GreedFall

Praise the Enlightened Dear Reader!

Hello my dear De Sardet it is me your favorite Inquisitor Nicolai! and i would like to tell you a tale of a island, of colonialism and full of war. with a cast of intriguing characters. and if you make it through the deadly island you might be able to save our dying world...or let it die my dear De Sardet.

But before we talk about beautiful Teer Fradee, or as the Indigenous Islanders call it Tír Fradí. we should talk about the old world, our dear home Gacane. And i would like to talk about my home first...Sublime Thélème! a deeply religious nation built around the teaching of our Founder and Prophet Saint Matheus. who taught us, his people to manipulate the magic of light for the greater glory of our creator the Enlightened. Now most of my countryman would tell you that beautiful Thélème is the most perfect place in the world...but sadly this is not the case. from the extreme Ordo Luminis who considers mere politics and diplomacy as obstacles. to the subtleties of political infighting, Thélème is very much plagued with darkness like all the other nations in the old world without speaking about the Malichor.

Now we come to the Bridge Alliance or the Grand Alliance as i would like to call it. Now even though my nation is in a quasi-perpetual war against the Bridge Alliance, i will do my best to remain as unbiased as i can going forward. the Alliance was formed over To Hundred years ago in the Bridge Region, hence it's name. The Bridge is a economic and cultural powerhouse, and has a firm grip on science and progress. but much like my dear Thélème, the Bridge's finances are slowly bleeding dry thanks to our pointless war. now people from the Alliance will tell you that thanks to their amazing scholars and their focus on science and pushing the limits of knowledge has made them them into the most perfect nation on old Gacane. but thanks to them devoting an almost religious respect to science has lead these very men of reason to do...unspeakable things that would make even the more harden member of Ordo Luminis to shudder, in the name of their science.

Now onto your homeland dear De Sardet, The Congregation of Merchants, or the most Serene Congregation. the most powerfull commercial nation in the old world. they in fact have so much wealth that they can maintain neutrality between warring factions in these hard times. It is currently led by Prince d'Orsay your uncle so you already know this. your nation takes a rather dim view of warfare, or violence of any kind, seeing it as bad for business. now while i don't agree with the almost religious view on profit. i will say i admire your nation's staunch view on neutrality. sadly said neutrality does not mean pacifism...nor does it stop Intrigue, blackmail, threats, assassination, between the power hungry Merchant families.
But i think i will stop the tale for now, what? don't give me that look! you will soon see Teer Fradee for yourself! your cousin has just recently been granted the governorship of New Serene. and you as the new Legate! so i think it's better for you to finish the tale on your own. but be careful De Sardet...not only do you have to play diplomacy between two warring states, you also have to watch out for the hostile natives if you want to survive the island and uncover it's rich but dark mysteries of Tír Fradí. but if i know you, and i do. you have always loved to find your hidden gems.

I would like to give this wonderful game a perfect 10/10!

Great game. Fantastic story and lore. Could've used alot of tweaks for UI but 3/5. Should've been an option in settings for constant HUD. Free roam, so you choose how you want to do the missions. Good game all in all.

This game deserve more recognization i'm telling you the gameplay is good, the graphics are ok, i mean what do you expect of an old game tbh it's graphic is quite good for an old game. But what i like the most of the game is the story and the side quest itself is like a main quest tbh and i'm liking it. like i like how our mc such a yapper and i'm loving it unlike other game that the mc only talk in main quest and i'm serious i need more games like this like that our mc yapp more often like we aint deaf. The only cons i cant jump!

I still like seeing Spiders doing old biowarelike rpgs even though they do not have the same level of content, depth or polish. Greedfall is no exception. Within its capabilities, story is the biggest force to get you play. It is based on politics and immensely influenced by colonization era, bringing it to a fantasy a setting.
However i cant say the same praise for the writing as it is quite simplistic.
As for Rpg elements, it's there but not genre bending; enough to pair with story.
I don't think classes and build variety guarantees a couple of reruns thus for most of us it would be a one-run game.
In the end, it is a game i can recommended for any rpg fans with its engaging story and fun gameplay.

