Dragon Age: Inquisition Testübersicht - Weltweite Reviews mit fantastischen Wertungen (2024)

Noch etwas mehr als eine Woche bis zum Release von Dragon Age: Inquisition, doch bereits heute ist das Test-Embargo für das Rollenspiel gefallen. Entsprechend veröffentlichen zahlreiche internationale Magazine und Webportale ihre Reviews und Wertungen. Die überwiegende Meinung zum Bioware-Epos fällt dabei mehr als positiv aus. So kommt der Tester von Polygon zum Beispiel zu der Erkenntnis: "Dragon Age: Inquisition ist eines der größten Spiele, die ich jemals gespielt habe, und ich will immer noch mehr". Am Ende steht eine herausragende Wertung von 9,5 von 10 Punkten. Auch PC Games-Tester Stefan Weiss spricht von einem Content-Monster.

Auf eine Wertung verzichten wir zunächst jedoch, da wir noch lange nicht alles vom Spiel gesehen haben. PC Gamer lobt die fantastische Kampagne sowie die großen offen Questgebiete und vergibt am Ende eine sehr gute 87. "Ein großartiges Spiel in epischem Maßstab", so das Fazit des Testers von Joystiq. IGN kritisiert eine etwas schwache Geschichte, aber auch hier überwiegen die positiven Aspekte, die zu einer Wertung von 8,8 führen. Weitere Eindrücke der internationalen Kollegen lest ihr in der folgenden Testübersicht. Dragon Age: Inquisition erscheint am 20. November 2014 für PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 und Xbox One.

Dragon Age: Inquisition - Testübersicht

"Gefangen in Thedas! Aber das gilt im positiven Sinn. Zwar gibt's Mängel, doch überwiegt das intensive und gute Gefühl, Teil eines großen, modernen Bioware-Rollenspiels zu sein."

Joystiq - 5 von 5
"Dragon Age: Inquisition is BioWare's reaffirmation of what it's capable of delivering. It's a gorgeous game on an epic scale. Rich in character and story, it creates a fantasy world with plausible social rules you can get lost in. It makes you feel that you aren't just exploring a new world, but helping shape it at various levels of society. Inquisition sets the bar for what a blockbuster RPG should be."

Polygon - 9,5 von 10
"This is the astounding scope I referred to above. It's no longer as simple as how your choices affect your small band of adventurers — though that can vary quite a lot as well. Dragon Age: Inquisition puts the fate of the world in your hands in a way that few role-playing games have done before. And even after another 80 hours devoted to it, it's a world I cannot wait to return to in whatever BioWare does next. I don't know what higher praise I could give."

Gameinformer - 9,5 von 10
"After two disparate entries with different philosophies, Dragon Age's identity crisis is over. With a mixture of open-world exploration, entertaining combat, and top-tier characters, the team at BioWare has found a winning formula that isn't shackled to either Dragon Age: Origins or Dragon Age II. Inquisition is not defined by the traditions it returns to, but by the new directions it forges for this magnificent fantasy universe."

Gamespot - 9 von 10
"Dragon Age: Inquisition is a wonderful game and a lengthy pilgrimage to a magical world with vital thematic ties to one we already know."

IGN - 8,8 von 10
"When I'd finally slain my first dragon in Dragon Age: Inquisition, I felt a little sad at the thought that I was probably beginning to exhaust its seemingly endless stream of content. But then I saw the quest ticker: "Dragons Slayed - 1 out of 10." In all my hours, I had only ever seen three. It's a surprisingly huge, dense world, and I soon realized there were still entire sandboxes I hadn't even set foot in. Even in my hundredth hour, I'm still discovering. Despite its less than compelling plot, I still want to go back to explore and fight through every nook and cranny of Dragon Age: Inquisition, until every dragon's skull is mounted on my wall."

PC Gamer - 87 von 100
"A fantastic campaign and massive open environments, soured only slightly by minor, persistent flaws."

DigitalSpy - 4 von 5
So long as you're prepared to put the required time in, Dragon Age: Inquisition has plenty to give.

Eurogamer - 8 von 10
"Its not-so-fatal flaw is that in offering so much, both in terms of player choice and in going for peak-BioWare in every aspect of the game, those individual moments, characters, activities and plot beats often don't benefit from the focus and importance needed to unlock their full potential. Still, that's hardly a crime, and one more than made up for by the many high points that I can't name directly for fear of spoilers, the hours and hours both adventuring in Thedas as it was always meant to be, and sitting at the highest levels of its politics. The true power of the Inquisition may be illusory, but that doesn't stop it being satisfying to wield while it lasts."

Videogamer - 8 von 10
"Its greatest strength, however, is that it also manages to make the Inquisition itself feel extremely important to the world of Thedas. Almost everything you do (even the monotonous side quests) feeds into this idea that your forces are expanding and your influence growing. By the end of the game, it becomes clear that you're not just going to save the world, but change it irreversibly. And that's a pretty powerful feeling."
