The story is basic and it never feels like you "progress" through the game. The game is the exact same from start to finish. The only things I like about the game is the combat and graphics. It's an actual insult to put a $60 price tag on this. If you want an actual "looter-slasher" which in reality is just an ARPG, play warframe, destiny 2, games like that.
    (edit): I had to change the game's score down. after examining the dialogue a bit, it's terrible. There's barely any reason why you should like any of the characters. their personality is so plain it makes the west siberian plain look like a lush forest with rivers flowing everywhere. There's no drive to push the player forward to want to stop Orin's brother. All they do is say "he will be a god... you must stop him" and nothing else. don't get me wrong, the graphics look amazing, but it doesn't fill the void that is the repetitive maps with similar enemies. At first when I read reviews for the game I thought "oh, repetitive combat? i'm fine with that" but the combat actually is nothing but a cardboard box with only a sheet of paper in it saying "f*ck you". the game is the same from start to finish and it never feels like you actually get better. Godfall is exactly like Anthem but with a thin coat of paint, barely covering all of the damage done.    … Expand

    TLDR: About 70% of this game is just copy and pasted over and over again and Devs said it was on purpose and as intended. The devs put out an FAQ and had to say "Yes this is what the finished product is supposed to be." I feel like that alone should speak for itself. If you really really want to play a game like this then just go play Darksiders 2.

If you really really want to play a game like this then just go play Darksiders 2.

    Also the people trying to say that "Looter genre games are just like that" are impressionable morons that have no idea what they're talking about. (Looter shooter/slasher is just a **** marketing term for console kiddies, They are called ARPGS and have been called that for literally almost 3 decades)

    This game is just taking God of War Ps4 and mashing it with Destiny and it does so in such a lazy and cheap manor that the game comes off as early access. The 10/10 user review saying this game is polished and has very few bugs is just straight up lying, Sometimes when you fail a mission in multiplayer on hard mode the game only kicks out 2/3 party members and then is in a limbo stat where you are just stuck in the level. Sometimes you get locked out of interactables because you and your friend tried to open the same chest so you have restart the level. Sometimes the game spawns enemies in a wall so you cant progess and have to restart an entire level. Sometimes the DRM services just decides to end your game session. Sometimes you just CANT LIGHT ATTACK AND HAVE TO SWITCH EQUIPMENT OR DIE. The game isn't polished and because I shouldnt have experienced this much **** within a 12 hour play period for a "AAA" $60 release. Which brings me to how shallow and little content there is in this SIXTY/SEVENTY DOLLAR VIDEO GAME RELEASE.

    Despite there being like 12 "Classes" to pick from there are only 2 abilities in the entire game, Summon 3 NPC's or do an AOE. This legitimately seems like they ran out of time to actually implement unique mechanics or ran out of budget but apparently the devs said that this is how the game was intended to be released. Neither of these have unique animations and they are copy and pasted on to every Class with superficial differences like "deals earth damage" but there's no actual difference between earth, fire, and water damage other than its one is green, one is red, and one is blue. For an ARPG there are like no stats to even min max with other than ATTACK DMG(Might) or MAGIC DMG(Spirit), but MAGIC is so ineffective and tedious to use (you cant cancel into a magic attack, you have to stop what you are doing entirely and then charge up the attack/Pull out your shield and then attack. So that leaves us with just basic attacking for almost the entirety of the game, which would be cool if there were more than 4 weapons all with almost the same exact moves. No directional specific moves like monster hunter, oh and also you can't hit an enemy weakpoint if you are locked on to the person you're fighting. So it makes the either the lock on or the weakpoint system an after thought. You also cant modify your special attacks in any way shape or form beyond, DO %50 MORE DAMAGE. No attack speed buff, no adding projectiles to swings(Might be a level 50 legendary that does that but I tapped out at level 43), no nothing.

