Dragon Age: The Veilguard Reviews

Among the gaming community, Dragon Age: The Veilguard appears to be a polarizing entry in the series. There is sharp discrepancy in how Veilguard is received between player-users and publications. Most player reviews criticize Veilguard for its perceived departure from the original spirit of the Dragon Age series. In particular, Veilguard's character designs received flak, with critcisms indicating that the designs were rather too cartoonish for a mature game. Others have commented that the game's storytelling felt disjointed, and other gamers have remarked their distate for the game's wider inclusion of gender identities for the player character.

On the other hand, positive reviews for the game indicate that its animations are impressive along with the reworked combat system. Many have also expressed their enjoyment of in-game content, particularly the side quests, as well as the unravelling of the Companion's side stories.

Game8 gave Veilguard a rating of 90/100, commending its fast, action-packed gameplay, combat mechanics, and cohesive level design. Additionally, the game is praised for packing in great audiovisual presentation, compelling narrative, and a wealth of side content to explore and finish.

Eurogamer Germany gave the game a Metacritic rating of 100, saying that Veilguard serves as an outstanding entry that brings the series to modern day form. Meanwhile, PC Gamer gave Veilguard a 79/100 rating and commended the game for being an effective Action-RPG title, but underwhelms with its storywriting.
