For a year, on and off, I’ve been thinking about Dragon Age: The Veilguard. More specifically, I’ve been thinking about my Dragon Age: The Veilguard review – the five-star review I wrote for Eurogamer. It plagues me. Because to be blunt, I’m not happy with how it sits. I don’t think The Veilguard is a five-star game and definitely don’t think it’s BioWare’s best game. To have suggested such a thing has haunted me for 12 months, particularly as new information about Veilguard’s troubled development has arisen and we’ve learned how a Mass Effect team commandeered the project in order to rescue it, overriding the Dragon Age team at its core.
