A worthy addition to the Dragon Age series, but it takes some time to prove it.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is a Schrodinger's Goldilocks kind of a game: too big and just right at the same time.

The best part about Dragon Age is how you take complete ownership of this world you've invested so much time in. For better or worse, you made this happen with your decisions and it shows. This might be the epic fantasy RPG you've been waiting a good long while for. Hell, it may just be the Dragon Age game you've finally been waiting for.

With Inquisition, BioWare have handled the narrative and consequence of conversation and action with more assurance and depth than Telltale, while also constructing one of the finest and most forward-looking CRPGs ever made. And I'm as delighted and surprised as anyone.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is an incredible game -- one that's almost too big for its own good.

In sum, "Dragon Age: Inquisition" feels like a game in which the writers were set free to craft a story for contemporary adults. As I listened to the poetic diction of Cole, a character prone to alliteration and utterances such as, "The air smells like rocks," I wondered if the gaming industry might swell to provide a berth for poets as academia has.

Dragon Age Inquisition has raised the bar for storytelling. It's the sort of game you think you have figured out after a few hours, but time and time again it'll surprise you. With a rebuilt combat system, an open and inviting world, 150 hours of content, and a warm and familiar storytelling system, Dragon Age Inquisition is the best RPG I've played in a decade.

BioWare's sprawling fantasy RPG offers an embarrassment of activites to explore, but sometimes fails to provide the motivation to do so.

How to qualify this Dragon Age Inquisition? 'Success' would be the most appropriate word. After the mistakes of the 2nd opus, BioWare has been able to take over the reins to offer what they know how to do best: finely written role-playing game that literally takes us into an epic and incredibly rich fantasy world. The license regains its aura and it is undeniably a title that should not be missed.

[T]here's so much to do, and so much of it is great fun, that I don't miss those elements like I might in a game with art and writing that doesn't climb as high as Dragon Age: Inquisition does.

When you take a step back and look at it, Dragon Age: Inquisition isn't a retreading or even a revival, it's a rebirth. BioWare has taken a franchise that was on the ropes and invigorated it to the point of that it can stand up to the major powerhouse RPGs of our time. Look out Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Mass Effect, this franchise hasn't surpassed you yet, but given the new direction, spark of life and massive scale that it needed Dragon Age has made its mark. Ignore it at your peril.

Dragon Age: Inquisition has a terrific single-player campaign with quests that are truly memorable in its main storyline. While the title is not truly open-world and has an almost disposable multiplayer, the single-player is its strongest portion and one that is done incredibly well.

It might be conventional as far as visuals and monsters go, but its overall appeal rests in its provision of a living world that can be sculpted and altered in ways both subtle and explicit. So long as you're prepared to put the required time in, Dragon Age: Inquisition has plenty to give.
