Bioware’s recent showcase for their upcoming game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, has left fans with mixed feelings. Despite the excitement surrounding the game’s teaser trailer, the overall response has been negative. As a gamer myself, I’m trying to understand why this is the case.
Firstly, it’s important to note that as fans, we have high expectations for a game that we’ve been waiting for over a decade. If Bioware disappoints us after such a long wait, it’s only natural to feel frustrated. However, I’m struggling to see what exactly has rubbed everyone the wrong way about the teaser trailer. Some have compared it to Fortnite, but personally, I don’t see the same resemblance. While the art design and vibe may be brighter and more colorful than previous Dragon Age games, each installment has always had its own unique style.
To gain a better understanding of the game, let’s take a closer look at the gameplay showcased during the event. Based on what was shown, I’m choosing to be optimistic about Veilguard. It seems to embody what Bioware games are best known for: creating a deep emotional connection with a diverse cast of characters and presenting players with heart-wrenching scenarios where tough sacrifices must be made. The ending of the gameplay demo already hints at the potential for an emotionally impactful experience.
One minor issue I have with Veilguard so far is the unnecessary “The” in the title. It feels out of place and disrupts the flow of the name. But overall, I believe that Bioware has the potential to deliver another compelling Dragon Age story.
Exploring New Games with Steam Next Fest
In other news, with the lack of major game releases during Summer Game Fest, I’m taking the opportunity to explore new games through Steam Next Fest. While there weren’t many surprise releases during the event, the Wholesome Games Direct did introduce four delightful titles that are now available to play. Additionally, since there aren’t many new games launching at the moment, it’s a perfect time to either try out demos of upcoming releases or revisit older games that have been left unfinished.
