    Combat is really janky and doesn't flow very well.
    Graphics are nice but nothing groundbraking which is ok.
    Story didn't draw me in at all.

    I can see why they went the exclusivity route with epic games.

    Can rate the game as "1" as it's just starts and I hadn't caught a single crash during the full-campaign playthrough (11 hours). Though there are bugs and glitches, some are really annoying: when you kill the boss and follow-up quest just doesn't start, so you have to abandon a mission and repeat from the beginning.

Everything else is a disaster.

    1. Storyline - there's none. Go kill bad guys, go grind boring missions to get "quest items" to open bad guys locations, repeat x10. I think there are smth like ~70 maximum sentences overall been written to tell you the whole story, though it's enough - there's no story. At least your average school essay "How I spent my summer on lockdown" would be much more interesting.
    2. Graphics - It's acceptable, could be better, but it is what it is.
    3. Looting/Crafting - totally useless. And it's a disaster for an ARPG game, especially if you like minmaxing your gear and stats. There's no need in crafting valorplates, you can finish the campaign with a starting one on "hard" difficulty. Life stones, charms, banners - don't even bother. Take any from the floor - equip and repeat the mapping.
    4. Skills - oh god why? The most basic skill tree ever. You can max out anything - you still don't need anything besides dodge lvl 1 and nothern techniques lvl 1. Resistances, spirit, vitality, might? Don't even bother. Re-roll is for free, you can't ruin anything.
    5. Combat system - lol. Thrash mobs are thrash, they are just there for slowing down your mapping experience. "Location bosses" and "Act bosses" are mostly mannequins, it takes ~30 seconds to learn the attack pattern while dodging around. Not a Souls experience. Not even close.

    TL;DR take Destiny and Souls gameplay, make it as boring as you can, cut off everything, don't bother with storyline at all, sell it with full price AAA project.

    Go better buy smth else or just watch TV.    … Expand

    If you want to play God of War with a terrible story line, useless grinding, and frustrating level design than this is the game for you. This game is the cherry on top for the 2020 COVID crisis. Welcome to "Anthem". If I could sum this game up in as few words as possible it would be two of the following:

    Polished Turd
    Lipstick on a pig

    Other than that, here's the problems. Combat has major issues. It's clunky and frustrating, and so full of particle effects that when 4-5 enemies are around you can barely see what you're doing. Also, there's NO animation cancelling. So you like that greatsword or hammer? Get ready to be animation locked for over a second every time you hit a button. Parry and dodge both can't be activated during an attack.
    It's very souls-y. By the end game, even with a balance of might and vitality, getting 2-3 shot by virtually every boss is a given. And with combo moves and an overabundance of invulnerability/invisibility/flying phases mixed with ground effects, getting hit into ground fire (which I swear 90% of the bosses use) makes you burn, then a follow up kills you while you lay in the fire.

    The end game is literally "enhanced" versions of all the story bosses and mini-bosses, except they have more AoE and ground effects. Then at max level, there's even further "enhanced" versions of all the bosses. It's completely braindead in it's design and getting loot doesn't even feel good.

    Bottom line?
    $60 artwork, $20 gameplay, $5 fun factor, $1 story.

    If you're in it entirely for the graphics, go for it. Otherwise just play anything else.    … Expand

    AAA Cashgrab, focusing on nothing but "oh shiny, oh wow particle effects! 10/10" reviewers.

    Developers hopped on the $70 price-hike train, charging more money for less and less quality. No, your next-gen shine and particle effects leap is not worth an additional $10. Mods do the same thing for 10-year-old games free of charge.

    The game is poor quality, combat is copy-paste and boring. Maps are copy-paste with different filters (Oh Shiny, still!). Basically, it's a decorated hallway simulator.

    No campaign at all. AT ALL. Farm the same 5-minute missions (go here, kill that) 20 times to collect tokens to unlock doors (mobile game???). Open the big door a couple of times, the game is over. Oh, and you talk to two different NPC's about how bad the bad guy is every once in a while.

    It's bad guys. Really, it's pathetically bad. The fact that this was hoisted as a true next-gen AAA experience during all this time (and NOBODY at Sony realized how truly awful this was) is concerning, and a bad, bad sign for this new generation of games. Also, just goes to show that Sony doesn't actually have a single clue about what a videogame actually is.

    Avoid. Avoid. And if somebody gives it a 10/10, avoid them too. It's either an attempt to combat buyer's remorse or an employee.    … Expand

    Made an account just to review Godfall, so let's do this.

