    By far one of the best games I have played in years and I always buy the best rpg titles. Days gone didn't keep me intrigued or this immersed in the game for even half the time that greedfall has. One of the best rpg games I have ever played hands down.

    Very boring, unfortunately. It's actually one of the only games I've not felt like going back to after trying once. Combat is about the same as Lords of the Fallen, but faster and with less or the same collision, though maybe a bit better than Mortal Shell. Controls for dodge and sprint are silly

    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

    I really liked this game, as it had a real Mass Effect feel to it. However, the pockmarks really come out after 10 or so hours in.

    This game really feels like it needed more time to be finished. There are so few bad guys, and the faces are downright PS3 era. The story is engaging enough, and the controls are tight. It's on PS Now, and to be honest, I wouldn't recommend anyone play it outside that service.    … Expand

This happens over and over again throughout the game and it’s completely infuriating. Whoever came up with this idea should never be involved with making an action game ever again.

    How much you get out of Greedfall will depend largely on how much you enjoy the story, for me it was the best part of the game and kept me consistently entertained throughout the 40 hours I spent with it.

The combat, and RPG systems are also thoroughly enjoyable, but unfortunately they start to get very old towards the end of the game. Combat doesn't really change too much from the first to the last hour, and the RPG mechanics that hands out hard earned and useful ability points which at first seem so vital, are far less impactful towards the end. Another thing of note is the world, it's a joy to explore each zone and discover the campsites and for an AA game the art direction is stunning, however towards the end you'll encounter missions that take you from one zone to another, this leads to most of your time being spent looking at loading screens as you fast travel to the campfire closest to your objective, running 20 meters then repeating. Other little niggles like repeated in door layouts and assets may break immersion for some, but they didn't bother me too much. If I'd reviewed the game at 20 hours I'd have had no qualms giving it an 8 maybe even a 9 as it captured that Bioware magic of old, however it failed to stick the landing. It's still well worth playing the conclusion of the story, but I felt like I was struggling towards that finish line.… Expand

    Ugly, boring with clunky broken and laggy combat, overpowered enemies and just plain garbage.. a terrible dragon clone that just foest work right at all..the only saving grace is that I got it for free from ps+.. because not only is it not worth any money, I think the developer should pay us to play it.

    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

    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

The UI, and fast travel in particular is a pain (I hate that they give me a list of fast travel locations instead of showing me a map with them, but love that they indicate which fast travel location is closest to my current quest destination).

    That said, I'm also enjoying it quite a bit. The quest lines are telling interesting stories and that your official job is diplomat gives you an opening to some interesting quest ideas. I chuckled a bit when, after setting up a meeting between two other factions, I was politely told to leave while they actually negotiated because I wasn't part of either faction. The voice acting is pretty good and I like that every group is at least a little shady. The skill tree is fun, if nonsensical (it is really that much harder to fire a rifle than a pistol? - I'm pretty sure historically, rifles came first). The Attribute and Talent advancement always have me debating, Talents, in particular, are a difficult decision because all are so useful.

    I would not recommend this for anyone expecting a post-Witcher 3 level of graphics, but if you're willing to look past its flaws, this is a very fun game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished. 30 hours. First 10 hours were interesting. Second 10 hours were very boring. Third set of 10 hours started off strong but the story was poorly fleshed out and it quickly became boring again.

    The game was just barely "not that bad" enough that I wanted to finish it. I think the ultimate narrative tries to make you feel like a bad person if you don't try to kick all the Europeans off the island. I think that's a bit immature. Nothing was going to stop the civilizations from expanding sooner or later. A desirable outcome would be a peaceful and mutually beneficial method of cultural integration. I didn't have that as an option in my play through.

    The focus of the whole game was to cure the Malicor. The game ended and the Malicor wasn't dealt with at all, despite being in direct contact with the "god" of the island. Maybe I just got a bad ending? I can stand behind most of my character's choices.

