Dragon Age II throws out the sprawling world-saving of its predecessor for a more intimate, character-driven story. Combat is a flashy, action-oriented affair, emphasizing combos and crowd control that prioritizes spectacle over tactical depth. Players will likely remember the game for its central protagonist, Hawke, and the compelling relationships forged with companions over a decade of trials in the city of Kirkwall.