I've very much enjoyed the story, and this game is beautiful. The combat is interesting. All in all, this is a very good game

GAME WON'T LAUNCH!!!!

I had to click the play now button like 50 times so playing time record reached 1 min and I could write a review.

The game won't start, I read some discussion and forums and it seems to be a problem with the drivers, tried them but none worked so you should check whether the game will launch on your computer before buying.

I don't know who to believe, this is the third game that I buy from Spiders developer that come with bugs: Bound by Flame, Of Orcs and Men and Greedfall.

Yet, this is the only game in my library that doesn't even launch. I noticed it says 1.6 h. Of playing time but I couldn't see past the Focus logo screen.

Terrible PC port with horrible controls that you cannot move because after you bind actions to different keys they go back to the original keybind.

If you love playing PC games with a controller, this one is for you! For me, refund.

Steam really needs to start listing games as requiring a controller.

I wish I could thumb this up but I cannot. I love the setting and aesthetics (world, weapons, armour, cities, houses, buildings, interior designs, etc), and the combat is great. But I can't get past two points:

- no freedom of choice: all quests lead to one outcome. you cannot choose who to support and who to go against. for example, you cannot go against the natives
- the main character is insufferable and most characters are really badly written. they are soulless and generic and offer poor personalities and conversations

this is simply my opinion. i think it's a well crafted game despite it being eurojank, but i cannot say i like it.

Its The alternative for "Avatar" franchise i found. Similar plot; People go to someone else's home, impose "laws" by force and try to turn everything upside down out of their greed. There are no extraterrestrial races here, which makes it more "at home" but it keeps mystical vibe at the same time. There's a shadow of historical value, since colonialism was a thing, but its mixed with fantasy and that gives this game its own unique flavor, especially since it works. Its a remarkable background overall.

And yet this game is a failure for it dares to sit somewhere on AA shelf when it could easily wiped AAA category clean, if only was treated properly during development phase. Im positive of it!

The biggest issue with this game are main character and dynamics. MCs defined as emissary of certain faction and bind by that role to the letter, manoeuvering in political spheres and diplomacy when world is on fire. There is no way to play something different other than a "Legate of" a certain group. We are exploring but not learning fast enough. No amount of experiences can change the course of action. Its a tide that player is swept with to the very end. I felt anger so many times when situation was unfolding before my very eyes and there was no choice to shape it in any way. For example when MCs gun came up from literally nowhere to deal a death blow i haven't asked for. Or when a man was being murdered and my character turned a blind eye when she should act. Or when assassin was preparing himself to shoot and there was no option to intervene. To speak by all means, not to get outdone by helplessness... This game demanded interruption-system implemented - same mechanic one can find in "Mass Effect" series. Being late so many times, needles deaths, pointless skills and scripted decisions - i hated all that. Bringing death wherever i went. I felt shame. And so many times... That's also a proof that story of "Greedfall" is great, immersion worthy.

Wanted to give it a red mark for the lack of choice when it mattered and which could define me - a player, but i was also patient and reached everywhere that mattered. And finally i got it and game rewarded my efforts with ending that made me smile. And for that i can only recommend it, hoping that next parts of this series will be even better. Beyond that short review im leaving a list of rough observations.

- Game looks and sounds lovely. Especially music is worth a praise.
- Awful optimization. Ultra settings can cause severe loss of frames even on powerful platforms.
- Sloppy coding; Game files bloated, illegible with certain mechanics hidden.
- To play this on linux one needs right proton version. Most causes crashes, some allow to play with occasional freezes (menus & while using overlays). Right version allows for stable gameplay - 9.x or experimental.
- Many small bugs of lesser importance.

