Certain media outlets, including some prominent ones, have been lobbying Electronic Arts (and their PR agencies) to regain access to the Dragon Age: The Veilguard key for test reviews. These are the websites and publications that have been whitelisted by the American publisher for various reasons and can now provide their verdict after a week of intensive testing. With an initial score of 84% (for its PS5 version) based on fifty reviews, BioWare’s latest title performs commendably. However, it is important to note that while the proposition is interesting and of quality, Dragon Age: The Veilguard no longer resembles a typical Dragon Age game. BioWare has directed the game towards broader appeal by drawing inspiration from diverse titles in both form and content. It is a well-executed concept, yet it prevents the title from having a distinct identity.
As some media outlets continue to work with Electronic Arts (EA) and their PR agencies to obtain the key for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, reviews are gradually appearing online. These include websites and publications that have been whitelisted by the American publisher and can now provide their assessments after a week of intensive testing. With an interim score of 84% based on 50 reviews specifically for its PS5 version, BioWare’s latest title performs well. However, it is important to note that while the game is considered interesting and high-quality, Dragon Age: The Veilguard no longer resembles a typical Dragon Age game. Bioware has intentionally moved the game towards a diverse range of titles to attract a wider audience, both in terms of form and content. This strategic approach results in a richly detailed experience but hinders the title from showcasing a clear and distinct identity.
