    Free drop on Epic Store. Well it looks very pretty with lots of nice effects. Also comes across as weeb stuff with furry type characters. That stuff is not really my thing and doesn't do it for me. Combat was flashy like a big budget Hollywood effects movies, ooh. Oh well back to God of War on the PS4 then.

    The game is visually stunning, but that's pretty much it. Also, no Portuguese subtitles? What a shame.

    There's nothing to stay in the game for really. Combat is quite appealing but gets repetitive very quickly, could be better if there was any real challenge, game is simply too easy - death means nothing, even on hard mode it's HARD to die 3 times.

    Controls at first seem to be cool but the further you're in the game the more clunkiness you stumble upon. Targeting system is so bad that i think it's actually broken and was never repaired.

    Camera is way too close to the player - I assume it was a design choice due to focusing only on your target, but come on it's annoying as hell

    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.

    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.
    If you came for a story about gods and their creations.. you'll find that in the 'lore' tab.

    The combat system is very clunchy, most of the time even if I have 2 yellow bars full and try to press E+LMB or E+RMB the technique skills doesn't trigger at all.
    The parry system again it is very clunchy, I was expecting for a parry which works like the one from God of War or the new ACs.
    A few bugs here and there, but the most annoying I find the healing orbs bug when even if you pick a healing orb it doesn't heal you at all and it happens like a lot.
    There are only 3 maps where you do all the missions and most of the time you must the same mission to unlock a new one. Recycled content 99%. Even the dreamstone missions are recycled missions. It does have nice armour suits.
    I am used to play games based on looting like The Division games, Destiny 2, Black Desert, Bloodborne, Blade and Soul etc...but this game I put it near Anthem...
    It doesn't worth 60euros for pc version or 70 for ps5 version at all. It looks like the devs tried to combine ideas from a few games but they failed big time...

Half the time you get stuck on the treasure chests (which many are already reporting they have the same issue), which is a very frustrating bug but can be broken out of. Other times the challenges don't even appear correctly and halts the progress altogether. But this is not even the worst case, which is when going into a new map/world, and some of the areas are not accessible because of story progression, but the bonus missions require you to go there, makes you wonder if the dev really spent enough time and effort testing their stuff out. You're screwed if you decide to do it and realized half way that it's locked, and just wasted 30 min up to an hour wandering around for no real progression. Not release ready and a waste of time.

    The basic game play is fun and world is pretty, but that's it. There is very little substance here, the endgame is a complete mess bordering on non-existent, and it will take months of programming for them to turn it into something worth the price tag.

    1. Action, action, action. I do like action, but it has to have a pause at some point, where you're sorting gear, selling or doing crafting. I feel this game has too much action, you're constantly on your toes because the difficulty of the game, and
    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.

Half of which does the same exact thing just with a different element. So far there is no real use to different elements. It's an average, cash grab game that was supposed to release the same time as cyberpunk. I do not recommend this game. Mediocre at best. 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 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.

    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.

    Combat mechanics are extremely clunky and repetitive. Every enemy attack staggers you, and you cannot cancel animations or input queue blocks to name a few, in a game that relies on long attack combos. Campaign story is hastily explained, empty and the most generic you could think of.

    In missions you run to the marker in linear maps and kill the enemy. This is pretty much everything

    3 points purely from art design and modelling. Armors, maps and moves look really nice. It is a shame that they are everything this game has to offer.

    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!

    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!
    I really wanted to like the game, but I can't. I feel cheated I spent $60 on this garbage.

    A visually stunning game, Godfall suffers from repetitive combat and a lackluster story that is forgettable after the first hour. In an industry with so many Dark Souls-style games, this is not one to spend time on.
