    People giving the game 5-6s and comparing it with the likes of Witcher 3 and DA inquisition fail to mention that Spiders is practically an indie studio, with like the 1/10 of the budget/manpower the above industry titans have.
    The fact that such comparisons are even drawn just shows what spectacular work Spiders managed to pull off!

    The fact that such comparisons are even drawn just shows what spectacular work Spiders managed to pull off!

    The game plays great, looks decent, and while the story often stagnates, it's content-rich enough to burn 60+ of your hours, if you wanna do every quest etc there is. Characters looks great and while lip sync issues do exist, it's nothing really gamebreaking. The combat even on extreme is manageable and the bosses actually provide a decent challenge while being pretty epic fights at the same time.
    While polishing issues are evident and assets are often reused(It's a low budget game after all) fans of Technomancer, Bound by flame and generally old school rpgs are definitely advised to give it a go.    … Expand

    The voice acting is fantastic in this game! The facial animations are a little flat for a 2019 game but the voice acting makes up for it. Some people have tried to say the facial animations in this game as as bad as Mass Effect: Andromeda but I strongly disagree with that statement. They're not that bad by any means and I say that as someone who's played both games.

They're not that bad by any means and I say that as someone who's played both games.

    The combat is lackluster if that's your thing. Personally I don't play games for the combat but rather for a good story, which I know is an uncommon stance to have. This game is mostly just running around and talking to people. There's a stealth element in this game but it's not really all that great. There are some choices in the game that do influence the game but it more so influences faction relations, which is fine by me as the factions are all really interesting and different. The most annoying part of the fighting is the fact that your companions have the same dialogue when they enter combat and Vasco's is super loud and annoying (and I say that even though he is my favorite companion).

    The companions are fantastic and they all have their own companion/loyalty quest lines that are amazing. There's also romance in this game if that's your thing and it's really well done. The factions are interesting and the story is phenomenal. This game's side quests are quality story-driven content if you ask me. There aren't really many fetch or kill quests in this game. The soundtrack is also wonderful as well as the art direction. And yes, the quest decisions that you make DO matter.

    The world isn't really too open. It's kind of linear in the way that Dragon Age Origins was. Personally I need that because I so easily lose focus in a game with TOO open of a world. So if you're like me, this game is for you. Your companions don't stand around approving and disapproving of every little thing you do throughout the game, which is nice. Their approval and disapproval is more based on what you say and do during their loyalty/companion missions.

    I've encountered a few graphical glitches and whatnot but there is a patch coming out soon that I imagine will fix a lot of things. There are a lot of grammatical errors in the subtitles but it's very easy to still figure out what is being said. There have been a few lines here and there that refer to my female character as male. Sometimes in dialogue the camera gets glitched out and you'll just see a wall or something. None of these glitches have really been game or immersion breaking. Small inconveniences at worst.

    It's unfair to completely compare this game to The Witcher, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, etc. since those are all AAA titles and this game was made with a much lower budget and a smaller team. This game was clearly made with a lot of love and you can feel it.

    My new favorite game from Spiders, even better than Of Orcs and Men.
    Greedfall is a proper RPG. You have choices when it comes to your approach.

Many situations can be resolved by diplomacy through the use of various skills like intuition, charisma, bribing or intimidation. You can ofc get what you want by force too. Or you can bypass certain requirements by finding clues or having a companion who can help you thx to his/her ties to certain factions.

    The character customization is complex enough, you can have various builds, replay value is definitely there. The gear is varied and looks amazing, can be upgraded by crafting as well, allowing even further customization. Combat is fun imo, its up to you how complex you make it, by investing into spells or abilities. There is also some element of strategy with the ability to pause similar to isometric RPGS.

    I was impressed by the visuals, the environments look great and like I said already, the gear is just beautiful to look at. For AA studio, the level of detail, texture and animations quality puts many AAA developers to shame. There is some clunkiness ofc, the lip syncing isnt great, I had 2 or three instances of characters in cutscenes not being where they should be, but I never got stuck anywhere nor did any of the quests bugged on me, which I think is insane, considering the states of games that come out of AAA studios.

    The biggest issue I have with the game is the difficulty balance. I played on extreme and I think the first 15 or so hours gave a fair challenge, you have to think about your approach and using potions and coating is advisable. But I spent a better part of the game going through everything with no problem and most of my consumables and abilites became obsolete. Also I did every quest in the game and while I enjoyed every minute of it, sometimes the amount of running back and forth had me wondering how convenient it would have been if the game used the option to instantly teleport to the next person of interest. The game does so in few instances and I think its a great aspect which should be implemented more often in the future.