- It's not open world game but rather a bunch of cells of different sizes. There's a lot for the eyes but only so much to touch.
- Omnipotent map; information displayed before actually visiting locations.
- Fast travel supplemented with fires that player can turn into network of camps.
- Every journey's halted by a merchant's camp. Game's using that to load next map and also allows player to organize equipment and deal with available companions.
- Time feature, day & night cycle. Many quests are bound to specific time.
- All cities are new and under construction, especially the one affiliated with MC; it does not change for the entire course of the game. Every town is drowning with randomly scattered materials.
- Many locations (especially buildings) were just copy-pasted.
- Quests of different categories may have impact on each other.
- Most quests require constant backtracking.
- Different cities share the same arena, which is based on fighting "beasts".

- Most npcs are fillers. Roaming around even in the middle of a night.
- Ambush-type events looped; each place and time is the same.
- Some dialogues can be misaligned; carry content without context if person deviates from designed questline and do some exploring.
- Npcs ruled by skills; can wear absolute worst equipment but deal tremendous dmg, all that when player needs top equipment to survive.
- Great characters and voice acting.

- Forced companions; outside of tutorial one must always have two around.
- Looped companions remarks during combat; constant nagging about using potions.

- Romance feature presented in a form of a quest; Each individual have a few problems to solve. Overall its balanced with a size of a game and feel very acceptable. Would love way more though.

- Very interesting idea for creation menu albeit it shows default char. a bit too fast; it should happen exactly when sliders become available, not before.
- Not enough customization options to choose from.
- MC does not entirely fit its initial standing (high-born). Forced grinding for levels to compensate for that.
- Typical jumping impossible to balance worlds design.
- MC needs perks to scale/pass certain obstacles.
- Invisible walls everywhere. Some of those force pointless bloodshed.

- Limited lvl-up points. Progression capped at 46th level; no points after that. No way of getting all the options from lvl-up menu.
- Too much talents needed for the amount of points allowed and how much progress has been made.
- Respec. feature built-in in a form of a special and very rare crystal.

- Dynamic music serves as warning.
- Combat tutorial rigged; Forced potion usage (quest).
- Combat utilizes very fast and invasive form of anims. in which attacks are glued to the target, almost instant and automatic. One needs to time attacking, parrying & dodging.
- There are times when player cannot inflict any damage to the enemy in any way. Usually affiliated with a metallic sound beforehand.
- Skills that just adds more damage without much sense.
- Shooting completely overpowered.
- Combat lacks any technique; drowning npcs with attacks, especially when it comes to guns & magic.
- Player's fast attacks can be easily override by enemy's slow attacks. There are times when attack animation is being cancelled mid-way "just because".
- Combat animations too fast; Actors (hum-) are way too fast which brings total chaos especially when dealing with groups in narrow spaces. No friendly fire in result.
- Interaction with environment disabled during combat; Forcing killing for progress.
- Dialogue can override combat behaviour; If detected while conversing, enemy may patiently wait.

- Stealth not balanced; Npcs either ignore obvious tailing, light sources, being trampled on.. or detect everything in certain range. Sneaking only takes MC into account; Companions (temporary as well) are invisible to detection.
- Npcs usually patrolling narrow passages in a way that makes stealth ineffective.
- Stealth-insta-kills reduced to pushing button.
- Npcs not reacting to lockpicking and stealing.
- Lockpicking reduced to pushing button if needed skill level is unlocked.

- Mining replaced with gathering.
- Quick-time events override any progress one could achieve during gameplay; No sense of accomplishment because of that.
- Transporting service seems out of place.

- Gold coins as a main currency and can be found everywhere, usually sitting in wooden boxes.
- Shot & toxic economy; gold has no weight. No silver or bronze. Shopkeep wants several dozen coins for dirty shirt. Will pay half of that for overpowered legendary cuirass though. Perks cannot cancel this price margin.
- Some containers respawning in major cities and villages.

