Agreement—

Too brief and inconsequential to live up to expectations. One for Dragon Age lore obsessives and ardent completionists.

Hacking and slashing are the highlights of a so-so expedition to the Deep Roads in the Descent DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition

Agreement—

Dragon Age: Inquisition's second expansion is perhaps even less essential than the first, and that's a real shame given the add-on's intriguing premise. Even though there are a few beacons of light in the darkness, such as some meaty combat scenarios and stints of exciting exploration, The Descent is damaged by a disappointingly bad ending and too many underwhelming side quests.

Agreement—

Back when I reviewed Hakkon I remember concluding that it was a memorable if not essential extra journey into the rich world of Dragon Age: Inquisition, and on finishing The Descent I am left feeling much the same. Series fans will enjoy revisiting some of the franchise's origins and likely also enjoy airing their views on the latest major lore additions.

The Descent is a challenging yet unsatisfying experience that raises more questions than it answers.
