Dragon Age: The Veilguard'll be out on Thursday—and if you're anything like me, you'll thoroughly hesitate when starting a new game, made to suffer as you're asked to make a judgement call on just how hard you want your high-magic romp to be. Well, having sunk about 37 hours into the thing at the time of writing, I can tell you that Underdog difficulty—which wants you to "overcome punishing odds" is far from being too hard—if anything, it's just about right.
Some background info for this recommendation. I am, generally speaking, not terrible at videogames (I know I know, hold your applause). I like my action RPGs quite a bit, and I enjoy a good soulslike—but Underdog is far from giving me that nail-biting fix. Rather, I'm thanking my lucky stars that I did pick it, because it feels like the goldilocks standard for players who are familiar with the genres at play.
