Seven Hours With Dragon Age: The Veilguard: Has BioWare Learned The Right Lessons?
19.9.2024
I have been waiting for Dragon Age: The Veilguard for 10 years. The last game developer BioWare put out was 2019’s Anthem, an ill-fated loot shooter that chased live-service trends and felt like a misuse of the team’s talents. In the years since, there have been reports and admissions from...

I Am Once Again Asking Developers To Stop Making Collector’s Editions Without The Game
15.8.2024
I have largely moved away from buying collector’s editions over the past decade, and so I was probably not going to buy Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s pseudo-special edition, called “Rook’s Coffer,” to begin with. If I don’t see something that I might actually use in the big box of collectibles...