    Also, the waypoint system is laggy and often broken. Often adjusting way too late. The Quest system in general felt like it needed more time in the oven. Game had a lot of half baked features.

    I couldn't craft anything until maybe 7 hours in. I couldn't dodge roll until about 20 hours in. The level up system tries to hold you back instead of letting you grow freely. It limits your upgrades and therefore only gives you certain upgrade points every 5 levels or so. That's not fun. Voice acting was spotty. 30% of the time it was engaging and entertaining. The rest was either meh or sometimes even awkward.

    Combat was fine but felt like a downgrade from their last 2 games. Seemed bogged down with this game's level system. Graphics are the game's highlight in my opinion. Some of the game is undeniably beautiful. Although it felt strange that I didn't start seeing breathtaking landscapes and skylines until I was about 24 hours in. Kinda felt like they saved the best for too late in the game lol. I'll say 7/10 giving it the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I just had an unlucky play through.    … Expand

    Since I've played Technomancer on PS4 from the same developer and even played the "enhanced" Greedfall on a PS5 with the upgraded Version, I stopped playing this game around 10 hours as EVERYTHING felt like Technomancer, but within a different setting. I am sorry to say that everything just feels like 50% of what an Dragon Age or "bigger" productions deliver. Graphics, Gameplay, RPG-Elements, feeling of the world, etc.

    It's not a bad game, it's unfortunately just a boring game as everything becomes so fast repetitive that it's just not interesting or fun in any aspect - it wants to be somehow a great game and tries to resemble the big players allot, but it doesn't reach. It's clunky, feels like an early PC-RPG and this island is fractured in thousands of tiny areas that of course have loading screens and everywhere traveling points you have to use if you want to leave that area.

    I'm not a fan of Greedfall and I won't continue playing - maybe if I hadn't finished Technomancer till the end.

    The game looks visually PS3/360 dated. With the PS2/XB looking characters models more so. The 17th century vibe in a fantasy world really doesn't do it for me, but maybe they picked the pirate era to mix it up with magic, melee and guns. Or maybe these developers like DIshonored a lot? Risen 2 had a pirate theme so not many games set in this era. AC Blackflag is totally different type of game to an APRG.

    Combat is functional, but at least it is not Elex, Gothic, Risen bad I suppose? Story writing characters, blah, blah, blah. Things going on that I couldn't care less about. Middle of the road gaming experience not bad, not good. Much like my Outer Worlds experience as in no bite, no oomph, no magic.

    Greedfall is a good idea and a diamond in the rough.

    The graphics of Greedfall are done a disservice by the early hours. The opening hours of the game see you in a labyrinthine town that suffers from blandness and an irritating design. However later in the game the wilderness to be explored is actually quite beautiful, but again becomes bland after a while. Essentially it seems that    Greedfall is a good idea and a diamond in the rough.

However later in the game the wilderness to be explored is actually quite beautiful, but again becomes bland after a while. Essentially it seems that Greedfall could have benefitted from a smaller and more diverse experience. Added to this are my frustrations at regularly not being able to traverse obstacles that a simple jump could overcome. There are a variety of armours in the game, but they really lack diversity, with the same problem befalling the character creation at the beginning of the game which is quite paltry.

    The story of Greedfall is befitting of the character you play as, a diplomat. This is also the downfall of the game, as the game is absolutely stuffed with dialogue and side quests to the point of tedium. The game also tries to implement a choice system, wherein you can approach missions in a variety of ways such as stealth, diplomacy or combat. Unfortunately this is a rather tired concept we’ve seen spanned across several decades of gaming now, and Greedfall feels more like it’s mimicking better games than it is being innovative with its choices. The concept of befriending and striking a balance between how each group perceives you is good in theory, however I often found myself just doing whatever completed the mission fastest, regardless of the cost, which weren’t very noticeable.

