The review embargo for Dragon Age: The Veilguard is reported to lift today, ahead of the game’s release on October 31st. However, one website has accidentally broken the embargo, giving us a small glimpse of what to expected.

Noisy Pixel presumably got a little too excited and posted their review early. While it has now been taken down, it also appeared briefly on OpenCritic.

While I didn’t manage to peruse the full review before it was hastily taken down, a quote from it did appear on Opencritic, along with the score of 8.5 out of 10.

“Dragon Age: The Veilguard may have hit a few big stumbles along its path to release, but ultimately manages to deliver an innovative and fully-realized take on the series’ world, exploration, and combat. “read the quote. “The role-playing aspect has taken a minor hit in the process, but the game still boasts one of the best casts its studio has ever created, an engaging plot, and answers to many long-held questions, in addition to the best battle system in BioWare history.”

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has proven slightly divisive since it was officially revealed. The initial trailer’s tone caught fans off guard with how different it seemed to paint the new game compared to the grittier style of the previous titles. But gameplay released later on seemed to ease at least some of the doubt. That said, there is still a notable presence online rooting for the game’s failure. Despite that, it’s currently the number one pre-ordered game on PlayStation, indicating that people are at somewhat excited for it.

Of course, it’s rarely ever a good idea to pre-order a game, chums. Best keep your money firmly in your wallet until you can get some idea of a game’s state at launch.
