One of this year's most exciting game releases for RPG fans is Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the latest title from the storied developer BioWare and its first new mainline entry in its fan-favorite fantasy series since 2014's Dragon Age: Inquisition. Players have been waiting over 10 years for the next Dragon Age adventure, and now, its scheduled October 31 launch is just days away.

According to the review aggregation site Metacritic, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a "Generally Favorable" score of about 83/100 based on 74 reviews carried out on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5, with most of the evaluations performed using Sony's console. Most reviews give the RPG a score that's somewhere in the 80-100 range, though several reviewers were more critical and gave it a 60 or 70. Here's a roundup of some notable quotes and scores:
