    Mediocre and repetitive gameplay, uninspired plot, tired face syndrome and stiff character personalities. Overall, as average as games get.

    Solid game.

    I just hope the game improves what the first one did good. It just needed to be more darker. the big problem i had with the game were the moral choices. there is only good and bad. you good choices will have NO consequences. (that is really unrealistic) good music AMAZING Heavy armor!! good looking swords and guns. I just wish that they would make Greedfall 2    Solid game.

    This game is alright. It has a good story, characters, good voice acting and dialogue.

    Even though the world building is good the game follows a narrow linear path, it doesn't feel truly open world which is quite barren and empty, a lot of the areas look the same boring, nothing feels exciting or worth trying to explore as it's just empty and you aren't faced with making any hard drastic choices. You get minor choices such as to spare someone or kill them.
    The game doesn't have much depth.

    It has quite a lot of errors in dialogue of mixing up him and her, she and he even in the same sentence.
    e.g. I was talking to a male NPC as part of a quest and the dialogue to select says: ask her about what he has done since crossing.

    Combat is nothing special, rather boring just spam left mouse button a couple of times, dodge and repeat till dead.
    In combat companions repeatedly say the same phrases continuously way too much, which is annoying and make the characters seem more like machines and less like real people. Just saying a phrase once in battle would be more realistic or to have much more variety in what they say.

    This game is no where near a fantastic game, it doesn't do anything amazing or epic, only does most things sufficiently but not excellently.

    I'd rate it 6/10 ok. Needs a lot of improvement to be a good game. I don't hate the game nor do I love it.
    I recommend only on sale and if you value story over polish and game play as despite the games short comings I enjoyed following the story and doing most quests.    … Expand

    I really wanted to like Greedfall, it looked different to the typical fantasy RPGs. The colonial era setting isn't common, and playing as a colonising force seemed like an interesting take on the genre. In actuality, the game is unappealing and a chore to play. The controls are floaty and the combat is simple and unengaging. It clearly is trying to follow in the footsteps of FromSoft games, and it fails in this regard.
    Another missed step is how Greedfall attempts to mimic BioWare RPGs like Dragon Age or Mass Effect. The critical mistake is making the protagonist too fully voiced and giving no real choice. Each dialogue I encountered in the first few hours of the game played out like a cutscene, with usually a small inconsequential choice of what question to ask the NPC. Instead of just asking one thing, my character would launch into entire dialogues. It felt less like a conversation I had any control over, and more like I was in a choose your own adventure novel. I think if the developers had just taken away the choices and made the character how they wanted, it would have turned out better.

    The visuals are a letdown, because the design of the world looks good, but the game is so poorly optimised that even with a decently powerful computer, the game shudders and floats even on medium settings. The character designs are cool as well, but terrible facial animation makes cutscenes look awful, like something from the PS3 or XBOX360 at some points.

    All in all, I think this game has potential. Buy it on a big sale, try it, and if it doesn't pull you in quickly, return it. If the setting really grabs you, I hope you enjoy it. As one of the few people who enjoys Too Human, I know how much a setting and art direction can make someone love a game other people hate.    … Expand

    As folks at Spiders studio continue to struggle towards Sisyphean goal of filling the void Bioware’s unfortunate demise left, they fall again just a little short of notable with their Greedfall.

    A few things make plot-driven Bioware-style RPG stand out: style and setting, focused gameplay, and, unsurprisingly, the plot. Let's get the easy one out of the way: the new world of Teer Fradee island is undoubtedly the exciting and stylish highlight of the game. Outdated graphics and stiff animations are a given for an AA studio, of course, but it’s the designs that count, and Greedfall has some memorable ones. Spiders deserve credit for always trying to come up with something original for their settings, no matter the results. The colonial aesthetic, consistent faction designs and well-realised geography of the island all do a great job of immersing you into the world. The music is nothing special or memorable, but it somehow fits the mood incredibly well. Some environments, especially indoors, are barren and downright repeated, but cutting these corners is understandable.

