Mit Greedfall fährt Spiders nun ersten Lohn für ihre Mühen ein. Greedfall ist nämlich ein wirklich rundes Spiel geworden. Ein dialoglastiges ARPG der alten Schule. Gut geschriebene Charaktere, tolles World Building und nicht zuletzt viel, viel Dialog, in dem die unterschiedlichen Intrigen und Geschehnisse der Spielwelt und ihrer Fraktionen hervorragend erzählt werden. Natürlich erfindet Spiders das Genre nicht neu. Und natürlich zeugen steife Charakteranimationen und ein oft eher clunky anmutendes Spielgefühl vom eher kleinen Budget des Titels. Greedfall macht aber vieles gut, was die meisten anderen falsch machen. Oder sagen wir es anders - man ist immer so gut wie die anderen schlecht sind. Vielleicht sollte man eben doch nicht nur an Monster Budgets und Riesenerfolg denken, wenn man Rollenspiele entwickelt, sondern an gutes World Building und gutes Quest Design. Beides kann Greedfall. Beides konnte Bioware am Ende nicht mehr. So ist das eben.… Expand

    I put off playing this game simply because I had never heard of the developer, Spiders. When I finally picked it up, I was blown away by how great this game was.

    I've decided to purchase some prior Spiders RPGS to support the developer Spiders (Bound by Flame; Mars War Logs; and The Technomancer). I have not played these games yet and am well aware that their quality will likely be much less than Greedfall's, but I was so impressed with Greedfall that now I want to support Spiders at all costs.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excelente juego de RPG, con mecánicas interesantes y un combate y exploración simples pero muy entretenidos. A pesar que que es un juego que no tiene el presupuesto de un AAA (se nota en algunos aspectos técnicos), tiene una historia muy buena y las mecánicas de RGP están bien pulidas, con un árbol de habilidades sencillo, pero efectivo. El juego tiene varios finales, dependiendo de las elecciones que se tomen, y el combate cambia bastante según la clase elegida, lo que le da un buen valor de rejugabilidad.
    El juego no destaca por sus gráficos, pero para quienes disfrutan de un buen RPG, Greedfall es un gran juego.    … Expand

    Крутой сюжет, крутые квесты! Игра прямо как книга, интересные истории иногда с весьма необычными поворотами.
    Минибоссы прикольные, боевка необычная но очень далека от экшена. Локации красивые, но ограничения уж сильно условные, порой рушат погружение.

    Ratings for this one should be way higher. Incredible social game. Very interesting plot, lines and characters. RPG elements on point. I MUST give it a ten. BUT in order to play, one must have in mind that conversations, decisions and relationships are a big part of the game. If you don't appreciate it or like to skip everything you can, you will probably feel bored soon.

One really surprising thing is how outside events interrupt the main story, you have to go and deal with sudden changes in circumstances (won't spoil it) which makes it feel like the player's missions are not the only thing going on in the world. I thoroughly recommend this if you like RPGs or story-driven games.… Expand

    The class system isn't the best, but it encourages you to cross train, which is nice. I even created my character in a way that didn't match any of the archetypes (I focused on guns and magic...no melee). It definitely is a bit buggy and glitchy, but no more so than mass effect was.

Story wise it was predictable is some ways, and surprised me in others. The choices you make in side quests make a definite difference in how good or bad your ending is. They can make a "bad" ending relatively acceptable, or a good ending almost unsatisfactory. This level of branching was last seen for me in mass effect 2. That is pretty awesome company to be in. I keep comparing it to mass effect because it honestly felt like classic bioware.

