    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.

    Unique setting is surprisingly fun the story is not a 10/10 but is good enough . No technical issues (bugs - glitches - etc) this is a big plus for me

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Played it for like 20 minutes and decided that I can't be bothered with how complicated and clunky combat is. Well that on top of how average the game is, because I would have put up with the crappy combat controls on PC if the game was blowing me away.

    Perhaps the experience is better with a controller but I'm a PC pleb who isn't using one nor intends to.

    If you enjoyed playing games like Gothic, Risen, and ELEX, then you might like this game as well. Despite the weird lip-syncing voice over, I find the game playable so far and I would give a 7/10. I've put in about 3 hours, doing as much as I can in the beginning area including all the side-quests (harbour). As far as performance goes, it is quite actually really well optimized.

They didn't have a large budget AND THEY MANAGE TO MAKE THIS EXTREMELY OBVIOUS. Some of their failings though can not be attributed to a small budget but just to bad design and poor execution. Terrible animations, bland combat (a lot of it is just M1 spam), boring/uninteresting loot, humdrum uncompelling world and narrative which railroads you for the most part with few to no interesting choices to make. The entire game world looks mostly the same with many overly reused assets (almost as bad as the attrocities commited by Dragon Age 2), there is very little enemy diversity, and quests can be quite tedious with a lot of running back and forth.

    The only one strong point I can think of is that a lot of the voice acting is quite well done (with a strong exception in the companion Siora) - but this just makes it even more tragic that everything they're saying is trash in terms of quality story telling. The content of what they're actually saying is mostly a snorefest, but at least they sound good saying it (and it's too bad their character models' mouths and expressions don't match at all either).    … Expand

    Full of Potential
    Greedfall is an open worldish rpg where you play as your own created character as they set out to find a cure for a plague taking over the lands…
    And im gonna get right to the point.. the story here is sooo boring, it wont pull you through this 19 hour adventure at all… I couldn’t tell your character names or plots.. I just couldn’t bother to care…
    except for of course my character and my characters cousin…
    So naturally the game must rely on its gameplay… and thankfully this is where Greedfall shines.
    GreeFall very quickly reminded me of Dragon Age Origins with a slight hint of assassins creed and the witcher…
    As you progress the game youll gain a party with hteir own quests, you can equip them with better items and gear throughout your journey….
    structure wise the game is the same from start to finish.. run to a travel marker or campfire.. fast travel to the quest location.. run to the spot on the map while you fight enemies in between, listen to some boring dialog… rinse and repeat until you get to an exciting boss battle…
    If you’ve played 2 hours of GreedFall you’ve played all hours of greedfall… nothing changes.
    But there was just something about it that kept me hook, icouldnt put this game down…
    Im not quite sure what It is… but despite the gamplay not changing up, and the story being so boring.. I couldn’t help but want to see this journey through to its end…
    it had some sortve spell on me…
    Despite all of its problems..
    There are essentially 2 different section to the world.. city and forest…
    Every city, every forest look and feel nearly identical from the outside to the insides
    enemies are few and far between.. but the hook was there.. leveling up… dumping my skills into a tree, making my character stronger and stronger… which does bring me to the biggest issue I have with this game…
    Leveling here is painfully slow…
    Sadly you kind of have to stick to one thing and one thing only per playthrough…
    You cant have a character that can carry powerful weapons and have heavy armor for example.. you just cant…
    Due to how slow points are given for each of the 3 trees, you have to really specialize in one thing which I don’t mind too much… but that was until the game was basically forcing me to choose certain skilsl towards the end of the story.. youre forced to craft items only about 4 times in the story.. but still to craft those 4 items you have no choice but to dump two skill points into areas you may otherwise not care to build upon..
    If im a warrior I shouldn’t be forced to dump my skills into science if im not crafting potions the whole game…
    This breaks the otherwise feeling of freedom the game has…
    Youre free to treat character in this game any way youd like, there are no fail states to missions… if youre detected when youre told not to you just have to fight your way through and figure things out from there…
    But forcing you to spend your points in a game that rarely hands those points out just really bothered me.. if youre going to make item crafting necessary for story progression, you shouldn’t also tie it to a skill and force me to use my remapping crystals.
    All in all though GreedFall has so much potential…
    With more incentive to explore, less item binding to certain skills or at the very least more points to spend as you level and a better story I believe GreedFall 2 or whatever spyder decides to do next could be even better…
    I give GreedFall

I like the ending, thanks for the possibility to choose. Also, the design of all 3 cities is great. Haven't seen this before.