    Now, onto the hard part. The gameplay is a wash. Combat is just adequate, in animations at least (and at last, Spiders!), but there's no system worth exploring, mastering or even mentioning. Exploration, crafting, progression system - all the same: sufficient, shallow, nothing you haven't seen before. It's wrong to decry the game for doing just decently, but Spiders need to step up their game if they want to get noticed, need to add some spice because this gameplay is the equivalent of oatmeal porridge at this point.

    Now to the spicy part, then. The colonialism. The game is weird about it. It bashes you over the head with "colonialism bad" and "go green", which is the right message, but it struggles to get nuanced, apart from showing that there are indeed good and bad people on both sides. It's not terribly boring or black-and-white, and as far as themes go this one is not bad at all, but you never feel invested or as you've been told something meaningful. Also, the whole story very much revolves around the magical negro (native in this case) shtick, once again. Good characters might've helped, but barring the player character, De Sardet, who's surprisingly interesting to roleplay, and Siora, your companion and Vergil-type figure on your journey through the native lands, the game lacks any memorable faces.

    Greedfall barely manages to make its mediocre gameplay and heavy-handed story not to feel like a slog, so if you're into exploring a beautifully realised native island while feeling smug for doing it the right, environmentalist way and not like your colonialist peers, approach this game leniently.    … Expand

    I played Greedfall almost for 60 hours. But it feels like I spend my 40 hours for running, 15 hours for conversations and rest 5 hours for the combat. I would like to talk about 3 most annoying thing about this game. And I think developers made the first two annoying part to make the game longer but instead they make it boring.

    First one is repetitive side quests. If you ready to go    I played Greedfall almost for 60 hours. But it feels like I spend my 40 hours for running, 15 hours for conversations and rest 5 hours for the combat. I would like to talk about 3 most annoying thing about this game. And I think developers made the first two annoying part to make the game longer but instead they make it boring.

    First one is repetitive side quests. If you ready to go same places over and over and over and over again this game is for you. Did you get bored while reading it. Good, because that’s how side quests are. Let me give you an example. In a quest you need to follow a soldier too see where he is going and see that he visits a secret chest. After few more steps you follow a sailor from port to the same secret chest location. Then you turn back to port to inform his captain. The captain wants to see it with her own eyes so you took her to location. Then after a quick fight the captain you inform gives her thanks to you and return to the port. After you loot the corpse of the sailor guess what. You need to go back to port to give the goddamn loot to captain who was with you few minutes ago. Almost all side quests are the same. You visit same barracks, same tavern and governor buildings thousands of times. And every tavern, barracks and governor buildings are copy paste of each other.

    As for the second annoying part of this game. There is invisible walls all around. There is no minimap in this game instead they put same indicator from skyrim on top and the big map itself looks too messy that you can easily go to wrong road. A little example, there is two roads in front of you and you go to the left one by mistake. Then you notice you need to go to right one after some time. There is only trees on your way to right road and you think you can pass it because you can see the road. No sir you can't because there is invisible walls there and you need to go walk back hundreds of meters to enter the right road.

    As for the third one, it feels like this game based on melee classes. There are too many weapons and armor around for melee classes while there is none for mage. But melee classes lack dps while mage is too OP. Combat itself is nothing special. Bosses are really simple. Even sometimes they can't hit you because they miss you even when you're standing still.

    For the general I don’t mention ugly character detail. Same enemies (there is only bats, hounds and bandits beside the bosses in whole game). Bad animations. Repetitive combat. Hollow cities and the list goes on.

    The only thing keeps me playing this game was its interesting story. But in general, is it a bad game? No but its not good either.

    So if you are thirsty for an RPG and missing the old school Dragon Age style this game is for you. But if you don’t have the patience to run and visit the same places over and over again don’t even try it.    … Expand

    The Quests is average, it's nothing special, and what you should expect from a game like this.
    The Difficulty slightly depending on how you play your class and the weapons of that class, other then that the difficulty isn't all that hard, the bosses tho might create a challenge.
    No Co-Op or Multiplayer mode in this game.]

