Should you buy Dragon Age: The Veilguard?
As someone who has never played a Dragon Age game, I’m going to crack my knuckles, shake off some of the late-shift rust from coveringBlack Friday gaming deals, and attempt to call this as cleanly down the middle as possible. Honestly? I think that might be a good thing because, with long-running, beloved gaming franchises like this, it can be very hard for long-term fans to separate themselves from the nostalgia of games gone by, and that’s where a lot of the most heated opinions arise from.
In preparation for this, I’ve read as many reviews as possible, and I’ve got a lay of the land for who might enjoy their time with The Veilguard, and who probably won’t. If you’re a fan of Dragon Age, Mass Effect, orBioware’s games more generally, you will probably enjoy this game, which we awarded a 4.5 out of 5 in ourDragon Age: The Veilguard review.There’s so much deep lore in this world that fans of previous games will love to dive back into, so if you’re a long-term fan who couldn’t afford a full-price game last month, you’ve been blessed.
At the same time, if you’ve been wanting an open-world, fantasy RPG to enjoy lately, but the idea of a game withhundredsof hours of quests and a never-ending map fatigues you, Veilguard might be perfect for you thanks to its approachable writing and fairly easy-to-pick-up gameplay. The main story takes the majority of players around 24 hours of gameplay to complete, and a completionist run will last around 60-70 hours.
The same is true of the other side though - even if there’s a lot of depth to player creation and the lore, a lot of complaints about the game have been focused on how the gameplay and writing can feel a bit shallow.

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I’ve been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my ownYouTube channelabout my love of games too. These days, I’m one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.Location: UK Remote
