    Just finished Greedfall in its entirety with completing all side missions and main quest line and I will say I am very impressed. This was such an enjoyable game even when it was sad and emotional at times as its quite the dark game.

Its surprising a AA game can outperform with story and gameplay when studios like Bioware and Bethesda and failed miserably in recent years. I would compare to Dragon age origin with a sprinkle of Witcher 3, if you like these games you will enjoy this.
    Yes as its a smaller studio with a lower budget some mistakes come through like, being a female character and being called him or prince etc about 60% of the time hopefully they patch this in the future. I didn’t experience the motion sickness effect the walking cycle was fine for myself and didn't experience any frame drops like that.
    All in all I played a diplomat that wanted the best for everyone to unite and have peace so a paragon route and it produced a lovely ending. Also with my romance with Kurt was pretty adorable so happy I picked him. With the twists and turns of this story you get a lot of surprises you are expecting I am happy to give such a high score as I haven't experience this quality of an RPG in a long time and hope this studio produces more quality content in the future my eyes will be on them thats for sure.    … Expand

    Played it for 25 hours and this is a fun game with a rich story - much better than a rating of 73 would suggest. It does need some polish on graphics performance, but the story more than makes up for it. Lore is interesting, companions have fleshed out back stories and interesting loyalty quests, interesting and varied side quests - I cant remember any that felt like boring fetch quests.Played it for 25 hours and this is a fun game with a rich story - much better than a rating of 73 would suggest.

    I was impressed and surprised after having finished my 50 hour playthrough of this game.
    I'd say its competing for my game of the year now.
    Despite obvious technical flaws,due to constricted budget,Spiders managed to offer us an amazingly beautiful world,not the most

    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    My new favorite game from Spiders, even better than Of Orcs and Men.

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

    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.

    The game starts off decently enough, but one quickly realizes that it is just a repetitive slog with a mildly interesting story.

    First of all, the notion that you are exploring an island is pretty much not true. There are distinct zones that all have predetermined paths, like Dragon Age: Origins (which people are wont to compare this game to -- it doesn't come close, though).

Unlike that game, there is no interesting, choice-heavy dialogue or challenging, engaging combat. Instead, dialogue is almost completely linear, and any choices you make are essentially irrelevant. As far as combat is concerned, it is mind-numbingly easy compared to something like DA:O, even on the highest difficulty (note that difficulty in this game only affects how much damage you take). Character customization is extremely shallow. Companions cannot be customized beyond their gear. The story is decent, but considering there is virtually no player choice involved (and I mean it, there are no big decisions to make here like DA:O with the exception of the ending), I was just too bored to go on with it. This feels like a Dragon Age: Origins knock-off of decidedly lesser quality. Absolutely not worth $50 -- $20 sounds more reasonable, and even then I would hesitate purchasing.    … Expand

    Not bad, but not great either. If there's anything this game reminds me of - it's Dragon Age 2.

There's almost no chance to do a quest incorrectly, neither there are enough weighted moral desicions throughout the quests. Frankly speaking, with how often the quests turned out with "native man good and wise, colonizer man bad and destructive", I started thinking that the senion designer is probably female. Wasn't wrong. Not that it's the biggest fault of this game, but it definately substracted from already linear storytelling. Combat isn't bad, but it's' not interesting either, especially with how broken the parry button is. Endings are disappointing, they probably intended for something else, but how can I tell now. Level design is, once again, most like Dragon Age 2 and that's not a particular compliment. Class level isn't engaging or distinct. RPG is lackluster, unless your intent is to play out the diplomat, which is basically the only correct option. Still, the game provides 30-40 hours of tolerable gameplay and story and a couple of meaningful decisions, so might as well recommend to pick it up, while it's on sale.… Expand

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

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

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

It is tedious to once again see religion as some crazy inquisition type fanatical, violent and secretive group of violent people. This point gets me when it comes to narrative as it is repeated almost all the time and is just not reasonable. If we really want to sterotype somebody here let's go for the third reich or Pol Pots Cambodia or maybe Communist leadership in Russia all of whom took a fanatical and macabre delight in murdering countless millions of people, mostly because they were religious. Napoleon would be another good example , the way invading forces across Europe raped and brutally murdered, Spanish and Portuguese (who were mostly Catholic) all for the purpose of a single Europe under an Emperor enlightened by science was madness. Anyway, my point here is simple, be a bit creative with your plots and stories. Graphics don't matter half as much as the tale; it's easy to overlook bad lip sync, monotone voices, bland faces and a slighlty better than average combat system (thought that was a good effort) if the tale, characters...

