Dragon Age 2

Dragon Age 2. What’s there to say about this game? It definitely doesn’t live up to Dragon Age: Origins at all. While Dragon Age 2 had a cool idea for a story, and while I think I enjoyed it overall I can’t help but feel like Dragon Age 2 was poorly executed. It feels like a rushed product. Dragon Age 2 shines in its gameplay and story. The story takes place during 10 years of the main characters life and it picks up around the time Origins is ending. The stakes don’t feel as big as they did in Origins but because of the way the story is told, it allows the player to get immersed and build relationships, friendships and enemies, and witness the outcome of their decisions. Dragon Age 2s weak point is that it reuses assets, maps, locations way too much. It’s a shame. It’s blatantly obvious this game was rushed to market. If you have GamePass and have never played the Dragon Age games this game is worth playing at least once but it’s the weakest game in the trilogy by far.
Dragon Age: Origins > Dragon Age: Inquisition > Dragon Age 2
Pros:
Characters (companions etc)
Story
Gameplay
Graphics (for its time)
Cons:
The games reuse of locations
Sidequests
Played on: Xbox Series X via Xbox Game Pass + purchased the DLC
Review score: 2.5/5