    {Narrative: Dialogue, Cutscenes}
    7/10 – Good.

    {Visuals: Graphics, Motion Capture/Voice-Sync}
    7/10 – Good.
    [The Graphics is OK during cutscenes and such, but it's more or less fantastic during gameplay. In my experience, it's usually the other way around.

    {Replayability: Replayability (Alternate Endings, Secrets, Multiplayer, etc)}
    10/10 - Good.
    [This game got multiple classes, so in that aspect, you might want to play this game 3 times, 1 time for each class. But the story seems to be somewhat pre-set, so i don't think there will be any major difference between the times you play through this game.]

    "6/10 – Average.
    These recommendations come with a boatload of “ifs.
    It's only held back by a few issues (or stiff competition).
    Not always the best choice, but it can get the job done.
    There’s a good game in here somewhere, but you’ll have to know where to look, and perhaps turn a blind eye to some big drawbacks.”

    I can not say that the game containse any noteable characters, but they all unique, have own story and fight style.
    The weak spots are fighting and difficulty levels. I started the game on 'normal', but after 10 level i found that game pretty easy, and increased difficulty to max. But can't say that there are big changes. Yes, enemies became tougher but nothing was changed in battles.
    And waht is wrong with battles? Fighting in this game easy, stupid, linear, 2-button-combat. No matter what class you chose, anyway you become to overpowered pretty fast.
    For sure this is general problem of rpg genre, gameplay intersting when your character is weak, and short of resourses. You glad to use stelth, blocking, kaiting enemies etc. But whan you have pockets full of potions, ammo and stuff, you starts to ignore everything.

I think this one is worth 7/10, but I'm subtracting a point owing to the following somewhat janky features:

    - Really dated facial animations (game should maybe have been called "Teethfall" instead?), though you tend to get used to them after a while.
    - The game has a day/night cycle but NPCs just go about their routines 24 hours a day. Merchants will still bark at you to come and check out their wares when you run past their stalls in the dead of night, some townsfolk just stand around staring blankly and all the NPCs who walk around occasionally get stuck on obstacles which they continue walking against until you bump against them.
    - No children to be seen anywhere, even in native villages, which ruins immersion somewhat.
    - Copy/pasted interiors for all the major buildings, like the governors' mansions and the native chieftain huts. If this sort of thing really irritated you in Dragon Age 2, then I would recommend you avoid this game.
    - Companions who repeat the same lines endlessly in combat.
    - Ridiculous difficulty spikes for some boss battles.
    - Lots of poorly designed, tedious fetch quests (eg the infamous Logging Camp one) which have you running back and forth repeatedly.

    In summary, this is worth picking up on sale if you enjoy Bioware type RPGs, but don't expect the experience to be as polished. I think Spiders is a developer that comes up with some great ideas for their games, but tends to fall short in the quality department as they simply don't have the resources to compete with the bigger studios. Hopefully that may change in the future....    … Expand

Con los compañeros pasa un poco lo mismo, aportan a la jugabilidad y a la trama, pero no puedes personalizarlos demasiado y a menudo aportan menos en combate de lo esperado. Y el combate es entretenido, sin duda, pero sigue un modelo visto muchas veces y en ocasiones se siente algo ortopédico. El sigilo falla bastante a la hora de proporcionar diversión, pero en cambio el sistema de diálogos y decisiones hacen que realmente se sienta el impacto de lo que decidimos. Y sin duda la ambientación estética está muy guay, dado que pocos son los juegos que nos permiten explorar la estética del siglo XVI con elementos mágicos y misticismo.

    A nivel gráfico el juego cumple, sin demasiados alardes, pero cumple bien. Quizás la mayor pega sea en los escenarios que, pese a estar bien hechos, acaban resultando demasiado similares. El sonido por su parte cumple sin ningun tipo de problema pero sin nada destacado tampoco. Y en cuanto a bugs y eso, al menos en mi experiencia, tiene algunos pero no son demasiado graves, si no contamos con que podría haberse optimizado para que funcionase de modo más fluido.

