The negative reviews made me buy this at sale and that was a wise choice. It took me a while to pinpoint what I didn't like about The Veilguard. For some reason it kept reminding me of Hogwarts ... The bright colors, the endless hand-holding ... and then it occurd to me: This is a game for children. The gritty-ness of the previous Dragon Age games is entirely gone. All characters in the game are still emotionally children. None of them act like adults. This game is marketed entirely to the wrong people.
I used to play BioWare games for the writing. With Veilguard, I'm playing despite it. To be clear, there’s a lot here that I genuinely enjoy. The gameplay is engaging, the art style is striking, and moment-to-moment combat is fun. On a mechanical level, it’s a solid experience. But the writing? It doesn't feel like Dragon Age. The series was always built on moral weight — choices mattered because the world would let you be cruel, pragmatic, or selfish, and then make you live with it. Veilguard sands all of that away. You're not allowed to be rude, sarcastic, or genuinely offensive. Virtue loses its meaning when the game has removed everything it stands against. I’m giving it a thumbs up, because there’s clearly a lot of craftsmanship in the gameplay and presentation. But if you're coming in as a longtime fan expecting the BioWare that used to gut-punch you, manage your expectations. This is a different studio making a different kind of game, wearing a familiar name.
I think this is a fairly good game - just not a good Dragon Age game. It would probably rate much higher and do better if was an entirely different franchise instead. The game mechanics play well and the graphics are gorgeous, especially if you have the hardware to run it. However, the overwhelming issue is that it seems to be Dragon Age-lite, if Dragon Age at all. While the graphics are lovely, they seem to be not quite right for the franchise and that, along with the way they have represented much of the story/companion/main missions, and an under-emphasis of deeper and richer RPG elements seems to rather have the effect of Disney-fying it - which is quite the opposite of what previous Dragon Age games were like. Still I'm giving it thumbs up as there has there has been a bit of work put into it and it sort of well done for what it is (and as there is no way you can put it as just 'ok' as a review. A fairly good game - just not great ultimately as to what a Dragon Age game should be.
If you're looking at this game, and think it will be ANYTHING related to OG Dragon Age...you're not going to find it. The creepiness, the ambiguity, the moral gray are all gone. However...if you're just looking for a fun action RPG that can do impressive visual effects in combat....that IS here. At the $20 price point I paid for this game, it's worth it. You do get a complete experience. This isn't another base game that you'll need $80 in DLC to hit an end of story with. Long ago, I lost my Nostalgia Bug. I grew up as a kid of the arcades, and watched as all my legends turned into cash-grabs. So I don't play games because of "Oh, I remember that name!!!" I play video games to have fun. Veilguard IS fun. I'm having more fun with this game, than I did with Clair Obscurr: Expedition 33. It's not a deep story, not all the writing is good...but it's fun, well paced combat, with very customizable builds. This is the first game that doesn't require you to have a BANK, and go back to BASE if you want to respec. One fight not going your way as an Evoker? Go into your skill list between combat locations, and refund all your points. No paying, no burning resources, no reloading old saves. Your current equipment not working? You carry all the weapons, armor, keepsakes rings and amulets on you. Just switch up between fights. Is it realistic? No. Is it thematic? No. Is it a VIDEO GAME? Yes. Don't like your Neve or Davrin? Go to a fast travel point that are easily littered all over the zones, and swap them out. I'm giving Veilguard a like for the same reason I gave CO:E33 a dislike: the GAMEPLAY is front and center, not the conventions of past glory. It's not a perfect game, but it's an actual MODERN game, done right. What's sad to me, is that this will probably be the last game Bioware as we knew it had any input on. I doubt we'll see a game this good from Bioware again. ===UPDATE=== I finished the game earlier today, and while my tacit like still stands, I must add a disappointing conclusion. Frankly, the game is now just BARELY worth the $20. There is no "New Game +" as in Mass Effect OR a Golden Nug as in Inquisiiton...but you still get random loot drops for specs beyond yours right up until the last room before the last boss. All the loot in VG appears random, but you can't sell it to acquire the specific stuff you want. Further, there's an item upgrade path that probably was intended to be monetized post-launch. But essentially, you can't build specific builds with specific gear buffs, unless you get lucky and get random item upgrades based ON the piece or effect you want. As I was nearing the end-game, I figured "Okay, still getting drops, so that means there's a Golden Nug, or NG+ that'll let me not have to dig through endless chests for the gear I want." When I saw after the credits that didn't happen, any desire to replay the game, knowing I have to dig out chests again and again, to HOPEFULLY get the drop I wanted, vanished. Again, I don't say it's a perfect game, and this IS the last trace of the Bioware from the heady days of JE/KOTOR/SWTOR/ME...but even this doesn't tank the $20 price point....BUT DO NOT BUY THE $20 "DELUXE EDITION" UPGRADE!!! The game isn't worth $40, it's worth $30...I don't even think it's worth $22 before taxes. It IS worth $20 before taxes, and not a penny more. If you can get it cheaper, do so.
I want to preface this review by saying that I am incredibly biased: Dragon Age was my childhood. I played every single entry of the series to death. There was a time when I was haunting online forums speculating about lore points and then-future plot developments. Therefore, I will never be able to see this game for 'what it objectively is,' which if I am to play devil's advocate, a pretty mediocre, clumsily written hack and slash title with some cinematic flair here and there. To play the critic for just a second, Veilguard is a game that, unlike its predecessors, lack a discernible identity. If you've played Inquisition as much as I have, you'll no doubt scream at the cameos, identify oversized elfroots and recontextualised assets in Inquisition which are no doubt included in this game to stoke nostalgia (spoiler alert, it worked for me.) But for any other player, this game is God of War (2018) but worse. The companions are about as interesting as your Brooklyn 99 cast of 'misfits' and 'quirky guys and gals.' Most players will struggle to see what's so special about Veilguard, and in another world, I might be inclined to agree. But I am not most players. I used to worship this series like a religion. And Veilguard was more than a decade in the making. There was a time when fans were happy to just find out that a new Dragon Age was coming out (at all). And this game in a way represents a reckoning for a lot of gamers - Yes, we can go on endlessly about its not so subtle trench digging in the 2025 cultural wars, or the drastic and confounding change in art direction - but as mortals who will one day die, do we not just want to like what we like, and to do so unironically? And this is why I think Veilguard is for a very specific type of players, who are looking for something quite specific, namely, closure, finality, of a story arc that is more than 10 years in its unfolding, and long deserving of a swan song that Veilguard could never be but ultimately will be remembered as. Therefore my feelings are mixed: I know the watering down of the mechanics is bad, the writing is a noticeable downgrade from Inquisition, but it also delights me to hear lines from Morrigan, Varric, Dorian, and all the characters that were there in the formative years of my life. The third act felt like Ostagar, or the journey to Skyhold, i.e., chills, and more chills. If anything I've just said struck a chord (die-hard DA weirdos, I know you're out there), stop listening to reviews and play this game already. This is likely going to be the last Dragon Age game in a long while. Life doesn't last forever, enjoy what you have!