    The gameplay of Greedfall is a strange concept and I have mixed feelings about it. The combat offers some good variety of the usual tropes such as magic, swordplay and gunplay. The problem I have with the gameplay is how unresponsive and sluggish it can be. The running animation tends to be a split second behind my input, making simple acts such as turning a corner rather difficult at times. One thing that I found myself getting very irritated at was how easily my character was knocked over by an attack, slowing down the combat quite a lot.

    It’s understandable that as a diplomat the game involves substantial dialogue, however this can be a bit much for my liking. A lot of the missions involve going back and forth between different characters to question and report to them. This can be a very monotonous experience. Greedfall also suffers from a bit of grinding tedium in order to acquire a variety of skills.

    Essentially, Greedfall isn't afraid to waste your time. You will be doing many monotonous fetch quests as part of this game, and that's just the main quest line. I find it hard to recommend side quests when the main questline isn't even that interesting the first time around. Even in 2011's Skyrim the main questline captures your interest with the dragons. Greedfall almost seems afraid to branch out, as there are demons and monsters in the game, so it's not exactly trying to stick to realism.

    Overall, Greedfall is a game that would have been quite momentous had it not succeeded many powerful games such as Skyrim, Witcher, Dragon Age, Dark Souls and Assassin’s Creed, to name a few. For a 2019 game it can feel more like a remaster of a 2009 game in terms of gameplay mechanisms. Much of the game feels like it has been padded out. Developers need to learn that a solid 15 hours is much better than 30 hours of mostly filler. If you’re an avid RPG player awaiting a new release, this could plug the gap, however there are many better option out there and Greedfall falls too firmly in the middle to be memorable for me.    … Expand

It would be SICK to see a fully open-world immersive Greedfall 2 on PS5. There you go, Spider, challenge offered.

    Textures are quite good, and environment could be great if not so empty. The towns can be boring with LOTS of pointless, empty rooms and houses and lifeless NPC's. The outside world, while a sandbox, is **** beautiful. Scenery doesn't offer too much biodiversity (again I'm only 30 hrs in) but it is awestriking at times. Hats off to the devs on the outdoor enviro.

    Voice acting is overall very good, but with some obvious fails... like the 20-yr old NPC outside of the arena with Petrus' voice, that of a 60-yr old chronic smoker lol. The companions' voice actors did great and really helped me feel like i knew those characters. Also, the companions are decently interesting characters, so good writing there too.

    Combat - 6/10, monsters - 4/10. Most enemies, if not the usual bandits, just look like big grey mangy fluffballs. Hard to tell one monster from the other. Combat adds little that is new and you're unable to command your teammates AI or take control of them like in DAI.

    Score and music are amazing, really set the mood in some of the outdoor maps.

    Quests were quite surprising for a game with some obvious concessions on detail. The quests are far from the typical **** fetch-quests. In fact, the game compartments those fetches in some rare Witcher-esque contracts. Side quests generally have some solid story behind them and are well worth doing. THe side quests definitely impact some outcomes and decisions of the main story. I had as much fun on most of these sidequests as with the WItcher series.

    Crafting, decisions, character building, romance options, all there... just not in such a robust model as you're used to from bigger RPG **** wait what'd i say?! i meant TITLES. yeah no **** in this game.

    Go and check it out on a budget, tame your expectations, and you'll be quite pleased.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Looking past whether this game was or wasn't developed by a well-financed/reputable team, I can comfortably say that this game has been a thoroughly pleasant and surprisingly enjoyable experience. If nothing else, I can say that Greedfall far outshines other games from Spiders and Focus, and would likely prove an enjoyable experience for those who enjoy their Bioware-style RPGs to be balanced in their approaches towards parties/companions, and towards story and combat. There is something here for anyone who has ever enjoyed a third-person RPG in the past. However, there are also a number of grievances I have with this game that make it utterly frustrating to play, and so my playthrough of Greedfall is rife with undeniably enjoyable moments, but also incredibly frustrating experiences that leave me slack-jawed while asking myself "What the hell is with this game?"

