    They coined the term “HR in the room” with dragon age veilguard and called the entire dialog tree in every scenario terrible when they only took a single dialog path. As I have personally played the game and enjoy it as do several people I know, it’s pretty clear they were upset by the fact that they weren’t included in review copies. Now that’s not to say veilguard doesn’t have problems because it clearly does, but dialog in my current playthrough has been perfectly fine. There have been other reviews like this as well for lower profile games, DAV unfortunately was a very high profile game reviewed by a disgruntled YouTuber with a large platform to voice their opinions. The real tragedy is that the meme stuck and veilguard will always be labeled as this terrible “woke” entry into the franchise when in reality it was perfectly fine.

    To put it simply, Skillup is not genuine in their reviews and in some cases very clearly have an “agenda” to push. I’m not a fan of that behavior, so I’m not a fan of Skillup.
