The recent release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard sees the Dragon Age series hit a milestone, the franchise's latest and fourth entry arriving 15 years after its debut with Dragon Age: Origins and a full decade since the launch of 2014's Game of the Year, Dragon Age: Inquisition. Dragon Age: The Veilguard's tumultuous development cycle meant the game went through several changes before finally arriving in the form players are experiencing now, and those changes seem to be a net positive given the game's critical and fan reception. A large part of what seems to be making The Veilguard resonate with players is the game's combat, which feels like a natural evolution given the series' past.
