“I love this game soooo so much! It's a beloved childhood game for me that I played over 3 or 4 times on ps3. The characters in this game will stick with me forever, and those same characters are the reason I came back…”
“Hawke is a great protagonist and the companion writing is some of the best in the series. The reused environments are a problem and it feels rushed in places but the story and characters carry it.”
“Still a good game. The side quests and same dungeons become quite repetitive. Your choices do matter, which is very nice, and it was nice to see some old faces from Origins. Played as a mage, as usually in these kind of…”

“Dragon Age 2 is a good game, that infamously had very little development time. Combat is very good, characters abilities are very satisfying and diverse, although you need to play at least on hard to engage with the…”
“Rivals The first game. Yes its that good”
“maybe the best game ever, i fear the haters are wrong. insane what they were able to accomplish given the time/resource limitations during development”

“I wish they would remaster this game to what they planned for it to be originally, instead of the rushed job they forced on the developers. That aside, this game is one of my all-time top 5 favourites and I periodically…”
“I have played this game numerous times when I was much younger, and now that I'm coming back to it... It's just as enthralling as it was. There may be a lot of similar, if not same areas in the game, but it still is as…”

“Secretly, my fav DA game. When I first started it the flaws where apparent and the short development time really showed up. But it makes up for the lack of intresting/non repetitive dungeons, by having a really…”
“Even though this game is older, I still love this game. I have always loved the companions in DA2 so much. Hawke is an amazing main character. There are some bugs and issues with the game but again, this game came out…”

“Basics: Gameplay: 6/10 Music/Art design: 7/10 Worldbuilding: 9/10 Story: 8/10 Replay value: 4/10 ------- Synopsis Our main hero is a survivor of first civilian town to get trounced by the army of doom from Dragon Age:…”
“Dragon Age 2 is a strange little title in that, if I had to put a number on it I would call it a 6 out of 10, but it's my favourite kind of 6/10 game, and in many ways I much prefer playing these kinds of games than…”
“Disregard my playing hours, i have completed this game 2 times in the past elsewhere. As for the game itself, this is by leaps and bounds the best in the franchise. Yes even above Origins. I really cannot for the life…”

“Dragon Age 2's first 10 hours were the most fun I had in a Dragon Age game. After that, the experience dragged a lot because of massive re-use of enemies and locations. It took me roughly 30 hours to complete the game,…”
“I'm not going to pretend this game doesn't recycle the same four dungeons like a college student reusing the same essay for different classes. Kirkwall is somehow both the most important city in Thedas and the most…”
“Please don't buy this game if you don't intend to spend literal hours skimming through every available bug-fix mod there is just to be able to finish one single damn questline. I gave up. Of my 16 hours of "playtime" I…”

“The greatest game ever made about disaster bisexuals. This is my once-a-year game no matter what's going on in my life.”

— a player, Steam review · 137 hrs played“this unrecommend is purely because you need the EA luncher and jump thou loops and holes to get your DLC to work, any other game you just click play and you have acces to them here you have to download extra shi change files etc, so unreasoable”