    La historia principal es tremenda y todo el sistema RPG (compañeros, localizaciones, equipo, toma de decisiones...)funciona a las mil maravillas. Mención a parte para las secundarias, de lo mejor que he visto. Nada de ser recaderos, aquí cada secundaria se engloba dentro de una sub-trama y cada una te deriva a otra del mismo hilo, teniendo todas relación con la historia principal, muy similar a lo visto en los mass effect (misiones de compañeros y de "clanes") pero sin abusar de estas huyendo del relleno (como si pasaba en mass effect Andrómeda)

    Como puntos negativos hay que nombrar, el sistema semiabierto (tipo DQ XI), este juego hubiera ganado muchos enteros siendo un mundo abierto completo, la escasez de variedad de enemigos y sobre todo su sistema de combate, el cual si bien cumple, es bastante mediocre y no resulta tan satisfactorio como otros juegos. Echo en falta alguna ejecución, violencia, algo menos de caos visual contra grupos de enemigos...

    It's an enjoyable game, with a many qualities though none of them reach great heights except the soundtrack.

    It's a pseudo-open world with many of the rpg mechanics you'd expect to find. A good all-rounder, if a little too combat heavy towards the last act.

    Pick up on a sale if you're particularly into this genre.

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

    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

    And god help you if you find out that you can only do an objective arbitrarily at night because you can run all the way back to camp to change the time and then run back again through the awful maze like city streets that are designed to waste as much of your time as possible while you run between two objectives.

    The romance options are terrible, it feels like they are only there because every big RPG needs to have them but they have no effort put into them. Your relationship with your compannions is based on a single conversation, if you can guess what the character wants you to anwser to 3 questins you get to romance them but if you mess up even a single anwser you are locked out for good from the romance. No interaction matters apart from these 3 random questions.

    The save system is awful as well, there are 2 kinds of autosaves but there are only 1 slot for each (as well as for quick saves) which makes them almost entirely useless since the game autosaves almost every 5 seconds so you better be making lots of manual saves before you lock yourself out of romance options for example if you don't want to restart the enitre game. When I loaded back an older save to try another route I also got a bug that prevented me from saving ever again.

    Even something as simple as opening a door is a huge waste of time, there's a nice animation for it but I was already sick of it before even leaving the starting town. It stops you completely dead in your tracks to play the animation that takes around 4 seconds, that might not sound much, but there are multiple doors in every building making indoor exploration extremely tedious and the game loves to make you run around buildings talking to people so it adds up over the around 30 hours of gameplay, I might have spent a quarter of an hour of my playthrough just opening doors.    … 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.

    [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.]

    These recommendations come with a boatload of “ifs.
    It's only held back by a few issues (or stiff competition).

Y la trama, está muy bien y plantea un mundo interesante, pero está narrada de un modo que hace difícil apasionarse por ella. 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.

Then there's the semi open world: semi open because it's not a huge inter-connected open world like SKYRIM, but rather sevreal small areas connected by travel points (to a much smaller scale comparable to THE WITCHER 2).
    Sounds & voice are serviceable as well, nothing special, but still good. The exception are the voice actors of the player character (you get to choose between a male or female); they are outstanding.
    The game feels very much like DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION (but it is much better than that one, and unlike INQUISITION this one has a day and night cycle!) with a pausable action-oriented combat system that has a DRAGON AGE-like skill bar with cool-down at the bottom, but mostly unimpressive and as basic as it gets.

    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.

    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.

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 same as every other Spiders game. The combat is shallow and very casual, you easily become OP. The world isnt open, its a bunch of small hub maps and everything is already pre marked on your map. You just go from point A to B to hear people talk until every dialogue option is exhausted and the game marks your next objective and off you go with no sense of exploration or freedom, if youThe same as every other Spiders game.