    Overall, this is my goty so far and I CANT WAIT to see how Spiders studio grows and what is their next project going to be.    … Expand

    I'm going to write my review as a response to someone else's, covering mainly the story.

    "The factions hardly differ from each other." One faction, The Bridge Alliance, is amorally dedicated to the progression of science and knowledge. They have an uneasy relationship with the natives because they may or may not be involved in something I won't discuss because of spoilers, but there    I'm going to write my review as a response to someone else's, covering mainly the story.

    "The factions hardly differ from each other."

    One faction, The Bridge Alliance, is amorally dedicated to the progression of science and knowledge. They have an uneasy relationship with the natives because they may or may not be involved in something I won't discuss because of spoilers, but there are several strings that, if you pull of them, can cause events to progress differently later in the game, and some of the outcomes are mutually exclusive.

    One faction, Theleme, is a theocracy complete with an inquisition that's burning people at the stake. Besides being at war with The Bridge Alliance, it has it's own politics, it's own internal schisms, and how you navigate through them and deal with their representative leader on the Island will determine not only the church's relations with other factions on the Island, but potentially the future of the whole theocracy. I won't say much more because of spoilers.

    The Natives are made up of varied clans, some are at war with the colonizing factions, some plot against one another, some are friendly towards outsides and others are immediately hostile. Whether you can avoid conflict and how you deal with natives can have lasting impacts throughout the game.

    The Nauts are a secretive group that mostly keeps to themselves. You'll learn more about them as you play the game. A word of advice, always keep a few Naut's outfits to disguise your team, you'll need these more than any other disguises, and if you want to stay in good standing with them you'll often need to go undercover.

    About the only faction that seems to get along with everyone is the Congregation of Merchants, your faction, however, the Congregation of Merchants is completely reliant of the Coin Guard, and there is corruption within the Coin Guard that I also won't go into because of spoilers.

    The Congregation of Merchants also has it's own secrets and it's own hidden past which may influence your allegiances later in the game.

    "All the characters in the game are extremely one-dimensional."

    Characters frequently have secret agendas and hidden layers that won't be apparent right away. Sometimes this game will try to bias you for or against a character before you have a chance to learn what they're really up to, or give you a wiff of a false trail to lead you, in your head, to blame the wrong party for an action.

    "The game doesn't even have an interesting goal"

    You set out as a trained diplomat groomed for nobility on a mission to broker agreements between warring factions and, as a side project, seek out a possible cure for a terrible plague that's killing your mother. While whether or not that's interesting is subjective, I find it interesting.

    "there are hardly any real choices for the player to make."

    The game constantly gives you choices when dealing with factions and characters. Many people who cheat or take Diplomacy as a starting skill believe that the only choice for the best outcome is always the diplomatic choice. This is not the case, often using diplomacy is merely the path of least resistance, but doesn't yield the best outcomes.

    There are also decisions that have negative short term outcomes in terms of reputation damage and the like, but can lead to more interesting situations and more positive outcomes later, sometimes including a larger net gain in reputation than would have originally been possible.

    "Also the whole story is stretched out way too long for what little content there actually is to it."

    It's not because the story has branches and subquests that can branch back in and influence the progression of the main quests, but the backtracking is frustrating. Another Critique I have of the story is that there are moments where the game would seem to emphasize time constraints that don't actually exist. You can sleep and wait and travel around for literally years worth of in game days without missing what is implied to be a time sensitive quest.    … Expand

    The game has some character progression to allow you pick your playstyle. You also have choices on how to complete quests, albeit the outcomes are not game changing. The game is not attempting to be something new, they have tried to appeal to an already existing style that has gone quiet for a few years.

    The characters and enemies in the game are interesting although some do bear some resemblance to 1 or 2 other recently released games.

The combat is precise but I found the difference between easy to normal to be quite high. At a certain point (3/4 of the game), weapons and armor upgrades are useless. The skill tree is something of a frustration. It's too slow to get the skills. Exploration is fun but the fast traveling system is very limiting. They are fix points on the map, and not always practical. Some area have long spaces with nothing to do. i give it 82%. I really enjoy it because of the story.

From the get-go it's obvious that they had to cut many corners: character models are akin to those in Skyrim or The Witcher 2 (both from 2011), some interiors and NPCs are copypasted and voice acting can (at times, although not always) be meh. But what they did get right is world building, setting, characters, story and quests. The world (despite not being seamless and consisting of multiple medium-sized hubs) can be astonishingly beautiful (although for some reason the devs opted to fill it with ugly brown filter - look up a decent ReShade preset on Nexus to fix colors), its landscapes breathtaking. Companion characters and main NPCs are well-written and believeable. The story is unpredictable and quite interesting and so are the quests that never have player be a delivery boy. Despite the game having its limitations. I enjoyed every second of it and wholeheartedly recommend it.