    First up lets shut some things down. I've played Warframe, Diablo 3, Both Divisions, bit of both Destinies just to name 6 looters. I like looters i like games that give me gear and let me make builds. Saying all that because people seem to think you can't dislike this game if you like looters. Well let me tell you i don't like    Made an account just to review Godfall, so let's do this.

I like looters i like games that give me gear and let me make builds. Saying all that because people seem to think you can't dislike this game if you like looters. Well let me tell you i don't like Godfall and i love looters. Is it a bad game, no but nor is it a good game.

    When i think of a melee based looter i expect more than 2 combos and 2 moves per weapon. I expect more than stagger systems, parry/blocks, evades & finishers. Why because that's the bare minimum a melee game should have. And for a game devs claim was inspired by God of War i don't get why combat is so stiff.

    You'll be mid attack as an enemy charges you from off screen. And unlike GoW which let you animation cancel into blocks or parries. In Godfall you just get hit & "knocked down, because everything knocks you down". If you want to parry, use a special move, heal or anything you have to wait for the animation to finish. Which only adds to the chunkiness. This games design often kills the flow of what's suppose to be an aggressive melee based combat game.

    Not to mention the bugs oh so many, many bugs. From getting stuck on the environment. Or enemies spawning inside of pillars. Or the hud disappearing, attack buttons not working & health pick ups not restoring health, just to name a few. For me everything about this game is paint by numbers boring game design.

    Anybody that says you have to get to endgame to judge Godfall, just no. Let me ask this. Do you finish movies, books or TV shows you don't like? Probably not. So if you don't like Godfall guess what that's fine. Because you don't need to be at endgame to make up your mind. But not only am i at endgame i'm leveling a second character. Why because you don't even get separate skill tress or loadouts. All 12 valorplates share the same skill tree and there are no loadouts.

    And speaking of endgame. Its exactly the same as the main game, no really. You fight the same bosses with new modifiers, over & over & over & over. Or you climb a tower and kill waves of enemies over & over & over. With a wider selection this would have been fine. But its literally the same bosses & mini bosses from the story mode.

    Oh yes in closing. Just because this is a looter doesn't mean we should settle for the quarter baked story that Godfall has on offer. As long as we expect a trash story they'll keep making trash stories. My suggestion: Wait for a major patch to fix the bugs. After that wait for a deep, deep, deep price cut. Because Godfall is not worth 70-60 or even 40 bucks.    … Expand

    Really, really shallow game. If you aren't into maxing out the amount of damage you can do, then there is pretty much nothing here for you. The graphics, while they look nice in trailers and screenshots, are actually quite garish in game. The art direction is one note, with overwhelming bloom everywhere you look, pretty much one environment type, and goofy looking enemies.

The art direction is one note, with overwhelming bloom everywhere you look, pretty much one environment type, and goofy looking enemies.

    There is really no story to speak of, just a pretext to have you fight stuff. No characters to care about, no depth at all in the writing.

    The control system feels clunky to me. In all the trailers they show you switching between weapons mid-attack, dancing around the map, etc. Well the weapon switching is a gimmick. There are a couple skills you can level up that allow you to do this, but it feels pointless, and any type of free flow or creativity in your fighting style is not encouraged. It's more like a fighting game, and not like Dark Souls: Learn the moves, or button mash. Either way you'll be fine.

    The camera is a chore to deal with, as even when you're locked on to an enemy the camera doesn't focus on them, so you have to control the camera with one stick while controlling the combat as well. Why not focus the camera on an enemy?

    I'm going to jump back in and play it a bit more, because I really like ARPGs, (though I mostly prefer top-down ones, like Path of Exile), but I'm guessing I'll walk away in about an hour like I did the first time I played it (no, I haven't finished the game). I got this game for free when I upgraded graphics card, and even still I'm pretty disappointed with it. Amd also gave me a World of Warcraft expansion. WTF? I don't even have the base game, and how is WoW supposed to show off a powerful new graphics card??!! Anyway that's beside the point.

    At this point Gearbox is zero for two in 2020. Hopefully they can get their act together. Not everything has to be a looter-shooter/looter-fighter. That's basically what this is. The ONLY thing to discover in this game is items and skills. Hire some writers, Gearbox. Video games are a mature platform now, so do try to catch up.

