With a process of developing such turbulent, perhaps the most surprising thing about Dragon Age: The Veilguard is … the grooming of the game.

The game mechanisms of the game are also significantly improved, especially with the combat system. Now, the main character Rook of the game is faster, more accurate with the mechanisms of supporting, dodging and pleasing and instant, with beautiful and heavy moves, not only that, the player can completely activate the skill of the team quickly and conveniently, different from the “turning” mechanism of the cumbersome parts of the versions Dragon Age Before – this makes the fighting experience of Dragon Age: The Veilguard There is a feeling like versions God of War New, despite the lack of many depths compared to those two games.

That’s right, because Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a “heavy” game that plays role -playing and tweaking skills than that. The fighting system of the game is balanced between the three main character classes (Warrior, Rogue, Mage), with each character class with three more specific branches, with each branch associated with a certain faction operating in Thea, such as the Duelist branch of the Rogue class with the ability to move flexibly and out the high speed blow will be associated with the Antivan Crows, or the champion branch “

Nothing deposits …

Although with the gameplay, graphics quality and high quality environmental image style, all the remaining elements of Dragon Age: The Veilguard Will definitely bring a feeling … relatively disappointing for the player.

If it is possible to encapsulate the plot and content of the game again in four words, it will be “Potential waste!”

Set not long after the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition, The VeilguarD for players to follow Rook and familiar characters (Varric, Harding and Neve) to prevent a dangerous ritual of Solas, but accidentally summoned two evil, dark gods and released them freely, destroying the world. Solas was now trapped in The Fade, so he made a blood contract with Rook, so that he could stop the other two gods.

This is an interesting direction for any “veteran” player of the game series Dragon Agebecause throughout this journey, the player will learn a lot of new and interesting things about important figures in Elvish myths like Solas or Mythal, as well as discover more familiar and strange places such as Rivain and Telinter.

But this is the point that makes the writer feel most confusing, because it seems Dragon Age: The Veilguard Just trying to please the veteran players of the game, while trying to create a product towards a new player file.

The game opens with the characters that ask the player to play through at least Inquisition to be able to “get used to” with the game content, but leave the characters like Varric and Solas to introduce new character lines … not really interesting, old characters like Morran and Inqui are introduced with many “hidden implications” and promising, but appeared so weird.

The superficiality also comes from the way Bieware exploits the key topics of the game series Dragon Age, With some places such as Tevinter, although it looks beautiful, there is a lack of “anchor” to lead an important story like blood magic or forced labor problem, slavery.

The same thing happens when the player clashes with the Antivan Crows faction, when many history of organizations, places only encapsulate down on one -way, shallow clashes with a ridiculous villain.

This is even more inhibited when the BioWare team can completely create extremely interesting gameplay, truly impressive stories led knots and beyond its predecessor games, especially like the “escape” in the second half of the game, and an impressive and emotional game climax!

And it is the superficiality in this detail that makes the character routes Dragon Age: The Veilguard Also “lost” a lot compared to its predecessors. The game still has relatively interesting auxiliary tasks for the players of the player, but lacks the consistency in the story if compared to the “heavy” role -playing games about teammates like Baldur’s Gate 3 Or Atlus games like Metaphor: Refantazio and Persona – So the emotional climax or romantic relationship in the game feels extremely half -hearted and lack of appeal.

Such superficial, lack of depth is finally “finished” by the options of appearance design and character lines “relatively confusing” from BioWare. Character in Dragon Age: The Veilguard It cannot be called “ugly”, but their expressions feel somewhat ridiculous and too animated, plus the forced, bulky dialogue, explaining the concepts that seem to be “forced to have” rather than really help the game’s storyline.

And the saddest thing Dragon Age: The Veilguard Although this is the best, most complete game that the Bieware family launched for a long time, with quality far beyond Anthem and Mass Effect: AndromedaGame, essentially, is a product that is not well -made, but creates a feeling of “extremely half -hearted” and forgetful, especially in an impressive year of the gaming village!

If it is possible to encapsulate the plot and content of the game again in four words, it will be “Wasting potential!