    Pros
    • Interesting story
    • Unpredictable and well-written quests
    • Believeable characters with interesting backstories
    • Beautiful world (that need a ReShade to fix brown tint, but still)
    • Rich leveling system
    • Fun combat that (for me) never really got old.

    Cons
    • Poor character models
    • Low variety in the world's fauna (which is still believeable, I guess)
    • At times terrible voice acting (for the Natives faction - their accents are not believeable, but maybe it's just me)
    • Use of copypaste in interior design (unavoidable for such a small team, but still a flaw)

    Why I give it 8 and not less? Because I believe the dev team achieved exactly what they wanted to. This game is not The Witcher 3 killer. And it was never meant to be. But it's a solid RPG experience that I can't recommend enough.    … Expand

This little developer have really pulled out all the stops with this lovely little rpg made on a shoestring budget,

    I loved that you can play as male or female. I loved the little romances you could have with your companions. I liked greatly the styles, details and fabrics of the armours and weapons. I wasnt keen on the hairstyles but I understand the reason why they are like that (limited budget) I enjoyed greatly the story and being able to play it as I liked, side quests weren't completely locked into main quests and I was able to complete most side quests before advancing the main quest on my first play through, on my second play-through I advanced the main quest first and it felt like a very different experience. That was nice and well done.

    Im delighted that modders have been able to work on this game so thats another huge plus for me as that gives me another reason to keep going back to it which gives me so much more bang for my buck and enjoyment of course.

    I felt the voice acting was good, it took a while to get used to the natives strange accents, but I am now.

    I would have preferred to be able to fast travel from anywhere to camps or city locations as sometimes the running got a bit tedious. I also would like to see a wee mirror of transformation in the player house/camps so my lady could change her hair or eye colour. But I know that the budget put constraints on cosmetic extra's like that.

    The fighting was fine. I only used magic skills and I enjoyed that on easy. I didn't try on harder settings as I play for story and rpg elements. I enjoyed the crafting and upgrading abilities. Would have liked a few more talent points as I leveled but that wasn't a deal breaker.

    The environments were nice, linear but still with some exploring. Im not mad on too much exploration. It was a nice mix in this game. Spaces felt open but weren't too open for my comfort.

    Overall for this game I would give it an 8.5-9 out of 10. So thrilled there are people out there prepared to make games like this. Im thrilled to have this game in my library and will revisit it over and over again. For me this game was worth every penny I paid and I wish spiders staff and management the very best in their future endeavors.    … Expand

    1. Quest system: after 15+ hours I haven't had a single fetch quest. Most of them you can solve in multiple ways.

    2. Dialogue: well written and although in old timey style, it isn't pretentious and really fits the game. As a bonus, most voice work is great which is surprising for a smaller dev.

    3. Combat: its fluid and well executed, tactical pause is a must on hard+. Challenging but not maddening. (unless yoy try and do arena at level 5, bring some pots and antidotes is all I'm saying...)

    4. World building: factions are believable and they have their own motivations that make sense in game. Natives have many tribes with their own approach, as well. While they reuse assets, it's not as bad as DA2, imo and the game looks good.

    5. Stability: not a single crash or even major FPS loss (tho I understand this is down to individual machine probably and mine is a decent rig).

    CONS:

    1. While combat is fun, enemy variety is lacking (which I understand, but still).

    2. Facial animations are off (not hugely distracting).

    3. Customization of your character is pretty basic, less options than in most modern RPGs.

    4. Few bugs such as killed enemies stay up (stealth killed Naut guards in New Selene for instance). Not major but definitely something to iron out.

    TLDR a great, unique western RPG with a few quirks but very enjoyable. Highly recommended! Thanks Spiderman. Err... Spiders!    … Expand

    Two things the only a slight bump on this game thus far is facial animations/rigging of the faces and a couple problem spots in game with mass assets that lower performance a bit even on beefier machines but does not ruin the experience. Both are overlooked easily due to this being an Indy title and the fact of how good it is. If you want a good single player rpg game that draws you in like a good book.

There are some bugs but, are mostly funny to see. Hopefully the studio will do an update to fix some problems and maybe add some more content or make another Greedfall later down the road.… Expand

    This game is one of the hidden gems of recent years. The graphic style is gorgeous, quests have some interesting twist and turns, the combat feels fresh with the balance and armour mechanics.
    Overall the game has a Witcher 1 feeling of being good and potential to have great future installments.

