DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD REVIEW
Dragon Age: The Veilguard delivers a good action-heavy RPG, with moments of greatness buried in the second half of an extremely lengthy and linear opening. Veilguard does very little to revolutionise the RPG genre, and at times it feels like an RPG simply following the standardised template of what an RPG should be. But does that make it a bad experience? No, it just provides a less memorable adventure when compared to its genre counterparts. I could see Dragon Age veterans absolutely loving what Veilguard has to offer, but I can also see many players abandoning their adventure due to the extended linearity of its opening.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s second half will give players many reasons to reach the end credits, but Veilguard does a poor job of letting players know that those moments of greatness exist due to its poor first impression.
PROS
Memorable missions throughout the second half of the narrative
Likeable companions with memorable quests
Gorgeous locations to explore
Fantastic voice acting
CONS
An extremely lengthy and linear opening (10-15 hours)
Lack of Lighthouse companion notifications
Disappointing soundtrack
Horrible lock-on feature
