    The real enjoyment came when mixing up the two elements of conversation and combat. The way that the game allows you to make some really difficult choices in how you go about on the island give a real feeling of importance.

    Greedfall has managed to take me back in time to an era for the RPG that I didn’t realise I missed so much.

    Overall, I enjoyed my time playing GreedFall immensely. The setting and lore of the world helped to cement me deep into everything. If you're looking for an in-depth RPG that lets you make choices in a seldom seen world with both muskets and magic, then GreedFall is right up your alley.

    The best thing about GreedFall is that intangible thing called “flow”: it’s easy to get hooked up and just play it, even though the game doesn’t offer nuanced mechanics or meticulously detailed world. [Issue#241, p.52]

    Greedfall is wildly ambitious and that is both its greatest boon and misstep. Were Spiders able to rein in their expectations we might have a more complete and perfect game here but as it stands there is too much filler to make this a flawless recommendation. Maybe next time.

    GreedFall has some of the most compelling characters and storylines so far this year. Unfortunately, they're buried by dated technology and a serious lack of polish.

    Because Greedfall is so cavalier about its colonialist themes, and because it plays it safe by sticking so closely to the template of open-world RPGs, it doesn't really feel revelatory in any way. Instead, it's content to be just another digital playground--just another world filled with magic, riches, secrets, and monsters for players to shoot and loot at will. I did have fun when I got lost in its familiar RPG loop, but its lack of nuance or innovation prevents it from being truly remarkable.

    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.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.
