    What a bad buy!

    This game doesn't even worth 10 bucks, it looked really cool at the previews and trailers and I was looking for something to fill the void after two years of playing Warframe and decided to quit. The story is non-existent, just talk to this dudet and then talk to this dude and back to map, two characters to interact with but they don't say anything meaningful, just    What a bad buy!

    This game doesn't even worth 10 bucks, it looked really cool at the previews and trailers and I was looking for something to fill the void after two years of playing Warframe and decided to quit.

    The story is non-existent, just talk to this dudet and then talk to this dude and back to map, two characters to interact with but they don't say anything meaningful, just some generic lines.
    all combat areas feel the same, all enemies feel pretty much the same and the gameplay loop is extremely repetitive and recycled, even for a looter.

    All of that would be passable if the combat was good but it sucks.
    I was amazed by how much it doesn't feel intuitive, the animations are super long and are not cancel-able, I just have to sit there while I watch the enemy throwing a punch while I can't do anything just because I decided to do a heavy attack, so frustrating and clunky, you can't even parry in the middle of an animation WTF???

    There are some cool mechanics like the soulshatter and weakpoints but when the combat feels so bad and control lacking, what's the point?

    Variety and loot is also non-existent as most of the plates have the same stats with different names but all revolve around damage per sec like bleed or chill but the play style is basically the same and I was encouraged to play with the plate I have the gear with the stat that boosts it's damage per second with no substantial depth and thought about creating cretin builds that will "feel" good or just different.

    Visually, the game looks nice, art wise, but after a while it feels like too much MSG on your food you can't even taste what's it made of anymore.

    Buying this excuse of a game was a huge mistake and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, it feels like the devs were lazy when creating it and just repeated a few elements with a different visual design, extremely disappointing.

    I gave it a 3 and not 0 just because there are some cool ideas and the skill tree is ok, but it doesn't matter when the gameplay feels so bad.

    I wish I could get a refund...

    P.S
    The game is also really buggy...    … Expand

    This game has some stellar graphics, and also pretty fluid combat mechanics. My biggest gripe is that because there is no matchmaking. The game is advertised as an online only 3 player co-op looter. The bosses are designed for 3 players. Yet there is no in game matchmaking. This makes you mostly end up playing solo which can be extra difficult for some boss fights. GAME NEEDS MATCHMAKING!!

    Don't buy it. Another example of a lazy developer putting out trash simply hyped up as a next-gen title because it shines, regardless of the game freezing every time a medium-sized enemy dies on all platforms. Sony, as disappointing as ever, desperately touting this game as the bee's knees. A pathetic example of the "justified" price hike to $70. Let us pay them MORE, to do LESS!

    AAA Cashgrab, focusing on nothing but "oh shiny, oh wow particle effects! 10/10" reviewers.

    Developers hopped on the $70 price-hike train, charging more money for less and less quality. No, your next-gen shine and particle effects leap is not worth an additional $10. Mods do the same thing for 10-year-old games free of charge.

    The game is poor quality, combat is copy-paste and boring. Maps are copy-paste with different filters (Oh Shiny, still!). Basically, it's a decorated hallway simulator.

    No campaign at all. AT ALL. Farm the same 5-minute missions (go here, kill that) 20 times to collect tokens to unlock doors (mobile game???). Open the big door a couple of times, the game is over. Oh, and you talk to two different NPC's about how bad the bad guy is every once in a while.

    It's bad guys. Really, it's pathetically bad. The fact that this was hoisted as a true next-gen AAA experience during all this time (and NOBODY at Sony realized how truly awful this was) is concerning, and a bad, bad sign for this new generation of games. Also, just goes to show that Sony doesn't actually have a single clue about what a videogame actually is.

    Avoid. Avoid. And if somebody gives it a 10/10, avoid them too. It's either an attempt to combat buyer's remorse or an employee.    … Expand

    TL;DR: If you somehow enjoyed Anthem and/or Marvel Avengers, then you definitely WON'T enjoy this. Anthem and Marvel Avengers we're mediocre quality at best but at least it had something redeemable to go with the bad qualities. This one does not have any redeemable qualities.

    This game already was so bad. And now it is even worse. With this PS Plus version of Godfall, that lacks a single player campaign. And you want ME to PAY for campaign with "Deluxe Upgrade"??? This is such a spit-in-the-face, both from SONY and Godfall dev.

    J'ai voulu tester le jeu pour avoir un avis parce qu'étant l'un des premiers AAA next gen la curiosité l'a emporté. Et je voulais savoir si les notes très moyennes sont justifiées.

    Et..... bah oui. Que de déceptions.
    Alors je vais quand même commencer par les points positifs.
    Les graphismes sont plutôt beaux et le jeu de couleur et luminosité sont bien rendu. Les décors sont plutôt bien travailler et d'ailleurs c'est pour ma part ce qu'il y a de mieux dans le jeu.
    Voilà ça s'arrête là. Pas d'autre point positif.
    Et le gros point noir c'est clairement le gameplay, qu'est ce que c'est lourd avec une sorte de sensation de crispation des persos. Et ça devient très ennuyant tellement c'est toujours pareil. Il n'y a aucune variété dans la façon de jouer.
    Concernant les contenus bah c'est quasi vide, les menus ne servent quasi à rien alors qu'il y a un coté RPG et le peu de temps que l'on passe dans les menus c'est pas du tout bien foutu, pas instinctif, pas ergonomique. Il y a quasi rien à faire sauf taper, taper, taper. A si les système de butin qui aurait pu être attrayant avec un coté prenant, mais non, on s'en moque assez vite.
    Le scénar est quasi inexistant, cherchez pas à trouver une histoire ou une narration, elle est réduit à peau de chagrin, quelques passage pour dire qu'il se passe des choses mais c'est tout. Et c'est d'un basique...
    Au niveau de l'IA alors là c'est au niveau des pâquerettes. A ce demander si ils en on une. L'IA ce limite quasi à ne faire que taper, les esquives, protections ou même changement de patern sont quasi inexistant.
    Le jeu à quelques bug. Par moment j'ai eu les menus qui se sont superposés, lors de baston des coups passer au travers de l'ennemis, j'ai eu aussi par 2 fois un ennemis qui se retrouve bloquer dans un mur et l'autre les jambes dans le sol. Très drôle d'ailleurs de le voir courir sans pouvoir bouger.
    Et dernier défaut, la fluidité. Alors là c'est pas normal pour un jeu qui est quand même assez vide. Par moment on sent vraiment la chute de fps, surtout avec les pouvoirs/combo.
    En conclusion un jeu vraiment très très très moyen. Limite décevant surtout pour un AAA.

    i will not be purchasing a game from 'Counterplay Games' again as they dont seem to care what they produce or for the end user, only lining their pockets.

    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.
