Can someone give me a rundown on why there‘s so much negativity revolving around this? I saw the review thread and it seemed to have scored quite a few good reviews. I‘m not informed regarding the matter at all, the last Bioware game I‘ve played was Dragon Age 2, so I‘m genuinely clueless.

First five minutes of SkillUp's review is a good rundown. It seems like a mindless action clickathon with imitation of gameplay seen in better games, a safe sterile story and a large chunk of world design repurposed leftovers from someone's abandoned Overwatch-but-DA ambitions.

edit: also, I note how reviews that peg this as a "return to form" are written and SkillUp's has video to back his opinions and it looks pretty damning.

I don't really know what to say about it at this point, but as I loved inquisition I'll probably love this one. The best thing to do is wait for release and make your own opinion.

Never seen mortismal and I've only seen SkillUp a few times. I don't really follow or need any review at release time, I'm not touching any game that's 50€ or more until two years have passed and it's in the vicinity of 75% off.

They changed a few key components about what some people were looking for in a Dragon Age game, which Dragon Age 2 did as well.