    Good RPG. Very Spiders-like, but better - if you know their games you know what I mean the progress is obvious from game to game. Very good story, excellent VA, nice music, interesting combat (for some - questionable, but unlike typical Spiders' combat not over-hard). A bit pricey fir the company level, but if you like Spiders' games - worth it.

    TLDR: The beginning of the game is fun and the amount of ways you can do quests is enjoyable. Most Characters however lack personality. About halfway through the game you realize all the quests you're getting are the same as ones you've done, and the paths the game has you take are horrible.

    The good:

    I freaking loved Petrus and the Bishops interactions together and really wish there was more character building like that
    Quests have many ways you can do things

    The bad:
    Travel times later get ridiculous on where the map sends you
    Quests get repetitive and certain story elements just don't make sense
    On the topic of the story there's no real twists that aren't predictable

    About 12 hours into it now, level 15. As 6.5/10 a game could get. It's a stripped down version of Dragon Age Inquisition in every way. It also reminds me of Guild wars 2. The graphics can be nice but everything is very stiff. The combat is extremely basic. The characters are not very interesting. neither is the story, and all the tribes are so similar and the way they speak is disgusting.About 12 hours into it now, level 15. As 6.5/10 a game could get.

    So the game overall is good. the story progression is nice but the combat and game play needs a lot of improvement. and there is no suggestion of how difficult the quest is for a particular level or what is the recommended level for the quest. Many RPG games have it and that's a must have, in my opinion.

I guess from now on I'm supposed to imagine how great a game could have been, if the developers had enough money? There's a long line of AAA failures in the past year that say otherwise. And Greedfall certainly doesn't have to hide from the Anthems and Fallouts 0.76 out there.

    It's far from perfect, and it misses something to focus on, that one really *great* thing among all the mediocre writing and graphics and mechanics. Everything seems to be designed to make a good first impression, but doesn't have any depth to it. It gets stale very fast because the game is pushing every button in the first two hours, and then just stops progressing in any discipline.

    You *think* you've got a lot of RPG skills and ways to solve problems, but most of the time it comes down to which of the three doors (the locked one, the exploding wall one or the open one where you have to talk to people) you choose, and more than once I ran into at least one of the other "solutions" by accident.

    Other times you know exactly what the "solution" is going to be, but you still have to run across town several times to activate the scenario where you can get to work on that solution. You have elements like climbable walls and super obvious "blocked" doors that tell you exactly where a mission will take place and how it's going to be long before that scenario is activated. And yet they still have you backtracking across the whole city twice and more to "solve" that mystery.

    Is that how great RPGs work? No. Mediocre RPGs that bit off more than they can chew, yes. So they should really keep in mind that they have limits the next time instead of turning it into an excuse.

    And they have to do something about the facial animations OR do a LOTR game where everyone is the mouth of Sauron.    … Expand

Surprised something this good came from an indy studio when you out do Bioware and Bethesda that is saying something.

    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.

    PROS:

    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.

    Visuals: 6/10
    The game looks good all around.
    The world design is decent, but big minus for invisibile walls. Also the lip sync is atrocious, which is a no-go for a story driven RPG. The equipment and factions all look very similar, which becomes very boring, very quickly. The UI looks like a more adult version of Fisher-Price. Lots of unnecessary elements and handholding there.    Visuals: 6/10

    Sound: 8/10
    Decent in any regard, voiceover, music, sfx... Just nothing really memorable.

    Story: 2/10
    Nope.
    Just no.
    The setting sounds interesting, but the devs didn't do anything interesting with it. The story itself is pretty much counter-productive for what makes an RPG enjoyable. The factions hardly differ from each other. The player character has no personality whatsoever. All the characters in the game are extremely one-dimensional. The game doesn't even have an interesting goal and there are hardly any real choices for the player to make.
    Also the whole story is stretched out way too long for what little content there actually is to it.
    Also, again, the lipsynch is just so bad, it destroys any possible immersion in the game when looking at their mouths while watching one of the way too many cutscenes in the game.

