Fears Dragon Age The Veilguard might be unsuccessful appear unfounded, as the game is already smashing it on Steam immediately at launch.

The Veilguard has an 84 critic rating and mostly positive player reviews on Steam. Negative user reviews on Metacritic criticize the game's LGBTQ representation. Review bombing efforts have dropped the game to a 3.

The confirmed scores are quite good in the sum total history of the franchise. For instance, GOTY winner Dragon Age Inquisition has a 75% positive score on Steam. Dragon Age 2 has an 80%. Dragon Age Origins has the unsurprisingly best 87% score. Veilguard is certainly in line with the series as a whole.
