reviews so far. Here are the details and review scores…
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is averaging 84/100!
Dragon Age: The Veilguard, marking BioWare’s return to the legendary world of Thedas, has achieved an average score of 84 on Metacritic for PS5 and 80 for PC. While these scores don’t quite reach Dragon Age: Origins’ 91 on PC or Inquisition’s 89 on PS4, they are notably higher than BioWare’s recent games, with Mass Effect: Andromeda scoring 72/100 and Anthem 59/100.
Here are some highlights from the reviews:
- IGN: 9/10
- GameSpot: 8/10
- Game Informer: 8.5/10
- Push Square: 8/10
- VGC: 4/5
- PCGamesN: 8/10
- GamesHub: 4/5
- TheGamer: 4.5/5
Reviews are particularly positive about the companion system and the decision to move away from Inquisition’s controversial open-world approach. Criticisms, however, focus on repetitive quest designs and the reduced impact of choices compared to previous games in the series.
Returning to Thedas after a decade, The Veilguard is set in a shattered world in the aftermath of Solas’ betrayal. Visually, it’s the most impressive game in the series, with detailed character creation and a captivating fantasy atmosphere.