    Greedfall shines in a number of places that I appreciate, yet is flawed in a comparable number of ways. It suffers from some issues with presentation - the graphics seems a bit outdated for the current era, and facial animations aren't necessarily believable. However, some of the vocal performances here are utterly outstanding, and it has been a long time since a video game brought me to the verge of tears with the authenticity behind some of its performances (definitely not all of them, though). Of course, there are moments where the dialogue is hilariously banal, and the captions possess countless spelling and grammar mistakes - however, the lack of polish in those areas didn't necessarily diminish the overall experience for me.

    I found that Greedfall had a fairly slow start - the beginning of my journey felt somewhat unengaging, and was reminiscent of the slow-moving starting hours of Fable 3 (perhaps because the voice actor for your main character [if he is male], De Sardet, sounds somewhat like Nicolas Hoult, who played Fable 3's male protagonist). Comparisons to Fable 3 end there, however - the melee combat, while seeming a bit stiff at first, was something I found myself warming up to and enjoying after a few hours. And even though this game may leave you feeling a little annoyed by the various busywork quests you get sent on, this game has far more good about it than the minor annoyances I've mentioned. Oddly, though, there are moments in some of these quests where I am suddenly transported somewhere related to the quest, or a quest's outcome that I thought I had control over ended in an astoundingly annoying and puzzling way. The phrase "What the ****?" passed my lips countless times through my playthrough, and I cannot fathom the weird lack of fulfillment some of these quests left me with.

    The game tends to open up quite a bit when you reach Teer Fradee, and allows you much more freedom in how you approach quests and areas you wish to explore. I found that I felt quite powerful after doing hours and hours of exploring, yet still felt somewhat challenged in combat as I returned to the main quest at my leisure. Furthermore, this game (so far, as far as I can tell) is not impeded by the usual fantasy-RPG issues of long load times or massive graphical stutters. The story is also quite gripping at times, and while I cannot comment on the believability of its overarching sociopolitical commentary, the story and characters proved interesting enough for me to care about them. While Kurt, Siora, Aphra, Vasco and Petrus have yet to prove as memorable to me as Alistair Theirin, Garrus Vakarian, Morrigan or Ashley Williams, I remember their names and some of their defining traits.

    Amidst my praise, however, I have a major problem with this game: Ultimately, much of Greedfall's mid- to end-game relies on you running around performing busywork and appeasing governors. This makes for a sense of futility, as the sense of control you might have over the events of the game seems to slip through your fingers all the time. While some players may enjoy the realism of a setting like this, I cannot help but be puzzled by the seemingly haphazard nature of the plot, some of the quests, and a severe lack of clarity when it comes to what Greedfall was asking me to do.

    Overall, Greedfall's more polished mechanics engaged me enough to get me to play it once through. However, it forced me to leap over many hurdles that frustrated me to no end, and I never got that sense of accomplishment or fulfillment I got from either skill-based action-RPGs like Dark Souls, or from the Bioware CRPGs that Greedfall is trying to emulate (i.e. Dragon Age 2, which this game seems weirdly similar to in many ways).

    I can comfortably say that Spiders has come a long way since Bound By Flame, a game I found unengaging and infuriating. However, I believe there is still a great deal of room for improvement when it comes to future games. I hope to see the company produce something more refined and impactful in the future.    … Expand

    Greedfall is better game then i expected it to be. The story and the combat is what really surprised me the most, especially the cool cut scenes. Spiders pretty much have the best concepts for an RPG games to me, but just don't have all the resources to fully hit their mark. I believe that Greedfall is going to do well and their next RPG is going to be even better because of it!

    PS4 Pro. 20-30 hours 70% completion.

    Strong world and visuals, bland combat, but overall a solid play for RPG fans of games like the Witcher. The HDR visuals look about as good as a AAA game and the colors pop. The 16th century setting is well crafted; from the interiors of buildings to the towns and nature you visit.

