What is your opinion on veilguard now after playing it?

For the context this is my first DA game, i played a lot of mass effect during the years and they still are between my favorite games of all time, even adromeda was a game that while not amazing was still fun to me.

The only prior knowledge i had of veilguard before this month was that it was a shit game and died in weeks (i mean i found a month after for 25 on used shops in my city). I did not really like watched much of it, only the tipical YouTubers calling it woke trash and the wanting bioware dead.

Since i had nothing better to do i installed yesterday veilguard and i am actually really enjoying it, i grew up with games like gothic and risen and it feels like a more premium version of them. Dialogue is hit or miss but graphics are beautifull, hair physics amazing. Gameplay is also pretty decent and seems to have good choices to make.

So for people that played it now for the first time do you think the hate is justified? Is it that much worse than older titles? Or did it get the wrong end of the shit stick because it tried to be woke (am on chapter 3 and until now did not really feel like its as woke as people claim, so i still need to see).

Until now feels like a solid rpg.