    Now they've released a 25 GIGABYTE patch (about the same size as the initial download) which fixes very few things according to the patch notes and seems to make it run way worse on my PC. Good job.    … Expand

    The game visuals are horrendous - the style can only be described as Donald Trump's wet dream. Everything is golden, everywhere, everything is shiny as hell and there are more particles effects than racists at a Trump rally.
    After all this I thought at least the battle would be good - wrong! It is godawfall! There is no balance, there is no input queuing, some foe animations are completely unblockable due to the fact that there are no queues as to when they will attack - they just do. Boss fights are just a frustrating mess due to the tight camera angle(can't see the whole battlefield and all enemies) and the moves they employ - You can only fight with melee weapons, yet they can fly, spam fire and set the ground on fire - you can only run during this whole time and you can maybe hit them twice when they tough the ground. Who decided this was okay? Are these guys high?
    The loot is pretty meh - It has stats that makes sense but for the most part you won't get anything good.
    The level design is atrocious. All levels look the same, there is no map and it is just a link with tight corridors that lead to arenas and that's it.

    The suits, ah, the suits. Don't bother unlocking them either - they only look different - they play exactly the same. No deviation whatsoever, except for the special attack and even that is the same for like half of them. Terrible!

    Graphics are somewhat annoying, too much particle effects with a lot of bloom, nothing is clear. You basically just pick up shiny stuff hoping that the next time you open your inventory there will be some good stuff. Didn't really like the art direction. Textures sometimes look really low res, even on the main character. btw. changing the emission on the player character texture when talking was amateur move.

    Let's not talk about the story, it's cheap as hell, not interesting at all - The game feels like a mobile game on steroids.

    Also there's some nasty bugs - You can die while browsing your character/equipment menu from dots effects. Targeting UI is sometimes glued to a random spot on the screen killing the immersion.

    I'm trying really hard to find something nice to say about this game, but it's been such a disappointment. If you really like just pointlessly slash your way through a horde of meaningless creatures without a real possibility of failing, then go ahead, you'll be more than satisfied.    … Expand

    While there is *much* room for improvement concerning the half-baked story and mechanics, it does have enough to scratch the looter/shooter itch.

If you want a similar experience where you can , play Wraframe instead. If you are after (what the dev calls it) the "looter-slasher" experience, go play Nioh/wait for Nioh 2.… Expand

    I am usually pretty content with most 'hack and slash' or 'loot-intensive' games but Godfall, while satisfying both categories, is a disgrace.

The controls are horrendous and transform play in pure torture. The minimal amount of underlying story, voice acting and cinematics makes this title feel like a high school project. The gameplay is highly repetitive and the required game mechanics moves are far from being clear or easy to follow with either keyboard or controller. For a game that spent so much time in development, the amount of glitches is quite impressive though. Within 40 minute of gameplay I've got trapped, unable to move or jump in any direction, twice: once next to a tree and the second time next to a chest; highly frustrating. The entire game feels like a low effort Android-based indie from more than 10 years ago. The game lacks spark, it has no originality and it is very rough around the edges.
    I received my copy of the game as a complimentary gift for an RTX 5700 XT. Well, AMD should have shopped around a little more, this game is an abomination. Even the 'epic' graphic settings, 'AMD optimized' by the latest graphic card drivers are quite subpar for 2020.
    Never look a gift horse in the mouth. As it may be, this is a fair warning for anybody keen on dropping $60 on this title: you have been warned, spend your money on something better!    … Expand

    2. The bad controls with keyboard and mouse is so bad. They require you to press weird buttons like Q+C or E+C at the same time, mid-battle while you're controlling your character with WASD. And I am using a keyboard and mouse for ALL my games. I'm at that point I think a controller is kinda dumb when NOT playing a platformer.
    3. Game launches in 720p "Fullscreen windowed", when my desktop is running 4k, how is that possible? I don't know! I tried setting it to Fullscreen and 4k with HDR, which looks amazing in comparison. But..
    4. Game doesn't let you alt-tab out. This is very annoying and..
    5. I was unable to set the setting back to windowed or fullscreen windowed. It just wouldn't go away from fullscreen once fullscreen is set. This is clearly a bug, but an annoying one on top of all these points.
    6. You don't have full controll over your character. This game falls into the "For Honor" problem, where you're committed to a swing, you can't block or dodge, and a lot of games does this mistake imo. Many people compare this game to Warframe and Dark Souls. In Dark Souls, you can roll whenever you want! You have full control! In Warframe, you have JUMPs, wall running, wall latching of epic proporsions. This game doesn't even have a jump. You use C to "jump" whenever it's needed. and C to use chests. Why isn't E the default one for using objects? Yes, you can rebind keys, but the skillscreen doesn't reflect your new keybindings either, and it's still kinda awkward to press Q+E instead of Q+C, but it's a tad better.
    7. Hearing about the endgame, not being for the casual made me sad. That you have to really "test" your build, and that the endgame would be more rogue-like in the sense that you have to do content over and over if you die at the boss in each Dreamstone. Making endgame just for the 5% hardcore players is a terrible idea imo, as they will loose playerbase really fast, if they can't have players of all types hooked at endgame.
    8. No matchmaking.
    9. No maps or mounts.
    10. No live service! Most looks at this as a good thing. But honestly, it's not. They release a game with bad decisions or missing features that would be a requirement in 2020. And no live service, means no content being added, no features being added. Only expansion packs(in forms of DLC) could still bring more content and features. But then if that happens too often, then what's to say this game isn't a live service game? If it get's DLCs often, it has multiplayer, it's online-required? MTX is the only thing missing, but that's not defining a live service game imo. It's more of a dedication to keep adding things to a broken game, to make it better. Which this isn't having. (And Outriders looks to be heading the same direction!)

