Possibly one of the most controversial games this year, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is racking up tons of positive reviews from various media outlets.
Set to release on October 31, 2024, BioWare's latest entry in the Dragon Age franchise will feature a much tighter-knit environment with different segments compared to the open world seen in many recent RPGs.

With this wide variety of reviewer scores, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has an 84 Metascore on Metacritic and a 78% critic recommendation on OpenCritic.
Some reviews say it is BioWare's best Dragon Age ever and a triumphant return of BioWare to the Dragon Age franchise. Meanwhile, YouTuber and gaming video creator Skill Up said, "every interaction with the companions feels like HR is in the room" and "interaction made by the main character sounds like he is addressing an Under 12 soccer team before a semi-final". He was wildly praising on the one hand and brutally hard on it on the other.