- Crafting only allows to tamper with modifications.
- Alchemy simplified.
- Many different sorting options in menu.
- Equipment menu splitted and tedious. One must always have something on them.
- Equipment divided by quality ranks (grey > green > blue > purple > gold), from 0 to 100.
- Many legendary (gold) items aren't upgradeable and "weaker" stat-wise against purple-level equipment.

Only about 12% of players made it to the ending, that alone should say enough.

The game is good but the experience is not. Regardless of how great of an accomplishment this game is for a small indie studio, you should not be blind to the shortcomings of the game, so don't treat the devs like kids.

• If you kill some faction NPCs, they stay dead in that area, meaning if you happen to have to do a stealth mission in that same area a few days later, the quest giver is going to say you killed people even if you didn't.
  
• Apparently climbing rock walls, jumping, keeping balance to cross certain obstacles AND EVEN JUST SQUEEZING THROUGH SMALL CREVICES is locked behind talent points, meanwhile our MC can by default climb certain walls no problem? Makes zero sense
  
• The combat feels very janky and some hitboxes are completely off. Once you get used to the jank, it's passable.
  
• The level layouts are hot garbage - houses are designed like caves/dungeons, outside areas are treated more like mazes. This game seriously needed a minimap and not a compass.
  
• The facial animations and lip-syncing leave a lot to be desired.
  
• Serious lack of actual choices: the game has a moral code it wants you to follow and it will not let you do anything it may deem evil or unjust.
  
• Ending is basically a choice between an obviously correct choice and an obviously bad/evil choice (which is totally off-beat for our MC since they're never really allowed to make evil choices).
  
• Random placement of invisible walls, some are really outrageous (one good example during the intro).
  
• The towns are all lifeless copy pastes with no unique feeling to any of them.
  
• There are random loot boxes everywhere in the cities, box after box filled with garbage, all for no reason.
  
• 90% of gameplay is holding W and LSHIFT (go from point A to point B, to point A, to point C, to point A, etc - copy paste throughout the whole game).
  
• Romance? You best forget about that one, buddy. If you make even one choice that you may not even know your companion will disagree with in your dialogues with them (which by the way are insanely infrequent and limited) you will be locked out without even knowing.
  
• Everything has a really fat hitbox, so you are going to get stuck on random stuff on the ground occasionally, but sometimes NPCs can totally block you within a smaller space and prevent you from moving.
  
• Related to the previous point is that when you have to follow an NPC leading you somewhere, that NPC is extra prone to getting stuck in place or running into a rock or a wall. Good old "In the name of science" quest line is the worst offender here.
  
• "Side quests" aren't really side quests because a chunk of them is not optional. A portion of them is effectively mandatory to progress main questline towards the end.
  
[*]Exploration may be encouraged but is not always possible - you can't go anywhere you want, because either there will be an obstacle you have no idea how to get rid of, or NPCs will turn you away without you being able to sneak past, fight them or talk to them (proximity cutscene jail, a true classic in this game). That alone really hinders the open world aspect, because it's not really an open world then.

I had low expectations going into Greedfall for some reason, but I was pleasantly surprised. Actually, I think I love this game. It's a tight RPG experience, in which every side-quest matters for the main story and adds to it. At just 50h for a completionist playthrough, the game offers well-written dialogue and story, great world-building, and interesting companions. There is also plenty that the game leaves you thinking about even after.

I finished Greedfall today and I enjoyed it, hence the positive review. I enjoyed the adventure, artwork, dialogue, hard choices, music and story. The setting evokes the colonial era albeit somewhere else in the multiverse, suffering from an incurable plague that is thought to originate from a newly discovered large island continent. Your are a legate (diplomat) of the most powerful nation of the old continent sent to investigate the origin of the plague, find a cure and keep the various factions from killing each other.
I found the game relaxing and pleasant and immersive.

But the reviews do not tell you everything. Here are a few things to reflect upon before you buy.