    Only good things with this game right now is its fluid combat(except for those pesky strange combos) multiplayer(but why not 4 players?), and good looking with pretty limited open world.    … Expand

    Visuals are nice. Combat is unique and exciting. If you like looters, get it on sale.
    The overall experience of the gameplay was far from what was shown in the trailer. There are only two npc's you can interact with, limited script, paper thin storyline. Easily beatable in a matter of hours.

    My complain would be to the fact that there are only 5 Weapons, all of them really fun, but I don't like that all of them have the same main combo (Light, Light, Light, Heavy). This might be done so that everybody would familiarise more easy with each weapon, but I would've liked more distinction between weapons in combos.

    There also bugs and glitches but I haven't encountered anything game breaking. Sometimes the UI would get his for no apparent reason and sometimes I could not Light attack anymore. But these didn't require me to restart the game, they got fixed on their own. Also it's a shame that it doesn't have matchmake (I doesn't effect me much because I already have my friends to play with) but sometimes the party would get broken after a cutscene/dialogue, which was annoying.

    The point of the story is to drive you to get in combat and get loot (the typical vanilla Destiny 1 story) but it does have lore if you are interested, in the form of collectables (Dark souls style). I didn't have any expectations for the story, nor should you if you want to enjoy the game for what it is.

    After reaching the endgame and if the developer address these issues/bugs then I will change my review score. Currently I am really excited to play more and more of this game.    … Expand

    Godfall is like if you take phantasy star online sort of levels, make them prettier, throw in warframes but make them knights instead of Ninjas in a sci-fi like setting with a fast-pace but slightly jank combat system. I found combat is satisfyingly and fun. light attacks build up extra damage on enemies unleashing it with a follow up heavy attack.
    There are flashy move power moves and it's always fun to throw your shield and what it clunk against the side of an opponent's head knocking them down and setting them up for a finisher.

    The games problems however come from a paper thin story, only having three zones currently to explore, and samey objectives. While I found the combat fun it did have some issues with the camera movements, making it so you have to rely a decent bit on the lock on at times. I also haven't made it to end game just yet so I can't speak on it but I am certainly willing to believe the other reviews mentioning how grindy and repetitive it can be from what i've played before.

    Overall most people will find this game simply average and not worth the current price and I certainly can't fault them for that. I just happen to fit into the target audience they were going for.

If I paid for this game I'd be more pissed than a PS4 or XBOne gamer playing Cyberpunk2077 right now.… Expand

    Godfall is an 8 and a half hour long action rpg looter slasher game.
    You’ve been betrayed by your brother whos corrupt with power, youre thrown off of this tower and its time for you to ascend and take him down.. instantly you feel like a god, the combat here is so fluent and fun and it only gets better the deeper you get into the game, learning new skills and finding new loot, this is the hook of the game and I love it, youll be going through these 3 different worlds, taking down enmeies to level up, occasionally they’ll drop ear and there will be chest to find full of gear, you then take the weapons and gear you like, slvage the rest, and use the scraps to enchant weapons you like all the way up to legendary, and I love it.. I love running through these dungeons, taking down the main target, and just changing up my gear…. Certain items you find in the world you can use to actually unlock new armours that have their own special fury attack.. I loved trying new characters and armours out.. though I would’ve loved to be able to copy my augments like I am with my weapon loadout hwne I want to try somebody new.. but these different armorus encourage you to build up and save different weapons, as you might be in a st that specializes in fire type weapons that cause burn damage, but theres and armour set that gives boosts for poison, or chilling damage.. I just love the idea of creating different legendary loadous for each of th armour sets… so no matter what, loot is worth searching for much like a borderlands game, even if your satisfied with what you have… these unwanted items just make you more and more powerful… so what are the bad things in godfall?
    Simply the destiny aspect, Godfall wants oyu to and even forces you to go back and replay missions to progress its story, it wants you going back and exploring the same 3 worlds over and ver again, and while the game is beautiful, the worlds aren’t really fun to explore…
    Traverse throough and kill everything in your way? Absolutely… seek out adventure on your own? Not so much.. its an eye roll when its time to grab these items from earth, water, and air relm before you can take on an areas boss, I would’ve much rather had a straightforward rpg game here and went back to explore by choice…
    Other than that Godfall is an absolute blast, this game is great and the rest of the world are a bunch of haters…
    Godfall is addictive and fun.. and while the world is lacking in any want to explore beyond credit roll, you can.. but im personally happy with an 8-10 hour long god building session…

