Dragon Age: The Veilguard Faces Internal Struggles and Review Bombing

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a more focused and faster-paced entry in the series compared to Dragon Age: Inquisition, featuring open zones rather than a full open-world. The game introduces Rook, the protagonist, who teams up with familiar characters like Varric to tackle classic RPG challenges, including battling demons and blightspawn. The combat system is engaging, allowing weapon switching and class-specific abilities, though players are locked into their chosen class from the start. The companion system is simplified but effective, with a well-written and diverse group of characters. However, the writing sometimes feels too modern and quippy, reminiscent of Marvel-style dialogue, which may not suit all players.

"Diablo 4 Season 3: Anticipation Builds for Upcoming Release and Endgame Potential"

Diablo 4's "Season of Blood" offers a mix of fun and frustration for casual players, with over 100 hours of gameplay experience. The season introduces new vampire-themed powers and cosmetics, engaging Blood Harvest events, and challenging Uber bosses. However, the game's endgame balance issues, itemization woes, and the always-online requirement cast a shadow over the experience. Despite these issues, the core combat remains enjoyable, and the game doesn't deserve all the hate it receives from some quarters. The review suggests that Blizzard should prioritize more frequent updates, community transparency, and thorough testing to improve Diablo 4's long-term appeal.

"Age of Wonders 4 Launches with Tips and Accolades"

Age Of Wonders 4, a strategy 4X game with elements of roleplaying, is out now. Players use magic to explore, expand, and exploit their way towards exterminating rival fantasy factions. The game has flavourful side quests, but large military rumbles can become alienating due to the breadth of powers and spells. The UI is generally clear, but with multiple races and unit types in a fight, it can be overwhelming. Age Of Wonders 4 is available on Steam for £42/$50.
