5. Combat is fast and fluid
This sense of momentum carries over to combat, which is much more visceral in The Veilguard. The final blow in a combo is a powerful hit that deals more damage than the preceding attacks. You can block with the left bumper, and if you time it right, you can parry, which will slow the enemy down temporarily.
There’s also a two-stage dodge: press B once to side-step and double-tap to do a bigger dodge. You can even jump over attacks, and you don’t need to restock arrows as they replenish over time. Overall, combat is fast, dynamic, and will be more welcoming for first-time Dragon Age players.
