    Dragon Age: Inquisition represents a glorious return to form for the series, with its huge world to explore, great cast of characters, and immensely satisfying combat and character progression. Despite its flaws, this is easily a contender for RPG of the year, and a must-have for most any gamer.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition is incredible. ...If you haven’t played a Dragon Age game before, now is the time. While Inquisition isn’t completely welcoming to newcomers, there are plenty of resources both in and out of the game to catch you up on what you’ve missed. If you’ve already played the first two games and haven’t picked this up yet, what are you waiting for?

    Set aside a good few weeks of your life, because the Inquisition takes no prisoners when it comes to your free time. An RPG that manages to successfully tie an engrossing, engaging narrative to a vast, explorable world, BioWare's fantasy epic is one of the studio's greatest achievements. With superb writing and rewarding gameplay, Dragon Age: Inquisition offers just about everything that you could want from a genre that's been sorely missed on the PS4.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition is a huge game. And I’m not even sure the word ‘huge’ does it justice. There’s so many places to go and so much to do that it’s a bit overwhelming, but also refreshing that I can choose what to do, where to do it, and when. ...Inquisition is just flat out awesome -- not the most eloquent phrase to use in a review, but it’s true.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition is the game that Dragon Age II should have been. Set in one of the most diverse and awe-inspiring game worlds in quite some time, Inquisition will have you searching every nook and cranny, spreading your influence as far as you can get it. Let down by a few bugs and some questionable design choices, it's still one of the year’s best RPGs. Easily.

    You'll want to turn your completionist tendencies off in order to adequately balance out the marginal filler and the mind-blowingly essential. Manage to do this and you'll be rewarded with one of the most involving RPG narratives going. If you ever make it out of the pub.

    7.5

    Dragon Age: Inquisition

    This game is a mixed bug. While it has a potential of being a real gem, but in the end it is a worst part of the series. The main story is solid and is build atop of this really good lore of its predecesors. The companios are interesting and well written. Even the decision making is quite good and there are some ncie twists. Then why only 7.5? The fighting is mediocre. They tried to keep the tactical element of origins, but make it more action based and in the end neither of those elements is good. What is even worst is that it have all this huge amount of completely low quality filler content. It doesn't give anything substantial to the user, but bloated the game and play time leaving the interesting parts spread realy thin. If they could have fix the combat and make the game more concentrated it could easily have been 9.0 game or even more, but like this it feels wrong to even give it 8.0

    I think there is a good game buried somewhere here

    The combat is janky and very hard to control, there is about a million side quests and very few have actually something to show, the rest is just filler quests to make the game unnecessarily long. It's the second time i try to play this game and i got burned out very fast, last time i got to skyhaven (i guess this is the name) and did a few more hours of quests before getting burned out, this time i barely played 10 hours and feel like uninstalling it already, not worthy.

    A sprawling fantasy epic. The gameplay is tight, the worlds varied and interesting, ultimately making this one of the better fantasy themed RPGs of the generation. But, the story is weak in general, and easy. I steamrolled through bosses by the halfway point, and didn't find much need to worry about my party (or care about their stories). The open world nature is filled with the points of interests and pitfalls that we'd expect. Nice that it's now frequently on sale, but and a worthy play, but not essential.

    A wonderful RPG, which I think is a bit generally underrated. This game has really everything: a great and intriguing story, a gorgeously presented world and interesting and versatile characters. And most importantly it has a lot of enormous dragons!

    Dragon age Inquisition is the last game Bioware did a good job. This game has a great story, although you need all the DLC to experience it fully. The combat system was greatly improved over the previous titles offering good varied playstyles. A lot of characters were done great, a couple characters return from the prior titles. The graphics were great for its time. All in all a good game.