35% of players fail the first act and never get to the island because they cannot overcome the first boss fight
35% of players kill the easiest boss on the island
15% of players finish the game story to the ending. (Different endings depending on player choices)

This game was originally made for consoles. I saw a video on Youtube of a similar game made by the same company (Technomancer) on console by a skilled player with a controller, where the combat was fluid. This is not the case for Greedfall. The combat is clunky and awkward on mouse and keyboard. I spammed the pause button liberally during combat because the mouse and keyboard bindings were awkward to use and I had poor control of my character.

I used magic, firearms, bombs and traps, not melee, because you need perfect character control for that. Most battles involve fast mobs swarming your party in melee range, knocking you down and crowd control is limited. There is quite a contrast with games such as Skyrim, Warframe, Borderlands, Dishonored, Dragon's dogma, Fallout, Destiny, that allow for fluid combat with M+K and combos of melee and ranged.

There is a good chance an average player will enjoy the adventure, story, atmosphere, events, music, environment and moral, ethical, philosophical topics evoked in the story.

Sweaty Dark Souls masters, and crybabies will probably find the game too easy or too hard respectively. There is hope for the rest of us.

I am not a fan of Souls like games, I was not aware that this dragon age ripoff had souls combat. dont like getting merked by the first mob in the game hardcore...

This games mechanics takes getting used to but I don't hate it. It feels sloppy at first but Its kind of reminiscent of old 2010's RPG First person games similar to Elder Scrolls. If you like that feel then this is your type of game.

I just finished the game. It was an excellent RPG experience! Even though it's coming from a smaller studio, this RPG gem has deeply written memorable characters. The story line is written with wisdom and depth, and if the player wants to make the relevant choices, it's possible to have the experience of re-writing history and healing the world, which is a quite powerful experience.

It's a very basic RPG, nothing too deep in terms of gameplay or crafting, or even story, but it's still enjoyable. The best part about it is the world, the late 17th century/early 18th century aesthetic is awesome and I wish more RPGs would do more with it.

I got this game on sale, but I would have gladly paid full price for it.

This is hands down the most fun I've had with a game in a long time. The world is beautiful and fairly large. You take on the role of the legate for the Congregation of Merchants.

The companions are pretty great. Love the team of Father Petrus and Siora. Their banter is pretty great.

I tried hard to get a good ending and succeeded in doing so at lvl 41. I felt like the CIA with all the backroom reforms and activities I was instigating. On to GreedFall II. Perhaps later I'll go to the darkside.

O jogo é bonito e estou curtindo a história, porém algumas mecânicas são complicadas e até um pouco irritantes.

Jogo pra quem gosta de ler e tem muita paciência, pois tem muitos diálogos e as quests são bem longas.

its good. bought it during sale, play it until finish, but probably wont play it again. the walk here, go there kind of quest is frustrating and kind of boring. 3/5 i guess. decent game

Interesting story, interesting world, interesting era and gameplay, pity it's a gigantic and endless "I wanted to but I couldn't"

Greedfall is a narrative adventure RPG where you play as a diplomat that has been sent to a recently settled island to find a cure for a mysterious illness.

The game is very story driven and exceptionally well written and interesting. Your choices in the game matter a lot, between how you deal with things, to what characters are in your party as events unfold, and even sometimes the gear you are wearing can change the outcomes of events in a big way. The game looks really good, and the environments are very detailed.

The only downsides to the game are, the enemy variety is quite limited, the combat is fine, but doesn't really innovate or do anything exceptionally well. You can stunlock the enemies and be stunlocked by the enemies in certain situations. The world despite looking incredible, is at times very difficult to navigate without constantly having to check your map. The magic system is also very barebones. There is also a side quest that can brick if not done properly the first time, which is obnoxious, it's a mission to eradicate foxes eating birds around a camp, one of the foxes, somehow gets out of bounds, and doesn't despawn, causing you to not be able to finish the mission, which sits in your quest log for the entire game.