    Strong world and visuals, bland combat, but overall a solid play for RPG fans of games like the Witcher.

    The HDR visuals look about as good as a AAA game and the colors pop. The 16th century setting is well crafted; from the interiors of buildings to the towns and nature you visit. Early on I stopped to admire the great level of detail of ships in a harbor. This is around the time a large enemy was introduced and the excitement of the story in the setting hooked me to continue playing. It’s not unlike the Witcher in regards to dialogue with NPC’s and having a world to explore.
    The combat is simple - mash and dodge. There are options for ranged and magic builds, two-handed or single handed, blunt and blade. So there is a little bit of variety with combat and also armor options - all of which is used by adding stat points into options of strength, endurance, etc. The same stats allow the character to approach solutions to accessing areas for missions. And there is a third option to level up things like charisma or lock picking. There is variety but ultimately it’s not that deep when it comes to using practically; the most significant I’ve seen is used for dialogue options.
    The game doesn’t explain how to maximize your equipment and vendors to keep combat balanced. I found using a blacksmith to upgrade equipment in town helped. You’d want to outfit your party with the best options available and utilize these options. Any time you move to a new area, you get access to a vendor and your party memberships in between loading, which is a nice touch. And loading times are relatively short, which was a plus for me.
    I enjoyed the story and characters which has you balancing your reputation amongst factions. Story missions will give you A or B choices which will affect your reputation with companions or factions. Sometimes your choice may not be clear and for someone like me who was invested in the good-guy-everyone-likes-me character, this killed my momentum. I made a choice that later in a mission proved to be against what I wanted for my character and would have had me kill someone unjustly to suppress a truth. That’s when I decided to stop playing. I was too deep into the quest and there was no flexibility for the game to let me back out of the choice or go back to speak to a character. It didn’t make me hate the game but since I rented the title and I enjoyed my play up until then it was easy for me to stop playing because I was so annoyed at how it affected my investment in my character up to that point.
    The same kind of vagueness also happened with companions. I completed every companion quest and I wasn’t aware you could choose to romance one of them. One asked me to talk to them after I selected a choice I didn’t know locked me into romance. So it made my character gay with a fellow male companion, which wasn’t the issue, but it wasn’t the companion I would have chosen.
    The options menus are ok. Any time you switch to one of the two party members that can accompany you, it resets to the first option of choosing weapons and armor rather than leaving you on the item you had selected. So you’ll use the D-pad to switch, L1/R1 for menu, and R2/L2 for sub menu. It gets a little confusing and is cumbersome to have to use switching back and forth when equipping the party.
    For completionists, you’ll be jumping to the menu and clicking over to the map often instead of just having a map to pop up in one click. After going through several areas, I started to get a little bored opening up the map and running around to search through each area.
    Overall this is a very solid offering for a “mid-level” RPG and it’s good qualities almost elevate it to being very good. The meh combat and lack of flexibility show a lack of depth but it’s not bad. I was pleasantly surprised and admired what it offered.    … Expand

The only real advantage in speed you get is if you equip a revolver instead of a flintlock pistol, which would give you 5 shots off before needing to reload. On normal difficulty most of the bosses were pretty easy to beat with pistols - the exception being Nadaig Frasaman, which were actually challenging battles I needed to change tactics for. The strength of the game is in it's well fleshed out and unique world and cultures. I especially appreciated the depiction of the Teer Fradee Natives and their language, which felt realistic without romanticizing indigenous cultures. I also enjoyed the depiction of the unique Bridge Alliance. Special recognition for the voice acting of the protagonist and all the characters. If you have played all the other top RPGs like Dragon Age/Mass Affect/Fall Out and want something else to fill your time, this is a good game to take up your time. Just don't expect it to be as immersive as those games.… Expand

    The fantasy world, in which it is set, is beautiful, rich, and genuinely leaves you wanting to explore more. The main plot is interesting and I did enjoy following it. Certain parts of the story will give you a choice on how to proceed, and these choices can be genuine moral dilemmas. I found these parts of the game to be the most enjoyable. Most quests, however, are linear.