    The difference with this one is that is well detailed and looks good, that's enough to fool a lot of brainlets into thinking its a better game than it actually is.    … Expand

    Clumsy, predictable and shallow. There were some decent things about it like the outdoor environment and voice acting for the most part. The mechanics and writing were abysmal. There is romance, but it is barely above what Skyrim did, so if that's what your looking for this game has no real depth there.

    I think that i always will compare that type of games with Mass Effect Trilogy as a best experience what you can get from this genre.
    GreedFall has a strong story, nothing extraordinary but interesting, without white spots or pointless bad guys. I love sidequests, there aren't nonsense looting quests from ME, every sidequest is a part of big story.

    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. First game of ganre of ME, DA, or GreedFall what fix this problem will become big.    … Expand

    Its a RPG game based on a fictional island with London like cities in the 1700. There are three factions and each of them are very grounded and have a goal and drive to achieve what they want. The morality is thin in the world which makes you take tough choices and live with the consequences and the game doesn't punish you but rather encourages you to carve your own destiny.

The combat is a combination of guns and swords. You often take a NPC with you on missions to help you out and some of the forest creatures and boss battles are very tough. The graphics and glitches are annoying and the world feels semi-open world as you have to run around everywhere but its an overall good game.… Expand

    TL;DR - In lot of ways this game reminds me of Witcher 2, and Mass Effect 1, both in style of game, but also in sense that it feels like it would join the all time greats such as Witcher 3, and Mass Effect 2 if the team behind it had the bigger budget and capacity

    Things I disliked most:
    ❌Lack of environment variety - cities and open-world kind of feel the same. Unique quests do set them apart, but it is definitely something noticable after 10-15 hours of gameplay
    ❌ Lack of enemy variety - what I mean by this is mostly aimed at those brown bear-like creatures, there are soo many of them, and it becomes very annoying to see them for 100th time. What makes it noticable is that all of them have this dark/brown color, so even if there is different enemy, because it has same color it feels like it's same enemy.
    ❌ (small nitpick) Not being able to fast travel from anywhere - this is very small thing, but after ~15 hours it was bit annoying that I couldn't just teleport to other areas, but had to walk to the campfire and then teleport, it's not big issue but something that annoyed me

    Things I liked most:
    ✔️Ability to solve quests in multiple ways - Here is some example - you can convince guards to let you in, you can disquise yourself as sailor and walk around like in Hitman games, you can craft bomb and blow up wall, you can make sleeping pills and poison drink so guards fall a sleep, or you can just fight through. In my opinion this is essence of great RPG and this game has it! :)
    ✔️RPG mechanics - charisma, science, crafting, vigor, lockpicking etc. they aren't all feel like they have place and are useful, while at same time not feeling like they are too much
    ✔️Story, characters and quality of quests - absolute highlight of game, quests are on par with some of the best RPGs out there, very fun.
    ✔️Being able to pause time in fight and plan out next move - YES, more games need to add this, it reminds me of Dragon Age Origins
    ✔️Companions - All are unique, interesting, have well written lines, great quests associated with them, and you can romance them. They have been great addition to the journey, and they don't make game too easy, so no reason to not bring them with you.
    ✔️Boss fights are cool + combat is fun - it's not Sekiro/Elden Ring, but it's pretty good, it doesn't feel too hard, and it doesn't feel too easy, I have played as technician and combat felt balanced on Hard difficulty
    ✔️Arena - I love when RPG has arena, and this one is fun + has nice quests associated with it.

    All in all, I have enjoyed this game very much, and am excited to see what devs do for the future! I will recommend this game to anybody who enjoyed more "talk" oriented RPGs (like Witcher and Mass Effect)    … Expand

    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.

    I have very mixed feelings about this game. No matter how much I wanted to, it was a game that I couldn't get into and I couldn't play for long hours. First of all, the optimization of the game is very bad. The gameplay and story are also very ordinary and boring after a short while. If I manage to play it in the future, maybe I will change the review.

    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.