    Pretty but hollow. Poor melee mechanics, even worse boss design. Bosses are designed for co-op and don't scale for solo. Bosses spam aoe's so you can't even melee them, they spawn minions frequently, and they spam all kinds of nonsense attacks with little window of opportunity to counter, making each boss fight long and tedious - especially the further you get into endgame.

    Game isn't a button masher, you need to time your attacks, which would be fine if the controls weren't unresponsive half the time, and even more fine if you didn't at times have to fight multiple enemies at once making blocking/parrying/dodging/attacking utterly impossible with timed button presses that can't be animation canceled or interrupted in any way.
    This is really a bad game with really bad game design. Story is non-existent. There's plenty of lore but who cares when everything surrounding it is just plain awful?
    Map design is also bad. Yes, it looks very VERY nice, but the layouts are just plain trash. You find yourself trying to complete objectives and ending up in dead ends constantly with no idea where to go.
    Honestly, I wouldn't even recommend it for free simply because it is way too frustrating and annoying to be worth your time, paid or free - let alone paid at AAA price levels. What a joke!

    + Boss battles are challenging and fun
    + interesting skill tree, abilities, build diversity/flexibility

    The cons:

    - Story is absolutely paper thin and cringe
    - There are no real levels, just big circular area's where you just look for items, chests and ultimately head for the objective (be it a boss, fetch or getting items). Was bored with this style of gameworld after the initial area so now i would just scan the area a little and head for the objective, this is the biggest flaw of the game in my opinion. There just isn't anything BUT the combat with very dull item collecting.
    - Ofcourse then the level design is an obvious flaw
    - No jump (thus no jump abilities) God of war is plagued by this as well. Look how much you can do with air combat and gameplay in for example Nier automata

    There's really nothing this game does well. I think the people that made this game are really bad at making games.

    There's an issue with shadows causing huge FPS drops in certain areas. Have to set them to medium or low to fix it.

    I do not like games that confuse "really hard" with "fun", but this one seems to go in the opposite direction. It's way too easy and there are too few enemies.
    But now after making it to the 2nd big boss fight the difficulty is ramped up tremendously to where it's one of those bosses that you dodge their attacks for 20 seconds, hit them once or twice, then repeat that sequence a dozen times. Really dumb. Really boring. Really annoying. And the next bosses only get worse - hit them with your special attacks, run around for 40 seconds while dodging their attacks and waiting for your special attacks to recharge, repeat 30 times.

    Much of the combat seems very unresponsive and thus frustrating. Seems like there are some good ideas that could/should be greatly improved on, and other things that should be removed. Much of the combat can be really annoying.

    It's designed so that you're supposed to break things to gather money, but there's a huge delay between the time you break the item and when you can collect the reward, so I just stopped breaking stuff altogether and completely ignored any upgrades & resources.

    There are no check points or saves. You have to complete the entire mission or you lose all progress. Then they have these "explore" missions, and the only option is still to "abandon" and it warns you you'll lose all progress. Have to look it up online to find out that for these specific missions, once you complete a certain task you can "abandon" and not lose progress.

    The buttons you're supposed to press to do combos aren't even readable, so I have to look them up online.

    I get a new ability (siphon) and it seems like it's not even working. Had to look up a video of how to use it, and even then it doesn't seem to be working...

    Uninstalled the game once I got to "grieves sunsteel". Garbage game. There are notches on the bosses health bar where if you damage him past the notch and die you revive and he goes only back to that notch instead of full health. Yet it didn't work. I got him past the notch and he was at full health when I was revived. Just way too many frustrating things like that - including the way sprinting works, and the design/uselessness of many of the abilities. And the game ends before you even get to max out and use all the abilities.    … Expand