    Most other aspects of the game feel underdeveloped. Combat for example, as a mage character I found you just have to dodge incoming attacks and spam a single magic attack to win easily. There are other spells in the game, but you don't need them. There's a crafting system, but I rarely had to use it and ended up with a massive unused stockpile of foraged resources in my inventory. It feels as though some of the game's features were developed in isolation and therefore integrate very poorly into the overall gameplay.

    I didn't find the characters to be particularly memorable. The player's character is exceptionally annoying. I chose to make a male character. The voice acting was dire; I found myself wishing he'd shut up every time he'd open his mouth.

    The developers made a big deal about this game having no fetch quests. This is, in the strictest sense, true. However, I don't think the developer understood why fetch quests are so hated, as this game has quests that are equally as irritating fetch quests. NPCs will tell the player's character to fetch them an item and bring it to them for no other reason than the player is the lackey of every NPC in this game. It's just lazy, unimaginative writing.    … Expand

    Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to the game. After spending two hours without any combat, and finishing a quest where I had to get the proper license for someone to sell goods, I had enough. If this was a unique story and setting, I might have gotten into it, but it seemed like a Skyrim/Witcher 3 ripoff.

    1. Infinidad de bugs medios y grandes. En misiones llega a ser desesperante la pérdida de marcadores, por no hablar de reset de personajes por perder habilidades sin razón (tener arma de fuego en el mago y no poder usarla de repente).

    2. El texto es excesivo, llegando a ser tedioso hasta decir basta. En esta línea, el sistema de reputación es caótico e incontrolable. Pierdes reputación en misiones de historia porque sí, y los romances son casi imposibles si te equivocas en alguna opción de diálogo de las 1000 misiones que hay. Casi todas las guías están equivocadas al señalar que para tener romances solo hay que cumplir sus misiones personales y contestar ciertas cosas en las opciones de diálogo/romance. Esto es falso, pues no se puede fallar ni una opción a lo largo del juego. De hecho, la opción de diálogo/romance ni aparece si te has equivocado hace 6 horas en una opción. Por eso tan poca gente tiene el platino.

    3. El combate desespera al poco tiempo. Mismos enemigos una y otra vez. Como no puedes huir, pues te lo comes con patatas.

    4. El sistema de crafteo y equipo está totalmente desperdiciado. A partir de un punto ningún objeto tiene mayor interés y la sensación de mejora se acaba en el primer 1/3 de juego.

    5. Las misiones secundarias acaban siendo recaditos irritantes. Paseos de un lado a otro que desesperan y hay un montón. Ni siquiera hay un minimapa lo cual hace todo esto más engorroso todavía. En muchas misiones aparecen como fallidos objetivos intermedios por haberlos realizado en un orden u otro sin existir ninguna lógica para ello.

    6. El único apartado que se salva es la ambientación, música y escenarios. Realmente espectaculares para un juego que no es un AAA.

    I played on hard looking for a challenge and tried to take my time to enjoy the game but after a few hours, I couldn't shake the feeling that everything was really generic and that the gameplay really lacked the depth you usually find in a rpg. Skill tree / Gears / Crafting...etc they are all underdeveloped. Combat is not bad per se but balance is a little bit broken. e.g. Stasis - a magikal power you get early - was really OP even though I invested very few points in magic. Bestiary is poor and you will fight the same mob (with level scaling) all game long. You'll even have to fight some bosses twice.

    The semi open world Greedfall offers is the worst aspect of the game. The devs have reused the same building / tree / rock everywhere making every place look very similar. The choice of a limited color palette didn't help. Of course, there are invisible walls everywhere and your character can't even jump over a fence or swim across a small river. Thus going from point A to point B is a chore and i found myself overerusing the map and the fast travel option.

