It’s clear why this game won so many awards in 2014 and 2015. A huge story that any fantasy fans will get a massive kick out of, combined with a sprawling game world with tons of quests and activities to keep you busy for hours – not to mention my favorite mechanic, the combat system, and feels like a dream to play. Even in 2017, when open world RPG games are in abundance, Dragon Age Inquisition cements its rightful place as a real classic genre-defining RPG.

Dragon Age: Inquisition brings you back to the series origins. It's one of 2014's most successful games with an impressive fighting system.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is a reason to put aside the older games that keep your attention and try something new.

Exactly the quality we have come to expect from the Dragon Age franchise (Bioware) and certainly WAY better than Dragon Age 2. An excellent effort and it shows.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is nothing short of astounding, from its immense world to the deep characters. The memorable adventure has flaws, but they pale in comparison to its numerous triumphs.

Inquisition is everything I want from an RPG and more. Unfortunately the more is countless hours tedious collectibles and fetch quests. Still, it's the most ambitious Bioware game yet, offering an action packed main quest of around thirty hours, a beautiful world to explore and interesting characters to meet. This comes highly recommended and should be an instant purchase for anyone with the time to spare.

Dragon Age: Inquisition more than delivers on the promises of its devs. With beautiful graphics, sprawling maps and a detailed, compelling storyline, Inquisition improves on Origins' and DA2's weaknesses while keeping what made them so replayable.

Despite the minor faults and irritating PC controls, Inquisition is still a pretty spectacular game. Definitely worth getting

Dragon Age Inquisition's multiplayer is fun, but could use more variety.

Ultimately, Dragon Age: Inquisition suffers from a very simple problem. It has enough things like graphical prowess and decent combat and the like to be passable. If the Dragon Age name hadn't been attached to this project it seems doubtful it would have been green-lit. Those looking for a better resolution to the story won't find it in here, and, ultimately, it feels like little more than a polished cash-in than an attempt to build or expand.

'Dragon Age: Inquisition' vies with 'Diablo' for the spot of best RPG currently available on the Xbox One. It avoids the grind endemic to games of its kind and has a good story on top of an even better open world. It is not without its problems, many of which BioWare has been criticized for in the past, but is nevertheless an important RPG that is both superior to its predecessor and certainly gives players their money's worth.

Ultimately, what will carry Dragon Age Inquisition is its characters and story. Without spoiling anything, this truly is one of gaming's landmark titles that will raise expectations for videogame writing. Like many good stories, it bides its time before unfurling its greatest moments, and while it takes a solid ten to fifteen hours before Inquisition really gets going, it is all in service to a greater long term reward. Inquisition also has competent gameplay, but it is truly one of the greatest mysteries why Bioware chose to "fix" something that was never broken and screwing with the combat system that worked perfectly fine in Dragon Age Origins, which still in my opinion remains the best game in the series. This is not a game for fans of hack n' slash RPGs or the easily distracted; this is a game for those who are willing to give it the same amount of attention they would give their favorite novel or three hour movie. In conclusion, Dragon Age Inquisition is a fine game that is easily recommendable to both fans of the series and newcomers because its story and characters are so rich that they make its shortcomings just barely tolerable.

I'm still captivated by the structure the game is built on, the way it will give character priority over spectacle. Much of the choice and consequence talk is a bluff, but it can still surprise you.

BioWare achieved everything that it needed to with Dragon Age: Inquisition. It revitalised a series that had suffered real brand damage in Dragon Age II, and the third game in its fantasy trilogy easily stands as the best RPG we've seen in years. There is absolutely no reason to miss out on this one.

Forget the disappointments of the previous instalment – BioWare are back on top form with Dragon Age: Inquisition. With huge expansive locations to explore, a rich and detailed world to be immersed in, and a branching narrative that has the player make tough choices, it is not only one of the best RPGs of the year, but a strong last-minute contender for game of the year.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is the role-playing game you've wanted for years. You glimpsed the future and now, with a few minor exceptions, that vision has been fully realized. The odd part about this is that it's not a staggering work of genius; it's not a game that will resound in the annals of time forever and ever.

For people looking to get lost in a detailed world brimming with political intrigue, warring factions, tough choices that affect the story and gobs of replayability that will last you well beyond Fall and into the new year, Dragon Age Inquisition is a must buy.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is the biggest and best Dragon Age to date. Packed to the brim with content and carefully refined mechanics, it's sure to please any Dragon Age fan. It has a fair share of problems, but none detract too much from the strong core experience. Strong dialogue and fun combat make up for a weak main story and repetitive world design, and the multiplayer adds extra value to the package. It's been a long time since there has been an RPG this big and fully featured, and anyone interested in some classic swords-and-sorcery adventuring will have a hard time finding a better example than Dragon Age: Inquisition.