    El resultado de todo ello es un juego que podría haber dado más de si, que promete mucho pero acaba por no dar todo lo que podría haber dado de si, quedando como una preciosa promesa que se queda corta. Un 7.

    Saying properly, i did not really like this game.

    It has disgusting, i repeat, DISGUSTING combat system. It is build on some kind of combination of souls-like elements and CRPG elements. But this elements just do not properly work together. You see, in the game you can take companions with you, but they just simply useless and serve as a troopers who tank all the damage. On every    Saying properly, i did not really like this game.

You see, in the game you can take companions with you, but they just simply useless and serve as a troopers who tank all the damage. On every bossfights they usually die after 2-3 minutes of fight, and ye, you can't control them, they are free to do what they want. This totally brakes CRPG combat system of the game. And the souls-like system i just hate.

    About the story. Well, it has interesting moments, but i did not really like them.

    Graphics are good, open world is ok, you can find some interesting quest and occasions. But as i say, the combat system just totally ruins immersion in this game.

    Even though i am fan of CRPGs, i just really hated it, but objectively it is ok, so i think 6/10 mark is suitable for it. And yes, i do not care that studio is small and does not have money. Divinity: Original Sin 2 also had a small budget, but yet it is a perfect game, which will become the classic of the genre. I think developers should just decline their combat system and try the classic CRPG one.    … Expand

    An RPG with an excellent atmosphere and a decent roll playing experience. The beginning is superb, with a decrepit atmosphere and a decaying world, then quickly runs out of steam. Give it a try. It is buggy and it is a little on the lower budget side of things, but it might be some people's niche. Overall, its not bad, but not great either.

    The concept, gameplay and even story is more than what I expected. This is definitely one of the most underrated games of 2019.

This is definitely one of the most underrated games of 2019. I played on normal as a mage like character and enjoy the character and team building methods. Definitely more contact then most triple A games, but it’s far from perfect. This game is padded out and you’ll spend most of your time running around or doing stretched out side mentions. The what most mentions are setup, you have to run for along distance somewhere and than back to where you came from, but the worst part is you might have to do this several times in 1 mission. The side content can be enjoyable but it to a point where there are too many side story because they seem like all the rest. Not enough enemy variety at all and I hate the in between when traveling. Also when your done with a mission instead of fast traveling you to the nearest fast travel they make you run to it and it could be far. The way the maps are set up they want you to spend a lot of time running to make the game longer. I honestly spent about 40 hours when the game should have been 15-25 hours long, but the padded out story, running and bad map design added 10-15 hours to it and made me dread the last 10-15 hours of playing. The fighting was fun, but if you wanting to play for the story......I don’t think 40 hours is quite worth it unless you willing to indoor Death-stranding running on steroids.… Expand

    I enjoyed the game its not bad at all but it has too much backtracking and some quests are just not worth it. Still the combat is fun and the final boss was very souls like but was done well. But copypasted enemies and bosses and some are not so interesting. Everything felt a little bit shallow I didnt get into it that much.

    GreedFall boasts a unique, semi-open world in which to immerse yourself, but is held back by the limitations of its game engine.

    The Spiders studio didn´t take players‘ comments on the previous titles seriously, and they repeat the same mistakes. GreedFall offers an interesting world, full of amazing characters and ideas, but lacks in other aspects. [Issue#298]

    Greedfall is a tough game to judge. It's neither bad nor great. It comes staggeringly close to greatness in a number of areas, but it just lacks the polish or ambition to go further. If you're looking for a nostalgic trip back to the mid-2000s style of WRPGs, then you'll find a lot to like in Greedfall. It's worth a shot if you're a fan of that style of games. In a year that gave us titles like Disco Elysium, it's difficult to be particularly impressed by something that is merely standard.
