Dragon age is exclusive?

Its comeing to windows (steam I assume), playstation 5, Series S/X.

Im also with people scoreing this on the low side.

Hearing about their "restart" of the project, where tons of "old guard" devs left, and then lateron, a series of producers, takeing turns to leave...
Thats a high turnover rate.    The fact that combat is so changed, the look & feel (neon pink colours?), of the game isn't really what old Dragon Age was (it doesn't feel like its a true dragon age game).  I'm expecting this to be a 7 out of 10, and only because reviewers are generous with scores. Fan score, will be lower.

Dragon Age is going to be great, new devs, old devs, same shit (nostalgia aside). I go with a 88; what I saw from the Xbox showcase is looking pretty darn good to me.



Indiana Jones: 87
Flight Sim: 84
Stalker 2: 77
Towerborne: 76
Age of Mythology: 82
Ara: 72
Avowed: 81



It's time for the year's first tally for the Xbox League. I've decided to do them once per quarter moving forward, but since the first half of the year has been rather slow for Xbox exclusives we only have 1 game to tally up here at Q2, namely Hellblade II which ended up at a score of 81.

So after 1 game we currently have @VersusEvil at a pretty convincing first place at 11 points and @Chicho at second place with 6 points.

With only 7 games left will anybody be able to close the gap? Very unlikely, but we shall see.

First reviews are in for Age of Mythology: Retold and for now it's sitting at a score of 80 with 11 reviews. Lower than most predictions as well as the original game's 89 on Metacritic, but a decent score nontheless.

"Age of Mythology Retold is fun, don’t get me wrong. The visual overhaul alone is enough to make playing this 22-year-old game easier, and the quality-of-life improvements sand down some of the older versions’ more annoying edges. However, with more substantial structural improvements in later Age of Empires games, plus with the likes of Ara: History Untold just around the corner, I’m just not sure Retold needed to exist."

This review upset me greatly
