Dragon Age: The Veilguard clearly wants to put epic action above all and sprinkles it with deeply emotional moments. Instead of choices and slow, tactical combat, the focus is on a pre-composed story and massive, action-packed battles. But if you engage with it, BioWare delivers one of the most thrilling role-playing games of recent years.

When the long-awaited game comes out clichéd, we have no words to describe our disappointment. Unfortunately, Veilguard fell far short of our expectations.

That Veilguard exists at all is something of a miracle, and that it’s the first good BioWare game in more than a decade feels nearly impossible. It may not be a new standard-bearer for the genre, but merely being pretty good feels like something of a triumph.

With a spectacular and fun action combat system, simplified RPG mechanics, a strong story and cast, not forgetting the design of hubs that grow the more time you spend in them, Bioware delivers an unexpected but incredibly captivating game.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a phenomenal return to form for BioWare. The story is well-paced and the cast of characters are the trademark BioWare staple of fully-realised, but it’s in the newly action-oriented combat where things truly shine.

This isn’t the end of Dragon Age that I was expecting - in this respect, the game must be rated low. However, as an action RPG with flair and a beautiful fairy-tale world, it turns out to be decent, and sometimes even more than that.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard isn’t just in my Game of the Year rankings, it’s in my Best Games of All Time. BioWare has finally matched their recent excellent third-person combat with some of, if not their best, story work to date. This game is an absolute triumph for those old and new to the series.