    A game with unique style. It is an action RPG set in a 17th century like fantasy setting and deals with colonization and different nations political relations to each other. You are a Legate of the Merchant Congregation sent to the colonized land / island of Teer Fradee along with your cousin who will be the Governor (He is more of a little brother and best childhood friend). Your positionA game with unique style. It is an action RPG set in a 17th century like fantasy setting and deals with colonization and different nations political relations to each other. You are a Legate of the Merchant Congregation sent to the colonized land / island of Teer Fradee along with your cousin who will be the Governor (He is more of a little brother and best childhood friend). Your position as legate can be described as diplomat, scout / explorer, solver of issues and deal maker. Lets start with the story. It is refreshing and engaging. It has some good twists and all mayor nations that colonized the land have different goals or worldviews. You will see the best and worse of them. I especially like that your actions have meaning or influence. Be it your reputation with your companions that wont agree with all your choices or the reputation with the other nations. You must try to appeal to everyone and it is sometimes like to juggle with sharp objects while being blindfolded. There will be conflicts of interest to solve and decisions to make. Without supporting you will not get support;-). After the conclusion the game will give you the resolve to mayor and minor actions and what happened to the characters and important NPCs. Be warned to carefully rethink what you do. I like the actual diplomatic stuff. The quest are sometimes favors, getting support or exchanges. You will be tricked or be the trickster, make your own plots and schemes while being involved in other peoples schemes or exploited by them. It is however not black and white as there are factions inside the mayor nations that have different opinions or goals. Another part is the exploration of the semi open world. You travel across multiple maps while you explore the island. There is a lot to discover. Be it loot, shrines that give you extra skill points or new locations. I like the art style and graphics. However I must made the statement that the developer is not a AAA one so this is not system seller performance but I came to the conclusion that it does not need to be and it would be unfair to demand it. I like my companions which have their own goals and side quest. Some are romanceable and all are believable and well written. The gameplay is good but has some rough edges. It took me some time to get used to the controls and getting some abilities is really helpful. It has the old style of character development that you cant learn all abilities. Warning: You cant use the best items in each class when you did not level the correct abilities. The ability tree has 3 branches. First are skills that allow you to use certain types of skills and define your role as warrior, mage or technician. It is only restricted in a way that you cant learn the highest tier of all roles. You can have cross class set ups like a warrior that can use magic or set traps like a technician. I used a mage that has pistols and riffles as back up. A fair warning is that spending to many points in different abilities weakens your character or it takes longer to get more out of them. Talents are the second branch and are gained every 5 levels. These are important and should be spend carefully. These contain your interactions with the world like charisma (for persuasion), lockpicking, crafting, alchemy, intuition and vigor. All are useful and the developer cared that non is irrelevant. While charisma is more helpful in conversations intuition is also common. Lockpicking is more common than alchemy which is still often used to open paths to unreachable places. Vigor lets you reach hidden areas and the two crafting skills are equally important to archive some goals. You can craft, buy or with luck loot items that improve a talent by 1 point. Never sell those and store them for the occasion. The third tree is attributes and you get 1 point each 4 (or3?) levels. These have passive bonuses and determine what class of weapons and armor you can wear. Plan carefully before you use them as dividing into to many branches is making you weaker. There is of cause the option to re-spend all points with an item. Another point is that there is faction clothing. You need to sneak sometimes into forbidden places and can alternatively dress your party in these clothes to walk inside without questions asked by the guards. All of this is excellent integrated in the game as you have nearly always multiple approaches. Force your way in, bribing, smooth talking, exchange of favors, sneak in, find (hidden) documents / letters / evidence or having the right party member in your group. Last one helped enormous and only 1 time failed in my play-trough. There are some negatives. Some small glitches that are not serious and one crash. It is not a AAA title and I rated it properly because of it. Would still be a really good game without this. Overall this is a refreshing and entertaining game. I like the setting, ideas and game mechanics. Will maybe a forgotten game because it is not a AAA one.… Expand

    Ultimately, GreedFall is another step forward for Spiders and is its strongest entry to date. Its previous releases may elicit some skepticism, but GreedFall, while not perfect, is a welcome addition to the gaming canon. It is a fine example of what smaller developers like Spiders can offer to complement the other experiences out there. Even with its faults, RPGamers should welcome GreedFall into their personal collections.