    Now the apologist are gonna start saying, "Well this is an indie game that had help from gearbox, got an Epic Games Store and Sony exclusivity buy out doesnt have the money or manpower to make cold damage slow an enemy or to make a even 3rd unique ability." (Funny enough because they already have DLC planned when entire game systems need redesigned) Which is when I point out a little game that came out last year called Remnant. At a nice $40 price tag, Remnant was able to make a game with more worlds and environments than Godfall, make more bosses and mini bosses than Godfall. Make more abilites than, More unique passives for armor sets (Every classes in godfall is passive is literally %10 chance to inflict a DOT or %10 buff to some redundant mechanic) There were able to implement more character passives, more unique weapons, they just did more everything for less.

    Final thoughts: Combat is serviceable but you dont pay AAA pricetag for things to be serviceable, you pay because you want a specific level of content and quality and the game is severely lacking on both of those fronts.There is a foundation for a decent game that can be its own fun little thing but it I can see this being abandon ware withing a couple months/year or two and then shutting down their servers and **** over everyone that paid for it, oh yeah theres DRM and no matchmaking/no intention of adding matchmaking by the way. So consider how long you can see a game like this staying alive and keeping its servers up if you are considering buying this too.

    Is the game worth $70/$60? No, It has the content of a like $5 mobile game.

    Is the game worth it on sale in the future? No, because the devs said that they dont plan on improving upon the game.    … Expand

    The combat is tedious and clunky, the loot is boring, there are only three areas in the game and they all play the same. There is no mission variety, in fact when free roaming any world all you do is activate a beacon that leads to 3 garbage puzzles and once you finish them, the game doesn't give you anything else to do except warp back to the main hub so you can reload to the same area to do the same thing again for little reward.

    At the the time of this review there are several major bugs that make the game unplayable. These vary from not letting you attack enemies, to not being able to open chests and collect resources to being permanently unable to complete the free roam beacons.

    There is some potential here and with a lot of work, this could be a decent game. At present this game is not ready for prime time and was rushed to release. Avoid.    … Expand

But there is no story, the combat also is not really rewarding and the Missions are poorly designed and repetitive. The Missions often are go there and kill this guy and over time they really got repetitive and boring. Its a shame that in such a beautiful world there is literally no Story. Oh god, now the combat, IM GOING INTO AN ANGRY RANT! WHY THE HELL IS THERE A DOT SYSTEM?WHY IS PARRY SO POORLY DESIGNED? It is also really f*cking Grindy!!!

They were so lazy they didn’t take tutorials out when doing crystal missions. This game is like Anthem, Diablo, Warframe, and Destiny all combined except a horrible version of them. The story is about exactly what the games title is. A god was dethroned and is climbing his way back up for revenge. Their is barely any substance throughout the game upon completing missions. Some beautiful cut scenes with lore would’ve saved this game for sure. The few scenes I’ve seen are beautiful and they should’ve capitalized on that. They put a bunch of readable lore which is super lazy. Other than that the gameplay is barely decent. Nothing ground breaking here. It’s not worth $69.99. I’m pretty upset about that price tag. I’d say this game is at best $49.99 and that’s being generous. I hope we get some free content or updates because if not this game is the biggest rip off since Anthem and it’s 10 more dollars!… Expand

The game doesn't deserve the super low ratings it's getting as it's truly not terrible. It's not perfect nor a masterpiece of any sort. If you're playing single player, expect a 7/10 experience; if you're going to enjoy multiplayer make it an 8/10. Also this is the only game I've ever played where all loot is cool. Every single weapon always looks really cool, even the commons, uncommons, rares, and epics; of course the legendaries are the coolest. It's also a game that gets better as you play. Combat can seem simple at first, but once youve started filling out the skill tree, getting god rolls on loot, and doing end game, like all the other above mentioned games: it's where the game really begins. If you have a PS5 or high end PC with some friends, pick it up and just have some fun watching all the cool sparklies. Gameplay is like Warframe meets God of War meets Diablo and easily a game you can sink many hours into.… Expand

    A fun looter-slasher game (not many titles to compare to but it's fun nonetheless). The story is a bit bland and cliche, there are some minor bugs, and it could be optimized a little bit more. In the end, if you're looking for a fun hack and slash experience that combined with a loot system, this will satisfy your need.

