X Dragon Age: The Veilguard reviews and Metacritic scores are in

One of this year’s most exciting game releases for RPG fans is Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the latest title from the storied developer BioWare and its first new mainline entry in its fan-favorite fantasy series since 2014’s Dragon Age: Inquisition. Players have been waiting over 10 years for the next Dragon Age adventure, and now, its scheduled October 31 launch is just days away. Notably, ahead of Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s release date, the embargo for reviews of it has been lifted and critic opinions and scores across the web are available to peruse.

According to the review aggregation site Metacritic, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a “Generally Favorable” score of about 83/100 based on 74 reviews carried out on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5, with most of the evaluations performed using Sony’s console. Most reviews give the RPG a score that’s somewhere in the 80-100 range, though several reviewers were more critical and gave it a 60 or 70. Here’s a roundup of some notable quotes and scores:

  • Eurogamer (100/100): “What BioWare has managed to accomplish here, in the face of all the pressure it’s faced since Dragon Age: Inquisition came out 10 years ago, is extraordinary. From head to toe, wing to wing, The Veilguard is exquisitely realised and full of sophistication across systems and storytelling. It’s warm and welcoming, funny and hopeful, gentle when it needs to be, and of course it’s epic – epic in a way I think will set a high bar not only for BioWare in years to come but for role-playing games in general. This is among the very best of them.”
  • GamesRadar+ (90/100): “Dragon Age: The Veilguard is an approachable, expansive action-oriented RPG and feels like a true end to whatever the franchise was before. The book’s not finished, but a significant chapter has closed. While Dragon Age: The Veilguard is undoubtedly different in many ways from its predecessors and takes lessons learned from Mass Effect to heart, there’s a lot to love – mechanically and narratively – about the new normal and what is hopefully a foundation for what’s to come.”
  • IGN (90/100): “Dragon Age: The Veilguard refreshes and reinvigorates a storied series that stumbled through its middle years, and leaves no doubt that it deserves its place in the RPG pantheon. The next Mass Effect is going to have a very tough act to follow, which is not something I ever imagined I’d be saying before I got swept away on this adventure. Enjoyable action combat, a fantastic cast of allies with sweeping story arcs all their own, top-notch cinematics, and moving, nuanced character writing are the wings on which this triumphant dragon soars, pulling out all the stops in a whirlwind tour of Northern Thedas and capping it with a terrific finale that’s built on memorably tough choices and consequences. If we never get another Dragon Age, at least it got to go out on a high note.”
  • PC Gamer (79/100): “My biggest fear for The Veilguard was that it would be forgettable. It isn’t. I’ve got a lot of critiques on how it compares to the series’ history, but that’s a better feeling than apathy. I’ve had my issues with every Dragon Age since Origins, from Dragon Age 2’s repetitive environments and action combat pivot to Inquisition’s underutilized open world. The Veilguard nails action combat and exploration and visual grandeur but in a series about defining a hero with morally ambiguous choices, the choices here are too easy to make. In time, The Veilguard will have its own hotly debated legacy within the series, but thank goodness it will at least have one.”
  • Digital Trends (70/100): “Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a return to form for this once-lauded RPG studio that should satiate Dragon Age fans quite well after a decade-long wait. But returning to form and perfecting form are not the same thing. BioWare has plenty of room to regrow as it gets back on track making the kinds of games RPG fans want them to create.”
  • VG247 (60/100): “Dragon Age: The Veilguard is full of heart and soul. It’s also got some great ideas. Conversely, many of those ideas feel like they struggle to get out of first gear – and those that do find it harder still to make it to third. Sometimes the cleverest ideas are undermined by other systems or decisions. Simultaneously feeling polished to within an inch of its life in places and utterly half-baked in others, it’s as baffling as it is engaging; as frustrating as it is fascinating.”