The game isn't particularly short, but you won't unlock everything by the end of the game, unless you do a lot of tedious grinding. You don't really need to unlock everything anyway. The most important things to unlock are Enlightenment level 1, just for dialogue options and the ability to use gap passages. Science level 1 to be able to break small rock walls. And Vigor level 3 for getting around obstacles.

This is the sort of game that someone who loves a good story is gonna appreciate, it's a real gem. But for people who skip dialogues and cutscenes, and just want to get into the action, there really isn't a lot for you here.

The game held my interest from start to finish, and I know there are many other ways it could be played, many different story paths and even a different ending I could have gone for, so it is well worth a try for people who like story based games.

Developed by Spiders, who are known for other titles such as Steelrising, Bound By Flame, The Technomancer and many more. Greedfall is a third person RPG that takes place within a fantasized version of the 18th century. You take on the role of De Sardet, a diplomat and the Legate of the Merchant Congregation. You embark on a journey from your continent (that is currently suffering from a sickness that has no cure) to an island that is currently in the process of being colonized by several alliances.

The best way I can describe Greedfall is it is a budget title, not necessarily a bad thing, but it shows once you get to the island. The island isn't a big open world. It is split into several zones that share a load screen between each. This will take a big chunk out of immersion but nothing I find extremely bad. The combat is pretty basic with block, parry, light attack and heavy attack. You also have projectile weapons such as flintlocks, magic, and bombs. All of them which require a simple button press. No aiming required. Once you're locked onto an enemy your projectile will go towards that enemy. This game also has a companion system. You have two companions with you at a time. There are five companions in total.

You have three combat trees to choose and mix'n'match with. Warrior (your basic melee class) Technical (which uses traps, bombs, guns and coating your weapon with status effects) and of course Magic (Projectile based). You won't be able to cap out every tree so choose a build you fits your playstyle. There are Memory Crystals which basically reset all your skill points to be redistributed but you only get a handful of these in a single playthrough.

The voice acting is pretty good. Which matters because there is a lot of talking in this game. A lot. You do have a Charisma skill that's pretty basic but if you invest to it pretty early you can almost 100% convince in every conversation. You companions will even make comments during conversations and sometimes even contribute to the conversation to varying outcomes. There is a romance system and very bare bones to the point of it there only being one romance scene that plays before the final quest.

The game is very lore rich and a lot of time and work went into creating this world. You can learn lengthy amounts of lore and backstory from characters and the several factions that occupy the island. I find the Natives of the island being the most interesting of the bunch. Of course there is no shortage of prejudice and xenophobia which only adds to making the world feel more alive. A lot of the choices you make do play out in a New Vegas slideshow at the end of the game.

Overall I recommend the game but like I said it is a budget title. So don't expect AAA quality. With that mindset you'll find the most enjoyment out of the game.

This games probably good, but the interface feels like trying to thread a stripped bolt under a broken truck in -40C weather... I've played alot of games and one thing that makes some of them unplayable is a clunky awkward interface... This needs improvement. I will visit the game later and hopefully I can leave a better review, but for now it's not pleasant to play and feels alot like an RPG with awkward character control...

Nah. 7+/10, unfortunately. Not too shabby, yet not too polished or great content or story-wise, cannot even begin to rival bigger RPGs out there. And some of the quest-breaking bugs (that turned me away from it in the first place) and outdated "begin a new act, lose the ability to finish some quests" are simply disappointing...

This game has a great story and a lot of fun game play. Its not predictable and the combat is fun and engaging most of the time. I dont really have any complaints I could possibly think of. Some people dont like the objective marking system but it worked exactly as i expected. Spiders the company who made this, did a fantastic job for how small they and the graphics are so much better in this then their previous titles.

A pretty unique RPG and story that unfortunately wasn't executed as well as it could have been.

In the end it became such a chore to get 100% achievements in. It took me 74 hours to do so, but it felt like it should have took a lot less.

A lot of the gameplay loop ended up being 'fast travel or walk to X location', going back and forth between NPC's constantly.

I would recommend it to those with lower expectations, as it was a fairly enjoyable experience.

