TLDR
- Dragon Age: The Veilguard has mostly positive user reviews on Steam, but receives lower ratings on Metacritic, among others.
- Part of the criticism of the game is that it is too “woke”, and EA has been accused of withholding review copies from places where the publisher expected negative reviews.
- Despite the storm, the game is still near the top of Steam’s best seller list, and it also set a new record for concurrent players for a game from both EA and Bioware.
The summary is done by AI service from OpenAi. The quality of the content is confirmed by Gamer.no journalists.
On October 31st, EA and Bioware released Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The game has become the latest symbol of the culture war in the gaming industry, with widely divided opinions among fans and critics.
The latest Dragon Age feature has ‘mostly positive effects’ user reviews on Steam – where 76 percent of almost 10,000 users recommend the game.
The game is near the top of the best seller list on the Valve store, behind only Call of Duty and Counter-Strike 2. It peaked at a scant 85,000 players on the PC platform – a record for Bioware, which previously managed 59,817 for the legendary Mass Effect Edition from 2021 as the best result.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard has a different character gallery.
EA
In comparison, the console version has an average of 3.9 out of 10 points from users on the collection site Metacritic. The PC version is down to 2.2 points.
Steam also requires you to own and play a product before you’re allowed to comment. Metacritic does not require this.
Criticized for “woke”
As with Dustborn I am the summerthe criticism against Dragon Age: The Veilguard doesn’t seem to be much about the game itself. The most negative thing the voices believe that Dragon Age: The Veilguard leans too much towards “woke” and “THEY”. These concepts are often referred to as left-wing politics, often with a focus on political correctness and diversity of gender, race and orientation.
“Woke” and “THEY”

Woke is often used pejoratively to describe a person who opposes racism and discrimination against minorities.
DEI is an acronym for diversity, equity and inclusion – or diversity, equality and inclusion. The concept is about treating people equally, regardless of background or identity.
Depending on the choices you make in the game, you may encounter a character who is not bilingual. You can also choose to make your character transgender, if you wish. Or, you can choose to be something else.
On top of everything, EA has also been accused of withholding review copies of the game from websites and others where they expected criticism. Fextralife claims, among other things, that access was denied after the website indicated that it was negative about aspects of the experience.
EA itself has not commented on the allegations.
The reviews that are out there are relatively positive for the game. On Metacritic, the game has an overall score of 85 out of 100 from critics, while on Opencritic the score is 82 out of 100.
These numbers will probably change a bit in the coming weeks, as more reviews come in, so the final result remains to be seen.
Apparently, Gamer.no got the code for the game first on launch day. Our reviewer is working on the game, and will provide his assessment when it is ready.
