    Can someone give me a rundown on why there‘s so much negativity revolving around this? I saw the review thread and it seemed to have scored quite a few good reviews. I‘m not informed regarding the matter at all, the last Bioware game I‘ve played was Dragon Age 2, so I‘m genuinely clueless.

      Can someone give me a rundown on why there‘s so much negativity revolving around this?

      First five minutes of SkillUp’s review is a good rundown. It seems like a mindless action clickathon with imitation of gameplay seen in better games, a safe sterile story and a large chunk of world design repurposed leftovers from someone’s abandoned Overwatch-but-DA ambitions.

      edit: also, I note how reviews that peg this as a “return to form” are written and SkillUp’s has video to back his opinions and it looks pretty damning.

        I don’t really know what to say about it at this point, but as I loved inquisition I’ll probably love this one. The best thing to do is wait for release and make your own opinion.

          Never seen mortismal and I’ve only seen SkillUp a few times. I don’t really follow or need any review at release time, I’m not touching any game that’s 50€ or more until two years have passed and it’s in the vicinity of 75% off.

      They changed a few key components about what some people were looking for in a Dragon Age game, which Dragon Age 2 did as well.
