    Jogo terrível, cópia absolutamente piorada de God of War de 2018 e Dark Souls, carisma zero, repetitivo ao extremo, cansa após 15 minutos de gameplay.

    No Map button, No mini Map. For this type of game, that's a decrease in like 5-6 points straight away. it's like the developers have never played a video game before.

    They don't present the story very well, so be prepared to play for 8 hours and still not understand what the hell is going on with that.

    They don't present the story very well, so be prepared to play for 8 hours and still not understand what the hell is going on with that. It's badly explained, badly put forward and even by reading the codex information it's as if they heard a story then tried to replicate it but missed the best parts. Imagine being told about back to the future without the delorean, marty or doc. There is no excitement, no motivation bar raising stats and fighting the same things with slightly higher stats. I mean gaming is all about this but... never quite so in your face obvious as this. it drains any hope you have for next generation gaming.

    The game is pretty to look at, and it's very linear... i mean i'd tell you to explore but with the lack of map button (i mean seriously) you might end up getting lost and going in circles and it's just repetitive **** anyway (as pretty as it is, it's all just copy n paste with maybe different colours for different realms). The maps aren't even well thought out which is why there isn't a map button, the disappointment then would be much more real.

    Game throws a lot at you without really explaining anything, it'll tell you about spirit tethers and rubbish but not show you what one looks like.. so there's guesswork and hitting stuff involved at the beginning (honestly the tutorial and starting missions afterwards are badly thought out and will put you off the story part of the game anyway).

    You kill things (maybe like what 20 different enemy types which are then repeated with slightly different colours of textures). Hack and slash. Then loot 99% of useless junk, and one upgrade out of a 100 things. Then continue. It's not fun. it's not enjoyable, and it'll just waste away your life. Do anything else but play this.

    There's different armours to craft but that means grinding the mats to make them, and they're not all that different. in this game like destiny you'd have thought they'd make them a little more original and standalone with maybe classes (like tank, dps... or even paladin, mage etc) but really bar maybe a couple of things they all play and perform the same way)

    expect a lot of disappointment with this game and if you got just the PS Plus edition you'll only know disappointment. DO NOT upgrade to the story content, you aren't missing anything.... there is no real game.. it's JUST terrible. ALL Over.

    It had potential. HAD being the operative word. If anthem was never released. THIS would be the anthem. I'm sure the developer thanks the gods that anthem exists or this would have surpassed it in terms of quality, scale and terrible gameplay.

    there is nothing redeemable here. nothing at all. it's not even open world, welcome to instanced 1999 rubbish even with all the tech available, it's basically just a drip fed game that has so few stuff in it, it's all just copy n paste with maybe slight different variations of the same stuff with different stats. This makes mobile micro transaction games blush.    … Expand

    The good:
    A new IP in a new generation of Playstation
    The bad: Repetitive game and lacking in personality, beyond the Blink-Blink of armor. The saturation of the glow effect will cause you to leave the game. It seemed like a Soul Like or a Hack and Slash but neither of the two genres does it well. Bad copy that takes the worst elements from God of War (2018), Kingdom under Fire:    The good:

It seemed like a Soul Like or a Hack and Slash but neither of the two genres does it well. Bad copy that takes the worst elements from God of War (2018), Kingdom under Fire: Circle of Doom and Too Human. Protagonists without personality, enemies without more personality if necessary. The story is a cliché of the gods and the war of good goes evil and… zzzz (boring)

    The Meh!:
    All the Hype has dissipated, this game is not good, not even to get the trophies, not even for the new generation, so you can save your money to buy another game. The magical SSD of the PS5 is a lie, this game will be released on the Xbox Series, please gentlemen of the press, do not invent ridiculous things. The nightmare of the photosensitive.    … Expand

    I wasted 25 bucks to buy an used copy of this trash game. One the most boring and repetitive game i've played in the last decade. Also spamming L3 to run every 10 seconds is not good aswell, it's obnoxious. Repetitive, repetitive repetitive. And the plot is weak as hell. Stay away from it.

    For a game that boasts flashy affects, a semi good story, and a feel of the game after just an hour, that's all you get. There is hope for the story but the gameplay is very repetitive. When it comes to the loot that you want, you have to spend hours grinding for the piece of equipment that you want and once you finally get it, you'd be lucky to get one with decent stats for your current level.

    I really wanted to love this game, I really did. The graphics look amazing but that's the only praise I can sing for it. There just isn't really much story here to grab hold of and that wouldn't normally be an issue if the gameplay was good, but even then the gameplay is just mindless slashing without much going for it. It's just either fetch quests or boss fights. I'm grasping at straw asI really wanted to love this game, I really did. The graphics look amazing but that's the only praise I can sing for it.

    The game was already not excelling at all at what it has to offer, but Sony decided to make it worse by only giving PS+ users a lite version that doesn’t make sense at all. Sometimes I really do not get it! Not a big loss anyway, I was already starting to feel bored at the end of the tutorial.

    To me godfall is the definitive meh game.
    It's not bad but not good either, combat is alright but nothing special(and a little confusing at first trying aim using a cross-hair in a strictly melee focused game) , and the cut-scenes somehow come off as ridiculous and overly serious at the same time.
    Like I said it's not a bad game but I also wouldn't recommend playing it.

    This is free for PS plus, but it's a scam. They have the story locked so you can't play without purchasing. Scamming PS plus members. Thanks for allowing this Sony. Only part of the game is free and no one plays the end game.

    I got it on ps for free and I still want a refund,
    If ya want a looter, play destiny, if ya want hack’n slash play Devil may cry, if ya want souls like, Bloodborne dark souls or hell even the other ps plus free mortal shell is better then this half baked over priced style over substance gacha waste of time

    Игру можно считать на текущий момент неким техно демо игрой, которая хорошо реализовала работу dualsense, графику, но не смогла в интерес и удержание.

    I think it's scummy to release a special demo version of the game on PlayStation plus. Just based upon the "challenger edition", the game isn't very good.

    So the godfall challenger edition is on ps plus for dec and it is a seriously cut down version which apparently doesnt have the full campaign mode. Which GB make you pay £40 for. For which I give it a zero out of ten.

    The truth is I wasted my time testing the incomplete ps plus game. It is a very bad game, that from the beginning you ignore the story, game mechanics poorly made, repetitive, repetitive soundtrack, it is a trial version.

    Shameful practice to cut the game down to a demo of the endgame for ps+. I was actually interested in trying this out (thinking I would get the full version of the game), now I just want to actively avoid anything this company ever puts out in the future.

    What kind of BS is this. How can you create a stripped down version of a game to give to paying customers of ps+ then make them pay in order to play the full game.

    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.