    Gameplay: 4/10
    Nothing new here, literally. Just a bunch of things copied from other games. There is a armor mechanic, which in essence is just another layer of hitpoints, so that doesn't count either. Even if it would, it's so minor it doesn't even matter.
    In combat the player feels disconnected from the action due to the nonsensical camera handling.
    The combat system itself is extremely simple. But it's overall workable. Just not fun enough for more than one playthrough.
    Exploration? Not for you! Invisible walls everywhere, nothing to really discover, minimap and common buildings in cities being mazes are sure to ruin any possible joy out of exploring the world.
    The companions are very annoying with their constant commentary during combat.
    The Balancing is absolutely horrible. Lots of abilities that completely negate game mechanics and also lots of abilities that are utterly pointless.
    The RPG mechanics couldn't be any more simplistic and vanilla than in this game.
    Also UI is a huge mess and destroys any possible immersion in the game.

    Summary: 5/10

    Greedfall is yet another soulless RPG made by ticking little boxes on a checklist.
    It doesn't do anything better than any other RPG.
    It doesn't have a single creative idea in it.
    It is very average in most regards and horrible in some others. Regrettably, there isn't a single thing in the game that could even be considered as above average. Except for the Sound, but that isn't exactly a reason to play game.
    It raises the question why the devs even bothered making this game... though obviously it's just a cashgrab by disillusioned devs that ran out of ideas a long time ago.

    So if you love RPGs and looking for an all in all slightly below average one, this is your game.
    Though ultimately another run of Dark Souls, Nioh, Breath of the Wild, Gothic or even Witcher or Skyrim will be more enjoyable than this.    … Expand

    The story is pleasantly engrossing and like many good open world rpgs can be ignored entirely to explore and finish side quests.
    There are love interest’s in the game that like DA and ME game add a bit more emotional investment to draw you in the game.
    Ignore the whiners and give greed fall a shot if you miss Dragon age and mass effect games. Also a huge point for many no DENUVO included. Spiders made a vast improvement over technomancer there last game of this type for a big win.    … Expand

    I would easily say that this game deserves an 8/10 because of its robust RPG mechanics, it's fantastic combat and voice acting as well as an above average story. Is this game perfect? Definitely not. The world feels repetitive at times with a lot of copy pasted buildings and interiors that kinda breaks immersion a bit and some.of the animations look awkward.

At the same time we need to understand that this game has been made by just 40 people and considering the scope and sir of the game, I think they did a fantastic job. I gave it an additional point so that people buy this game and support the developers so that they can bring us a sequel with non of the issues present in this brilliant first attempt… Expand

    Looks great! I cant wait to get deeper into game! First impressions really nice!
    Skills and mechanics works good, because there is a lot to explore and understand. Fight is great "plus" of this game. Quests are pretty interesting (Constantin thread is one of the greatest), so Spiders did awesome job.

    This is not terrible, but it is mediocre.
    The facial animation might actually be worse than Andromeda.
    The writing is poor, and fetch quests galore. Combat is average, control with a pad is janky and jittery.

    If I was going to compare it to another game, it would be Dragon Age Inquisition, but with fewer choices to make in game. This is not a rpg, it is just an action game with some story.

    Not as polished as it could be, but it actually has been a breath of fresh air for me. It’s nice to know there is still a company that can create a great RPG game and not find 10 other ways to nickel and dime it’s players.

    Very good writing and atmosphere. The only cons are the animations, but the atmosphere and writing completely make you forgot about it.

    I'll update this when I get further but so far, it runs amazing and looks even better. The facial animations are a little off but personally unless it gets to ME:A levels, they aren't bad and they never get that far. EXTREMELY well optimized too. All highest levels and streaming and my CPU and GPU never went above 40% which is fantastic.

    Taking a really ballsy setting, mixing Colonialism and Fantasy, with a god take on art direction, GreedFall is able to provide an exquisite experience on roleplaying terms. Based on several classic options: figth, calaborate, conversate, takedown it silently...or even sneap up and ignore it...
    Add to it a decent history and you have here a good sleeper of the year.    … Expand

    Not even out yet, and without full playthrough shouldn't be any negative. Why hurt a game before it even has a chance, pointless and just ruins the industry.

    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.
