After baited breath from the Dragon Age community, The Veilguard has arrived—and it doesn’t disappoint. The return to Thedas is an excellent time and bodes well for the future of BioWare’s other projects.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an action-filled game that is fluid, crisp, and exciting. The missions are well-written and enjoyable, and the dialogue between companions is delightful. There’s a lot to like about The Veilguard, but there are a few bumps in the road. For older Dragon Age fans, it might feel odd to be planted in this mostly dungeon-based mission corridor, but the experience never feels like a grind and is mostly BioWare playing it safe.
