More about Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition

Of the 500 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 8 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,872 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 368 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 1,743 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (currency); the score docks it lightly for that.

Finishing takes 49.4 hours; clearing it takes 104, which is 2.1 times the campaign.

A timeless masterpiece that shows how far the gaming industry has fallen. Despite being an older game Dragon Age Origins provided me with an incredible experience. Playing this classic today really opens your eyes to a harsh reality showing you exactly how much the gaming industry has declined and how modern RPGs lost their true soul. The best part of this game is the writing and the characters. From that very first...
