Final review update after 80 hours of gameplay, 100% playthrough, all achievements, spell blade mage.

Graphics and character design

First of all, I was initially negative about the shift to a more Pixar-like/cartoon style. It seemed worse in the trailer, but the actual game doesn’t look as bad once you start playing. While the tone has become more childlike, the graphic style isn’t as off-putting as I expected. Character customization was not as detailed as announced by the devs. During gameplay there was no freedom with equipping/un-equipping equipment and some options were visible maybe once during entire gameplay. I did not like 90% of armor designs so I run through entire game with one outfit.

Combat and Game Type

The action-based combat feels similar to switching from Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2: it’s more action-focused and limits tactical options. It’s not necessarily bad; it just takes some getting used to. This is one factor I enjoyed within this game. Combat was fun, skills were flashy and satisfying. I would rate this game as action adventure platform game instead of action RPG. A lot of frustrating puzzles and platforms, you are flood with enemies coming from nowhere like in dragon age 2. Dialogs, decisions, equipment management many invisible walls, this is not a good RPG.

Dialogs and Story

Dialogues are almost nonexistent. It feels like the HR department really may have filtered the writers’ ideas, as everything seems designed to avoid offending any group. It feels like Mass Effect Andromeda all over again, dark story happening in the background and main protagonist is all about coffee flowers, jokes. You cannot have this type of dark grim story, while main character is a clown. Dialogs were so cringe that there was no immersion into the story. Sometimes characters respond to major, terrifying events with things like "Ok then, by the way…," which feels out of place. I’m giving this game a chance, but at this moment, I can’t recommend it. Where are the writers of Mass Effect 1-3 and Dragon Age Origins/Inquisition where you would just roam for hours in main base/ship and talk with companions. Here you would see a sing on map that companion is ready to talk, after 2-3 sentences it ends and nothing more to be said.

Story - I was a fan of Dragon Age Keep, and I've played every BioWare game in the past, always appreciating how even small story elements could resurface in later games. However, here, the story feels almost nonexistent, which is disappointing. Morrigan and Inquisitor could not appear at all, those were not characters from my playthroughs of Dragon age 1-3. 0 Decisions from previous game mattered. For 90% of the game there was no story you run from point A to B attacking many minions and again. The only good part was the ending the 10% of the game, last 4-5 hours was what dragon age is about and it was the only good part.

Game Design and Character Customization

For male characters, the body customization is great: lots of options, allowing you to be bulky, fat, or fit; there’s a wide range to choose from. However, for female characters, the options seem limited, as if they were created from a male template, making it hard to achieve a truly feminine look. Features like glutes and chest appear non-existent.

Loot is just as dialogs the worst part of the game. Like in Ubisoft game you would find over 1000 chests, with random loot. So to upgrade the equipment you want you have to search, search and search because you could loot all the loot but still do not find the item for your build. Beside chest there are mementos which you need to upgrade your base shop. You have to find over 130 to upgrade the shop to max to have even the opportunity to upgrade your equipment to max level, and the wors part of exploring were puzzles. Every two steps puzzle or invisible wall and mobs spawning each step like in dragon age 2, at least combat was fun part of the game. You are out of gold?, so you are out of luck in RPG you have no option to sell equipment, you can only sell scraps no equipment management at all.

Summary

Overall, this doesn’t feel like the ideal Dragon Age game. Ironically, I found more RPG options in Elden Ring. This game feels more like an action-based experience, similar to Shadow of Mordor, God of War or Fable, than a true RPG. I would rate this game as Action adventure platform game with RPG elements. All elements from previous games Morrigan, Varric, Inquisitor and Solas put aside, appear only for 1-2% of the game with most random not existent dialog. No Decisions brought forward.

This could easily be new IP without dragon age in its name or a spin off between Dragon Age Games. It is sad because of the bad game developers we would not get any more dragon age game at all, the game which we deserve to get. Through poor performance sequel is not likely to happen. This will be also my first Bioware game which I will play only once. I played through mass effect and dragon age trilogy over 10-20 times, played Jade Empire and other instalments, even replayed Andromeda 3 times. There is no replay ability, Paragon and Renegade options sound the same, each locations will play the same and there are so little dialog and decisions that combat only is not worth to play this game again.

I can’t recommend this game as a Dragon Age game. If you are new player that likes action based games you would probably like it, in this case I would recommend to buy it on 30-50% sale as it is not worth the full price. Cringe protagonist, non-existent dialogs, bad writing, no RPG elements with good combat and Story for last 4-5 hours of the game.

10/10

7 hours and still at starting area, till now game is perfect.

Pure Perfection. The main problem is after playing this game, no other game is fun anymore. It's just lets go back to play elden ring.

The game is really bad. Starting with technical issues. EA Anticheat causing game to not run properly. First time since windows XP i had to look guides how to even run the game.

Then after game run High end PC was overheating, so again looking for guides to force certain graphic options to not overheat the PC.

Then there is gameplay. Slow sluggish, they force onto you milion advices, trainers even when you switch those off those still pop up. Fifa 22 was just download, install and play in Fifa 23 search guidelines, change options, fight with errors and sluggish animations.

Even the colours are off, making shirts brighter than sun. Do not recommend it, I am personally going back to Fifa 22. Refunded Fifa 23 gladly I was under the 2 hours limit.

Bought it, when it was on sale and must say it ended up beeing the game of the year. Cannot wait for the sequel.

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite game on steam!

I beat the trylogy 15 times already on origin, now bought legendary edition on steam and i must say Mass Effect 1, they implemented small changes, which made game even more playable. I am still doing 100 % run on mass effect 1 with steam achievements, i do not have to check me2 or 3 before giving the review, as those were master pieces even before remaster.

Almost 200 hours in game time and still playing, thats all i can add.

I thought i never find a game, that i would play indefinitely like Civilization V. It is a first modern strategy game, that beat CIV V for me. There are many possibilities to play the game/strategies and game could go in so different paths. Already 550 hours into the game, and much more to come. Waiting for more DLC's and Patches to come, hopefully they wont change any core mechanincs like planets in Stellaris, which i stopped playing due to patch that changed managing the planets.

This game never ends be prepared for huge time sink while playing it. At the beggining it wasn't so great but with expansions this game is the best of the kind. I`m at 400 hours right now and still haven't touched some scenarios yet. Best part is the multiplayer with friends :)

UPDATE ~ now 500 hours, been trying No Quiters mod. This is a real game changer. Everyone that seeks new challenge should definitely try it :)
