An unexpected choice - Dragon Age: The Veilguard was Time Magazine's Game of the Year
The authoritative Time magazine has traditionally published a list of the best games of the outgoing year with detailed comments on its choice.
Here's What We Know
According to Time, the best novelty of 2024 was one of the most controversial games - Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Its release divided the public into two camps: some consider it a worthy continuation of the once famous series, and others call it a complete failure and argue that it has nothing to do with the past parts of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
The author of the material Time so argued his choice:
Hats off to the most advanced character creation system ever introduced to video games. You can spend hours fine-tuning a character's appearance, as everything from bone structure to tissue placement is viewed from every angle. The character creator is also fully inclusive, not only in terms of race but also gender, including non-binary pronouns...
...The Veilguard feels like a refreshing addition to a series that is still heavy on lore, but doesn't feel too dense to detract from the pure fun of killing demons. If there's one word to describe Dragon Age: The Veilguard that marks it as TIME's Game of the Year, it would be: Satisfying.
The full top ten games according to Time looks like this:
- Dragon Age: The Veilguard;
- Astro Bot;
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth;
- Silent Hill 2;
- Neva;
- Alan Wake 2: Night Springs and Alan Wake 2: The Lake House;
- Black Myth: Wukong;
- Star Wars Outlaws;
- Lego Horizon Adventures;
- Helldivers 2.
