IGN 9/10 BY: Leana Hafer

Leana Hafer doesn't have bias!
"...she loves history..."

"We also unveiled the blockbuster storytelling of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, an epic experience based in an expansive world, filled with arresting visuals, and introducing a cast of diverse, complex characters, and incredible combat all tied together by a rich single-player narrative."
-Electronic Arts (EA) Q1 2025 Earnings Call


Edit 11/19/24:
"The overall result is that Dragon Age: The Veilguard isn’t the golden era BioWare game that I had hoped it would be."
-IGN

It's disappointing to see companies use writers like Leana as cannon fodder.

you REALLY dont want them to link the bios of all the other 9+ reviews, every single one of them is some LGBTP+++ rainbow... but you already know that, that's why you're on a burner account

wait, are you telling me other reviewers that received early copies might have personal incentive to make the game sound better than it is?

Leana Hafer's bias:

as a non-binary person myself, Veilguard includes some of the most authentic representation of coming to terms with gender stuff – and having to navigate your family's reaction to it – I've seen yet in a game.

Options for people who want them? Oh noes!

Too bad there's no option in there that makes it a good game.

Omg. I can feel that burn from here.

Very on brand for the reviewer, I will give him that.

[Keith]

It was a good review

[Shirayuki Mizore]

Concord got 7 from IGN. So it is at least better than Concord a bit.

[Arcvox]

I love it when people look exactly like you expect them to.

Made by wokes, reviewed by wokes, played by nobody :D In the end, money talks and they won't get much.
