Inquisition is a triumph and proves that despite some missteps along the way, BioWare hasn't lost its touch.

Inquisition is not defined by the traditions it returns to, but by the new directions it forges for this magnificent fantasy universe.

Obviously I cherry picked the best of the lot, but even the negative reviews were along the lines of "may not be the best thing RPG ever but still the best in a while". Lowest scores I've seen so far were 3.2 out of five (still described as 'good' by the reviewer) and 7/10 (in Swedish, no clue what it says...).
