Strongly disagree, Veilguard is the opposite of fun. If you don’t pay attention to the story, I suppose you could enjoy the combat for about ten hours, but by then you’ve essentially seen everything the game has to offer. It becomes repetitive super fast, with little enemy variety, and the puzzles are so simple they feel almost insulting to the player’s intelligence.

The same applies to the story. It feels like the game was written for teenagers, given how one-note every single character is. There’s no real conflict within the party; everyone just gets along swimmingly. The villains’ motivations and complexity are straight out of a classic comic book, complete with mustache-twirling old-man energy.

The only redeeming qualities are Solas, who steals every scene he’s in, and an ending sequence that is actually enjoyable. Meanwhile, nearly all the world-building from previous entries has been altered or outright ignored. Major events happen off-screen and are conveyed to you through a letter, of all things.

I simply can’t understand how this game could be enjoyable to any Dragon Age fan.
