    Don't believe the negative spam reviews. Fantastic game which is a huge leap from Technomancer.

    An excellent game, especially for an AA production.

    The graphic quality is realy nice, the artistic direction is gorgeous.
    I really liked how you have several ways to solve a quest.

    The story is great, just like the dialogs. If you liked games like Dragon Age 1 or the Witcher 3, you can't go wrong with this one :)

    A gem that we most didn't expect even me.
    Have been disappointed as of late, Bioware to Bethesda to name a couple who cannot seem to put out a good single player RPG game....

    Do you want a story/world/character development to customization options of gear, advanced character builds/choices that matter in world and hard choices that affect your character to npcs and how the world views you. Want to button mash combat or pause combat and micro manage, awesome visually flushed out world to explore all of this combined making it read like a good book of choice that sucks you in. Well This game will drag you in. This is one game none expected that came out of nowhere. 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. This is the game for you.    … 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.

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

    Really awesome game, and a must play for all 3rd person RPG fans.
    It trully feels like a combination of Dragon Age Inquisition and an unpolished Witcher 3.

    Spiders are going places if they keep raising their production value like this.

    As an AA title I think it's amazing what Spiders achieved with a modest budget, The quests are meaningful, with various ways of solving them.

    I'm just 10 hours in and loving every moment

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

While there are a few critiques I would make such as more companion dialogue in and out of combat, more varied magic, and a proper epilogue scene instead of a narrated slideshow, I find that the greatness of the story and its characters definitely make up for it. We’re these few things addressed GreedFall would easily put itself at the top of my list of favourite fantasy RPGs. I only wish I could play it fresh a second time!… Expand

    Went into the game wanting to not like it, but ending up loving it. It has bugs and some awkward camera angles but it's not game breaking and doesn't make the game less enjoyable.
    The story and characters are great.
    If you enjoy story heavy games with a lot of dialogue you should give it a try.

    This game is awesome. It is interesting how the relationship among the characters can change the story and the secondary quests also affect the progress of the main story. I couldn't stop playing the game until it finished.

    Support the developers and buy this game. It is one of the best games that I have ever played.

    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.
