Dragon Age: The Veilguard Is Already Proving To Be One Of BioWare's More Divisive Sequels
28.10.2024
Today, October 28, reviews went live for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I reviewed it here at Kotaku, and despite being jaded toward the series for the better part of a decade, I really loved the long-awaited fourth entry. Right now it sits at a strong 84 on review aggregate site Metacritic, which...
Dragon Age: The Veilguard: The Kotaku Review
28.10.2024
I admit, I’d grown cynical. Dragon Age has a well-established penchant for swapping out protagonists with each new game, and for treating one entry’s be-all, end-all conflicts as little more than narrative springboards that can largely be cast aside in the next. However, with 2014’s Inquisition,...

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Is Addressing One Of The Big Criticisms Of DAII’s Romances
12.6.2024
BioWare’s upcoming RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard seems heavily influenced by 2011’s Dragon Age II. It’s evocative of the second game’s action-driven combat, goes back to its three-path tone-driven dialogue, and its letting you romance any character you want. However, it does seem BioWare learned...
