More about Dragon Age™ Inquisition

85 on Metacritic, 76 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.

This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 29 percent of the 1,746 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it. It carries the aggressive kind of in-app purchases, and the score already docks it for that. The sticker price is where the spending starts.

The main story runs 46.7 hours. Doing everything runs 129, 2.8 times as long.

Some positives... + Story is not as good as in the first and second one but still good + Combat is fun (I liked the combat in this one the best) + Exploration is enjoyable + Music is decent, not bad + Good graphics (this game is 12 years old, still looks amazing) + DLC is just OK (sets up the next game) + There ist more than 3-4 Dragons to fight and the fights are decent to...

Words cannot express how much I love this game. It's not for everyone's tastes, sure, but for those who will like it, they will like it a LOT.

Only Dragon Age I couldn't finish unfortunately... it's just so slow imo, it takes a really long time to pick up, and the characters just don't resonate with me much.
