    Emphasis on the roleplay tag with this game.

    By nightebondo | Review Date: Sep 03, 2020 | PC

    This game's focus is 90% on the roleplay/story part. I dare say that anyone who dislike this game thus so because combat is as important or more to them as/than the story. Dragon age Origins is far better than its sequel... Read Full Review

    A masterpiece RPG that makes you feel part of something epic

    By Ravenhoe | Review Date: Feb 01, 2015 | PC

    Dragon Age must be one of the best RPG games around (as far as western RPGs go). The scope of its campaign alone truly makes you feel part of a grand battle of good vs. evil and in this case evil dwells both underground ... Read Full Review