    Firstly: I'm currently level 50 at dreamstone 52. with 31 hours 49 minutes and 25seconds played on Epic gamestore

    So the good -

    combat and the ideas involved are good, however still a bit clunky and the inputs can sometimes not register, no attack cancel so combat could be more fluid but thats a style choice and easy to get used to it.

    Loot is very good and well flushed out and there are some very good builds

    The design and look of the game is amazing, but it after a few hours becomes clear its visuals over substance.

    The bad - Oh there is so much that I'm not exactly sure where to start.

    Valor plates, are basically skins, all dots do the same thing, be it fire, water, void damage or poison, there is no real difference between them, All valor plates seem obsolite when you get the final valor plate and a crit heavy build seems to be the meta. This may change but for now, the Valorplates feel exactly the same.

    Optimisation: major frame rate drops - I'm currently on a 2070 super and I7 9700k having major drops in frames, odd crashs for no reason, Missions incompletable, bosses become non responsive.

    Even small things like animations you notice are copy/pasted - door opening/button pressing animation is the same as the chest opening animation so you randomly kneel down when opening a door. Just doesnt look visually correct. Need an elevator or want to go up or down one, get on your knees please, just doesnt make sense.

    There is no difference between hard and easy setting in regards to loot drops, the difference in difficult is quite surprising but there is no reason for hard difficulty unless you want a challange. I did like completing the story in hard, but you lack any reward for it.

    After completing the story, which is very basic in its implementation you are left feeling very unfullfilled.

    Visual customisation - there is no unlockable skins in the game for your plates, other than the ones you get for pre-order or Collectors editions.

    End game combat, specially bosses, just become spam machines, you spend more time dodging at range unable to get closer due to aoe on floor etc. The are doable mind you, but not fun. see Zamora Exalted, Solaris Exalted and Lunara exalted for example.

    Hunts have bonus objectives but again there is no bonus loot, you end up just running to the end boss, rinse and repeat.

    I was so hopeful for this game, to fill the void after 1000 hours in Monster hunter world/iceborne and Sekiro. It's a pitty honestly, game is beautiful but the substance is severely lacking.

    Honestly wait till a sale for this game if you are interested, or completely avoid until DLC or updates provide a better gaming experience as a whole    … Expand

    A few bugs here and there, but the most annoying I find the healing orbs bug when even if you pick a healing orb it doesn't heal you at all and it happens like a lot.
    There are only 3 maps where you do all the missions and most of the time you must the same mission to unlock a new one. Recycled content 99%. Even the dreamstone missions are recycled missions. It does have nice armour suits.
    I am used to play games based on looting like The Division games, Destiny 2, Black Desert, Bloodborne, Blade and Soul etc...but this game I put it near Anthem...

I have yet to arrive to the endgame, but so far I am very surprised by the bad reviews, as the game in its current state (April 21) does not deserve that at all, I am really having a lot of fun.

    This is the hack and slash game I've been waiting for. The combat is similar to God of War (2018) but faster and smoother. And the graphics are gorgeous. And the game is actually fair and not punishing at all.

    GODFALL Review: 7/10
    Visually stunning, intuitive, fun and satisfying combat system that sins from some repetition. Props to the co-op mode and absence of microtransactions. The story it's interesting and, just as the character development /upgrade system, is the main reasons to keep going.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After reading other reviews, was going to skip. Very glad I didn't. The entire, very short campaign is an extended tutorial and the game doesn't start until "endgame content". I feel like most reviews don't appreciate this at all. At endgame, combat, loot and progression systems are all excellent. The haptic feedback in combat is superb, as are graphics. Think vanilla Destiny, pre raid, and you've got close to the vibe. Smash through the campaign in a day then hook up with friends for destiny meets Diablo 3 meets dark souls (combat has some dark souls vibes because of the lack of animation cancelling).… Expand

    Really fun looter don't expect an epic story it's kind of like borderlands 3 lackluster story but awesome looting trying to find that next awesome weapon. Biggest gripe I have with the game is that it stutters after playing for a couple hours definitely need to fix that. Also if they added more cosmetics you find in-game they would have a solid game.

    is it worth 60? no not at all, is it incredibly fun? yes! the combat and loot/min max experience feels really good and overall it seems very polished in the loot/combat department. How can the game be improved? idk but the game is missing something, idk what it is but when you play you will notice that it just doesn't feel full

The different armors in this game (Valorplates) looks very different from each other so you'd expect them to behave very differently... sadly no, in reality they're pretty much the same except the looks.. the different damage types are pretty much just your uninteresting damage over time... bascially every dmg type is pretty much the same but looks different.