    I bought the game for PC after waiting for it to be released, bought the only merchandise I could find - a Gildan t-shirt - off of Etsy to show support. Twitch didn't seem to capture much attention for a game so passionately made. Yet, Greedfall is one of those games that deserves a sequel as well as a permanent place in the heart of RPG/holiday nostalgia.

Twitch didn't seem to capture much attention for a game so passionately made. Yet, Greedfall is one of those games that deserves a sequel as well as a permanent place in the heart of RPG/holiday nostalgia. Skyrim, Broken Fang Cave, and running around as a lizard was fun; but, Greedfall was super meticulous with accessorizing. Athiests, Agnostics, Buddhists, Catholics, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Pagan's can enjoy this RPG. I think there is good representation of lgbtqia+ in Greedfall that doesn't take away from the mainstory but compliments the aestetics of the graphics. There were a few glitches, like a character's chin going through his collar and a character floating above a chair and table. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the decision making algorithm amd at times reloaded a saved section to see if a decision could change an outcome. I won't spoil the ending. I am of the belief that Greedfall could restore the characteristics of helpfulness and bravery in society.… Expand

    I am enjoying this game. For my first run through, I chose magic and it is so much fun. The graphics are superb, although the setting to begin is quite dark. I think Spiders has created a really good RPG here and with some tweaking it will be amongst my top games.

    Для начала нужно понимать что игра не ААА класса и не с большим бюджетом. В целом графика-норм, боёвка-сойдет, костомизация-норм, квесты довольно не плохие. Любителям рпг можно и на старте брать, остальным разве что по скидону, изначально хотел 8 поставить, но с учётом что в последнее время очень мало рпг выходит решил докинуть еще 1 балл.Для начала нужно понимать что игра не ААА класса и не с большим бюджетом.

    Wow! This game came out of nowhere. It reminds me of The WItcher 3 and that's a very good thing. Greedfall has amazing side quests, characters, voice acting, world, RPG elements and many more. Games like Fallout 4 & AC Odyssey which are AAA games don't even come close to the level of the side quest and writing. The combat is nothing too special but definitely fits in the game.

    Spiders is getting better with each game, and you can tell it's by a smaller developer but that also makes it full of heart and not feel like ubisoft game. Really enjoying it a lot, characters, story, choices are all super interesting.

There are some good strong aspects that make this game good and most important is the graphic, which is amazing. The storyline is not very complex, but the fact that you have the chance to reach a good or a bad ending, depending of your choices, it's a good thing. Even if I didn't had the best ending, I didn't have the worst one either and I am satisfied with that. The combat system and the level of customization of characters are, again, some good aspects of the game.The soundtrack is decent, but I would have wanted a more diversified soundtrack.
    There are also some negative aspects of the game, one of them being the poor level of optimization and the other being the fact that sometimes, the game it gets a little boring but this depends entirely of every person. This being said, I do not regret the time spent playing this game, but I wouldn't play it again either. I appreciate the work that has been put in this game, by the developers and I would probably play the next game of them too, if there is gonna be one.    … Expand

I played as a mage, there is not various spells but still nice to play and beat monsters. Game is totally depends on you, your choices are really important for story line.

    Taken on its own merits this is a game reminiscent of the story telling style of Dragon Age: Origins. I won't opine too much on that minus saying it's amazing and worth playing through on its own.

    The RPG elements of this game are omnipresent, so much so that you can find an average piece of armor and upgrade it to a point that it can compete with some of the best items in the game..There is a talent point system similar to The Witcher that unlocks new abilities depending how you progress through; however, rather than being a singular tree, the starting talents form a circular menu and there's overlap between some of the progression paths.

    The combat is a little clunky at times, I found the camera at times to be working against me and leading to my death. However, the actual mechanics within the combat systems are very cool, in the sense that I can kick, dodge, riposte, parry etc. Many of these bound to a separate key which allows control over your character. It's worth admitting that i'm playing this game with a keyboard and mouse, it may flow more naturally with a controller. However, I do feel this games combat is a step down from Spiders prior offering The Technomancer.

    Taken on its own merits i'm giving this game a 10. It was crafted on a budget of 5 million when compared to the 100 million for Mass Effect Andromeda, and crushes that game in every aspect and with a team of 50. Overall for the level of quality of game we have here, it's amazing that it was crafted over 3 years by a development team of 40-50 people.    … Expand

    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.
