Man, Veilguard is being covered a lot.
Honestly, this sounds potentially good or even great.
Two things though:
Maybe it could’ve been a good combat-focused fantasy game with linear missions instead of being forced to include some lame dialogue wheel and pretending it’ll appeal to Dragon Age fans.
So I guess Kingdoms of Amalur-style combat but it doesn’t look fun or challenging. Story seems like it apparently jumps off of Inquisition which is fair but I could never be bothered to really play or care for that much.
How they got to this from “serious dark fantasy RPG” I don’t know. I can see the obvious Mass Effect influences, but other than the cutscene conversations it feels weaker than even Andromeda.
I agree. I was so convinced it’s a hero shooter/MOBA/whatever that I checked the description and was shocked it said single player RPG. Hell, I was surprised when it revealed there is a player character.
They 100% don’t seem to realise what people liked about the games.
Can’t say much about the game/DLC personally as I haven’t played it yet, but what you’re looking at seems the be the premium bundle, which is a separate listing. The normal DLC listing is at 63%, mixed.
A common negative review complaint also seems to be performance issues, so it’s not really just the difficulty.