    On the positive side, the lore and the story are good and there are multiple ending depending on your choices in the main quests.    … Expand

However, I really really wanted to love this game. I am an avid lover of RPGs with a historic/magical focus. The main problem I had with this game is that despite an interesting looking world and potentially interesting faction mechanic (I didn't explore it in much depth) this feels like an RPG that belongs to the pre-Witcher 3 and Skyrim world and would have been a great game....a few years ago. The main element that bugged me was the mechanic for traversing the world - moving from region to region (the ones I explored were quite small) involves travelling through an odd loading process (a camp in the middle of a 'road'). This made exploring the world feel laboured and disjointed. In a game industry where the likes of the Witcher, God of War etc have created almost seamless transitions around the world this made the game feel outdated by a long way. It was something being used for the Fable series, where it worked because the last Fable game was released in 2010. I fully appreciate it is not a AAA game so lacks the budget of other titles i have mentioned, but it still feels like a game that would have shined a few years ago.… Expand

    Figure I write this review since the next gen updates are out now. I played this on the ps4, but it's clear this game didn't have the budget of a AAA game, as of course this was produced by a smaller developer. However, there's enough positive features to make it worthwhile and do a playthrough. I'll go over the pros/cons in this review

    Pros -The main characters are well written and    Figure I write this review since the next gen updates are out now. I played this on the ps4, but it's clear this game didn't have the budget of a AAA game, as of course this was produced by a smaller developer. However, there's enough positive features to make it worthwhile and do a playthrough. I'll go over the pros/cons in this review

    Pros
    -The main characters are well written and have distinct personalities. Having to choose from multiple characters to have in your party spices up the combat in this game. Having multiple options in dialogue choices can lead to some interesting remarks or sequences. The roleplaying element is well done and makes you care about the story.
    -For a lower budget game, I think the customization of your character is actually quite good! I really felt like the character I created fit the voice quite well
    -Your character is a representative of the merchant congregation, so the dialogue choices makes you really feel like your representing them and serving their interests, but also your own at times, and it feels genuine as you have to interact with other factions.
    -The combat is solid and flows quite well, but can get somewhat repetitive. Still looks cool
    -Systems to level up your character are intuitive and it's nice to unlock spells/abilities
    -Good variety of main quests and side quests, and most of the side quests that you do decide to complete don't feel like a waste of time.

    Cons
    -clear that with limited budget, they really reused some assets, which makes the different areas feel very bland and uninspired after awhile
    -first boss fight is very annoying and feels cheap. doesn't reflect difficulty for the rest of the game
    - the game isn't a true open world adventure, instead it's like sections, thus meaning more load times and waiting screens. this takes away from some of the immersion and makes the map which looks huge seem a lot smaller.
    -sometimes if you run into an enemy that's way too high of a level you can get one-shotted, this doesn't happen often but it's odd when you run into this
    -some features of the game I don't feel were explained that well, and generally didn't bother with the crafting system. It's really not needed other than like making potions.
    -sometimes the different factions seem very unreasonable in their actions and like no matter what you do they may still dislike you or it becomes very annoying to interact with them. I don't want to go into a lot of detail as that can get into spoilers, but it got to the point where I tried to avoid the faction/group unless absolutely needed for the main quests
    -game can absolutely feel very clunky at times

    To recap, this game offers a lot of roleplaying through various quests that are well written and characters that are very well written. This makes up for the reusing of assets, bland colors for the level design, and clumsiness at times when exploring. The game is definitely worth a playthrough just because of the characters! I had fun playing this game and you can easily get 30-40hrs of gameplay. It's a solid 7/10.    … 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.

    GreedFall won’t win over those who can’t stand certain gameplay half-measures and lack of polish but those who are not opposed to playing budget games should enjoy it just fine. [12/2019, p.44]

    Even though it resembles other WRPGs that came before it, GreedFall is a solid gaming experience for those wanting a choice-heavy narrative.
