Dragon Age: The Veilguard Comes Out Swinging, Already EA's Biggest Single Player Game on Steam | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is now available, and early indicators point to BioWare's RPG being a hit, managing to unseat Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to become EA's biggest single-player launch on Steam, with over 70,000 concurrents recorded, and that ahead of the weekend. While somewhat split critically, at least on Valve's egalitarian platform, it seems players love the game, which at the time of writing enjoys a Mostly Positive rating drawn from over 1,200 user reviews.

IGN ran the numbers, and they're pretty impressive when you consider (not counting Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which was always going to be a crowd-pleaser) that BioWare's last two games were Mass Effect: Andromeda and ANTHEM, neither of which were received nearly so warmly. We quite enjoyed The Veilguard, too, and you can read our full thoughts in our review.

With five years of experience as a freelance journalist and mercenary wordsmith, RPGs are his first great love, but strategy and tactics games are a close second, genres in which he is only too happy to specialize.

I’m glad it’s being received well, particularly on Steam. I’m roughly six hours in, having just beat the Lyrium Ghoul boss fight and think the whole experience has been amazing. The game is very well paced, the combat is crunchy and a lot more satisfying than I expected, and the story has some interesting beats. I can’t wait to play more tomorrow.
