Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been a highly anticipated release, and its arrival has left fans with mixed emotions. Critically, the game has received decent reviews, with a 79/84 Metacritic score, which is a solid return, albeit lower than previous games in the series.
A Tale of Two Factions
However, user reviews tell a different story. On Metacritic, they're less than stellar, while on Steam, the game boasts a "Mostly Positive" rating. This divide is reflected on the Dragon Age Reddit page, where some fans are expressing hyperbolic disappointment, while others are hailing it as the best BioWare RPG to date.
The Reddit Divide
A recent post on the subreddit highlights this massive divide, suggesting that it's a normal phenomenon for the series. The post humorously notes that the community is filled with extreme reactions, ranging from "This is the worst Dragon Age experience I've ever had" to "This is the best game I've ever played."
A Familiar Pattern?
While it's true that Dragon Age: Inquisition and Dragon Age 2 received similar reactions, the divide wasn't as intense. Dragon Age 2 lacked the same level of enthusiasm, while Dragon Age: Inquisition saw more measured takes from both sides. This time around, the passion is palpable, with fans on either side of the argument.