    I paid a premium to play a game that made use of ps5's feature such as haptic feedback etc. This game delivered exactly 0% of that and while it remains that way my score will not improve. It is a lazy ps5 port with zero effort beyond unreal's automatic button assignment. I am massively disappointed by it.

I didn't care to finish the story, but I felt compelled to having purchased the game for $125AUD (ridiculously overpriced). The dialogue was lame and cliche, and the voice acting fell flat (likely due to poor directing rather than the actors talent).

    The graphics were nice, but the game sufferered frequent frame rate drops regardless of playing on fidelity or performance modes.

    The valorplate and weapon designs were aesthetically impressive and unique, but had negligible functional differences, so there was no real incentive for obtaining them aside from collecting them.

    The different realms looked cool, but we're functionally all the same, and the extent of exploration involved running through corridors collecting things conveniently placed seemingly everywhere, so there was never a challenge to obtain resources. Also where was the fire realm?!?!

    Over the course of the short campaign the game crashed 4 times, and bugged out a few other times resulting in missions needing to be abandoned and restarted.

    The combat was basic, clunky and unresponsive. I was constantly having to press buttons multiple times to get the corresponding action to work; e.g. shield and healing functions. Multitasking was impossible as every animation needed to completed before allowing a new action to be done; e.g. you basically had to stand still to heal, you couldn't dodge or block once commited to an attack. These issues weren't a huge deal during regular combat waves, but they made boss fights incredibly frustrating and unenjoyable experiences.

    Speaking of boss fights, these seemed to play out inconsistently. At times there was zero consequence for dieing as the battle would just resume with the boss having the same amount of health within the checkpoint, while other times the boss health would fully replenish without reason.

    Overall the game was a huge disappointment. I really wanted to like the game and I tried to keep a positive mindset toward it, but in the end I couldn't. The game has no future playability and so I'll be trading it in this weekend before it becomes worthless.    … Expand

    I can not in good conscience recommend this game in its current state. It is fundamentally broken with many game breaking bugs and glitches and it feels entirely as if it was completely gutted in the last few months before release (like what happened to the first Destiny release)

    Positive: - There are some really nice looking areas - in particular the Air realm is quite spectacular. -    I can not in good conscience recommend this game in its current state.

    Positive:
    - There are some really nice looking areas - in particular the Air realm is quite spectacular.
    - The 4 main bosses provide sufficient, unique and interesting challenges.

