10/10 would optimize game data again!

I do not recommend this game. All dragon age games are different, but this one is just bad. By no means am I one of the people who only enjoyed Origins. The first Dragon Age game I played was Inquisition, before dropping back and playing through the others years later. But this game is terrible.
- Both writing and gameplay holds your hand throughout the game.
- Writing is very repetitive; the writing team seem to think your memory lasts about 15 seconds at most.
- Very few bits of travelling adventure dialogue is interesting. It's mostly just bland conversation.
- Most "choices" are the same choice reworded. For example:
> "Do you like pineapple on pizza?"
* 'Serious'.............Yes.
* 'Jest'...................Who doesn't?
* 'Thumbs Up'.....I love pineapples on pizza!
* 'Flirty'.................Nice Hair
- The few times choices have a little bit of effect there is a popup to let you know as if its the devs saying "Hey look, see! Your choices do matter!"
- Most of the puzzles are overly basic, only found one that felt okay I guess.
- The combat is fine at first but gets pretty dull, and the lack of decent writing to hold up the game makes it not worth continuing.
This game does have some nice little tidbits sprinkled in, but I cannot bring myself to continue playing it just for the occasional "oh that's cool".
2/10

Man the tutorial is drawn out, would be fine if you didn't have to complete it
12 times to count towards your 100% completion rate. Pretty much just zombie your way through it with a video open on your other monitor or something is the way to go.

I do like this game a lot, they've made quite a few Quality of Life improvements compared to 5. However, there are quite a few times when one of us will crash to the desktop. Which is frustrating because if your the host, everyone else gets kicked, and if your not the host then your not able to rejoin until the mission is over. And any of that loot you collected before crashing is gone.

In addition, there's always 1 or 2 of us at random that get desynced. So on their screen they will be firing at the enemy, when for everyone else they will be shooting at a wall or at you. This is problematic for a game that has friendly fire as it has gotten us unfairly killed quite a lot.

The pacing can feel a bit off, without spoilers, there are times in the campaign you cant access all of your equipment, while introducing new difficult enemies. This makes it more difficult than necessary. I can only imagine how hard it is for people who don't have a full party when playing.



Original Review on EDF6 Due to people complaining about Epic:

Haven't played long, but i prefer Epic Games to PSN blocking countries.

It also states that you need an Epic account in under Additional Notes in "Requirements to Play". People complaining about this are the same people who get trapped for not reading fineprint.

Reinstalled after years of not playing to see if I could rekindle my love for the game.
It is Beyond infested with bots. All snipers that rush around the map and snap their aim towards you in a single frame. "players" blasting deafening audio while being hidden from the mute selection so your either stuck with it or have to disable voice completely in the settings. Constant auto vote kicking for anyone who is not a bot. Chat being spammed with links to buy bots or youtube promotions. It's simply just not a game anymore.

Either this needs to be fixed, or this walking corpse of a "game" needs to be shutdown.

It's just great

One of the better character creators i've seen, though not the hand and feet not adjusting to scale is a bit wack. At the time of this review there are constant crashes so you will need to save frequently. I have changed the settings to 30fps which seems to make it crash a little less but its still annoying, as myself and many others have this issue with hardware that is more than enough.

I do not think this will ever get fixed, but I still recommend giving it a try since its free.

great game

Great game, highly recommend

Nice free game, just wish there were a few more levels

I enjoy this game a lot. Yes the Ai is a bit simple but something about it keeps me playing. However, as it stands its very unstable. I have not had a single playthrough without any crashes. Multiplayer is even worse, sometimes even ruining the save rendering it unplayable. I think they knew this was an issue before publishing it because it is really easy to rejoin an ongoing game, but it's still really irritating to be desynced, crash, or get soft locked every few turns past 50 or so.
Singleplayer has similar issues though aren't nearly as common. At this moment if you really want to get this game I would get it at a discount of at least 20%.

Tl;dr
Its good when it works

Edit:
Singleplayer seems to be stable now, but after 2 years since release the multiplayer has gotten worse and completely unplayable with only just 2 players. Despite this, they are happy to keep selling DLC at fairly high prices. The forced reliance on using paradox servers is just silly.
