    The bosses are fun and the difficulty is here

    This is my very first PS5 game and I really loved this game, I understand that this game is only online game which I don't like it, but I really enjoyed it. Overall I'm really looking forward to see if they add offline mode for this game.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (5) Flawed. It may be obvious that the game has lots of potential, but it’s most engaging features could be undeniably flawed or not integrated into the experience.

    Although the combat works and there are no mechanical flaws of the game, the rest of the game fails to exist. It's a empty world that you don't want to spend time in.    … Expand

    I love this game. I started following this game very early in development and while it was somewhat disapointing the updates sure made up for it. while im not a fan of the bosses or hunts vs animals i love the group fights and kind of miniboss enimies but sometime their movesets can feel unfair. Regardless this game is amazing.

    Wollte es mal kurz antesten, da mich die eher schlechten Kritiken lange abgeschreckt haben. Hatte dann aber mit der Kampagne echt meinen Spaß. Die Welten boten zwar nicht gerade Abwechslung, aber die Kämpfe haben mir Spaß gemacht. Also einen Blick wert ist es auf jeden Fall, wenn man mit Hack'n'Slay was anfangen kann.

    Looks great but anything else is not.
    Gameplay is fun but repetitive, the story is laughable. There is a conflict but the characters have the personality of a potato and the backstory.

    Godfall is an action role-playing game developed by Counterplay Games and published by Gearbox Publishing.

    + Fun Combat
    + Good Visuals
    - Not Story at all
    - Repetitive
    - Tedious and Frustating with the Loot and the Hub of Menus

    Expected a better game overall....
    Pros
    1. One of the best looking games on PS5
    2. Combat is addictive and fast paced
    3. Valorplates and weapons look amazing in my opinion
    Cons
    1. Too repetitive 2. Very grindy and boring endgame
    3. Story is non existent 4. Dying is inconsequential as there is little to no penalty

    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:

    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 had fun for a while, and found this to be an above average game.

    It did some neat things, and the worlds I found interesting for a time. I got quite a bit of fun out of this game, but near the end it got stale. And that may be on me, as I didn't have anyone else to really do the end game with, and have bad luck with random players.

    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.

    Great game.. It’s visually stunning, original story was bland, but they really put together a better story in the DLC. Good looting and leveling system. They actually give you more control over the loot you target which allows you to focus on enhancing your build piece by piece. This game reminds me of Warframe.

    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.

    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.