    Negative:
    - numerous gamebreaking bugs and glitches including; instances where you are unable to use a light attack (the trigger works in the menu, and every other attack works), instances where the mission doesn't end when it should (unable to exit to Sanctum), respawn counter that doesn't count properly (on hard mode sometimes the mission fails when you have two respawns left);
    - inability to finish the final main story mission. A glitch occurred when I was three quarters the way through the bosses health where it threw me to the credits title card and got stuck on that screen, when I restarted the game, I was back in the hub with no ability to finish the story;
    - The story feels entirely gutted, the entire game is walk to one NPC, walk to the other NPC, walk back to the first NPC, go to the hub map, start a mission kill a boss and repeat. That's it, there's no variation;
    - The Valorplates are irrelevant - there is no gameplay difference in using any of the Valorplates - except for the couple that spawn drones, and the method to obtain them is collect materials (you get a ridiculous amount in the game without hunting) walk up to the plate and unlock it. There is nothing special about these items.
    - The voice of my character changed from Male to Female with no explanation - my guess is because of the Valorplate I changed to;
    - There is NO MAP, and every area in a realm looks exactly the same. It gets incredibly easy to get lost and because there are no recognisable reference points to tell you where you are.
    - This is a primarily single player game but for whatever reason you have to be online to play. I didn't try the co-op mode because there is NO MATCHMAKING - I'm the only person in my friend group who was able to get a PS5 at launch, I can't play co-op without going to an external channel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is not much nice to say. Graphics are really good, if you like the art design. Combat system is fun but quite slow for most of the weapons types. I experienced a lot of framedrops on a 3080. Had to manually set the process to real-time priority and they were gone. That shouldn't be necessary. Also i experienced a lot of mission breaking bugs. For example being stuck on a chest or between rocks and unable to move away. Happend at least three times during the game. The lack of proper markers for side/bonusmissions is also annoying. Somestimes i searched the whole map, just to find nothing. Story, characters etc. are not even worth mentioning, very straight forward, no surprises, nothing. Easy and normal difficulties are way too easy, because there is literally no punishment for dying and infinite respawns. There should be more difficulty settings or infinite respawn just in easy mode. On top of all that the game is really short and the endgame content as boring as the rest. All in all it feels like an indie game with triple A optics.… Expand

    gameplay is pretty much what you would expect from a looter game/ARPG, grinding for new loot is fun and there is plenty of playstyles you can build with the deep skill grid. surface level combat can look simple but once you start to level up, it gets complex fast. Most footage of the game out there people are not using HALF the skills you can bring to combat, which is fast and satisfying.

    story wise, its a video game...was not expecting a great story as all the focus of the game was the gameplay, but the cinematics look nice and generally do the job as needed. Playing the rougelike unlimited tower of trials mode with 2 other friends was extremely fun as it gets harder and harder and you are forced to use all your skills to survive.

    you can play the game as a button masher if you want, but once you dive into the deeper combat systems it becomes quite skill based and alot more intense on the hard difficulty setting. I am looking forward to playing more co-op with my friends.    … Expand

You just can get infinitely interrupted or knocked down with no opportunity to stand back up occasionally. The gameplay would have to be significantly reworked for this to be considered fun.

    The loot is global drops. I am not sure why anyone would thing to do this after the great success at Anthem doing the same thing.

    It's still pretty buggy having some enemies refuse to spawn requiring you to leave the mission and restart. Once all enemies just did not attack me and just let me slowly whack away at them. If there were zero bugs however, it still is a rather poor gameplay experience.

    It should have been priced like Remnant:From the Ashes , I can agree that point. But come on this game looks fantastic and core gameplay is just great. For people who giving this a 5/10 or below: tell me a game that has combat quality closer to God of War and also looter like Diablo with a coop gameplay? There is none. This is just not for everyone.

    Bad game by a Bad company and even worse publisher. Skip it. Its medicore at best and a huge insult to the otherwise good ps5 launch lineup

    This game is everything I thought it would be and more! I personally love the looter genre and love games like Borderlands 3 and this is scratching that itch!

    The only thing Godfall has going for it is its great combat system. Everything else just came along for the ride. [01/2021, p.42]

    Godfall doesn’t do anything egregious or worse than any of the other disappointing looters of this generation, but it does almost everything equally as badly in a weird perfect balance. This is what makes it so frustrating. There is definite potential for a gem inside this game, but it’s so busy with being a downright average-at-best looter that it loses all semblance of actual personality, a key component to maintaining a looter game. Impressively non-existent story, incredibly derivative art, classes which mean absolutely nothing, a deceptively small loot pool, technical issues up the wazoo, terrible endgame design and a horrific netcode all add up to a visually pleasing but soulless affair that can’t even begin to escape being categorised as anything more than a flashy tech demo.

    After wrapping Godfall, I was left with the feeling that it’s going to be a one-and-done. I can’t see myself doing its endless trials or repeating the endgame boss fights — it just doesn’t feel like there’s anything more to work towards. The graphics are great and the combat is enjoyable, but it gets samey too quickly and ends up as a typical next-generation launch game that will be soon forgotten.
