More about Dragon Age™: The Veilguard
Players rate it 68 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 53 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 9 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 33 percent of the 1,958 reviews written there were positive, against 68 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
Finishing takes 28.9 hours; clearing it takes 78, which is 2.7 times the campaign.
Deck Verified, so no launch options and no controller remapping before it runs.

What players say
The dialogue is written as if the player is a 7 year-old with a 5 second attention span. Despite covering several countries, there is minimal world building. Locations look nice, but they all feel soulless. I didn't think Taash's questline would be as bad as all the anti-woke knobheads made it out to be, but it is BAD. Their content starts as interesting Dragon Age content, but eventually entirely revolves around...

A Longtime Dragon Age Fan, and One Playthrough Was Enough I've been a Dragon Age fan for years. I've played all the previous games multiple times, tried different choices, romances and world states. With The Veilguard , one playthrough was more than enough. The good first: the artwork and art style are beautiful, and the combat is fun. It does get repetitive after a while, but visually the game looks great. My...
I'd rather give this game a neutral review than a positive one, but unfortunately, there's no such option. Veilguard has so much more potential than it ever had a chance to show. While the game is not terrible, it definitely stands out from the rest of the DA series - and not in the best way. The characters lack depth, and the plot often makes you feel like you're just watching things happen rather than actually...
