Dragon Age: The Veilguard review - the best BioWare game I've ever played

A fantasy role-playing game of astonishing spectacle. This is the best Dragon Age, and perhaps BioWare, has ever been. Eurogamer's review.

Cinematic blends into helter skelter traversal, enlivened by now being able to mantle and contextually leap over obstacles, which then leads into combat with clusters of enemies, a sprinkling of dialogue, some meaningful choices, set pieces and boss fights. The elven forest of Arlathan, for instance, radiates gold and green and shimmers with rainbow iridescence; Dock Town in Minrathous is slate grey and soaked in rain, puddles gathering between the cobbles; and wherever the Blight is, its sickness is palpable, black and rotten, punctuated only by pulsing, angry red spores. It's a relatively slow start with them, in terms of who's available from the beginning - I found the initial ensemble a bit twee and saccharine - but as characters like Lucanis and Davrin, and especially Emmrich and Taash arrive, the group dynamic improves dramatically.