However, those with higher standards probably won't stick with it all the way.

quite and enjoyable RPG it has its jank but the world is intriguing looking forward to playing the equal

nothing super crazy or extraordinary in terms of game play but has an involved story that changes with the decisions you make in quest completion. don't expect bethesda or obsidian levels of rpg but still a fun game

Writing is painful, it's an RPG writing/story is the most important aspect of the game and unfortunately, it isn't very good. Most of the premises and outcomes are outright naive.

I went into this game without much research not knowing what it is about except that it is an RPG about colonization. But it turns out i had much fun playing this game. The strongest point for this game is definitely the story and even the voice acting is of top quality. The PLOT, the twist and the quests that this game throws to you are so good that i really feel that i am playing an rpg instead of fetch quest that most other rpgs fall into. The combat itself needs some getting used to but the customization keeps things fresh so you will be waiting for the next level instead of just some stats increase. Do try it and i can highly recommend this game to lovers of storytelling rpg. Rate it 9/10.

The focus of the game

Cons

Pros

Recommendations

Fully fleshed out RPG style game with numerous dialogue options, even including romance. Although there are some bugs and some terrain traversal inconsistencies, the game easily offers 20+ hours of content and is worth replaying as different classes. Would recommend to players of Dragon Age game (excluding Veilguard) and other similar games.

Fenomenally good gameplay and well written story. I feel like every option that I chose mattered to the story. Very happy with the talent options as it bring variety for multiple playthroughs of the game.

Though, I dislike how strict the romance option are. I played the game blindly, and I had hoped to romance one of the characters and did not see the option to. I only realized when I searched the internet that I have a mistake in choosing the correct answer in the dialogues. As these dialogues are important, I think they should be an indication in telling the player that these lines will matter a lot. Another option is to make the route easier

Wow, I wish I had bought this ages ago. Really solid ARPG with an engaging story and solid combat. Choices matter, and things are more complicated than just picking what color path you're going to do. I really, really like this one and am looking forward to spending more time on it.

This is a great game. Not as big and complex as say the Witcher, but still good mechanics. the story is a little preachy and insists on making righteous choices the whole way through. developers still seem to think the purpose of the game is to force feed moral choices and punishing the player as a consequence. let people explore ideas for fun for Christs sake! lol. 3.5 Stars

i want to commit to this game and i've played enough hours but there is to much of the same thing, same npc and i wish there was a more of difference in the game. I love the diplomacy and the landscape but it is to stale..

Gorl Game, in a weirdly trashy way. Like a not-as-good Dragon Age.
Some companions are annoying (again, Dragon Age) but you can ignore them for the most part.
Buy on Sale.

A bit rough around the edges here and there. But real fun and the developers put lots of love and care into the world and story. Plus combat is both fun and snappy plus their combat pause feature making the combat almost turn based if you really want that. Difficulty settings allowing anyone to breeze through it or play on max difficulty. I will certainly replay it again some day.

Great story, beautiful environment and characters. Nice set of well calibrated skills. Only gameplay is sometimes repetitive during fights.

Decent old-school RPG with a solid storyline but slightly lackluster combat mechanics. The movement is slightly clunky and there is a lack of variety in environments with many copy and pasted models. The progression does feel rewarding and I would recommend this game on sale as there are still some frustrating bugs in the game.

I would give this game a solid 8/10. It has it's flaws, but overall it is a magnificnet game. The nature is really gorgeous here, shame it is not used so much, beside exploration. Such a potential. Also could use more quests and better legendaries, all of the weapons and Armor feels the same, with just a slightly different numbers. No special effects or skills attached to them, which is a bit of a shame.
But overall, the story is catchy and great, quests have a good plot twists to them and the world is overwhelmlingly beautiful. Combat is fun, you can combine skills from various classes and create your own unique build, which is nice.
Good game as a basic RPG, lot of unused potential.

i would HIGHLY recommend this game if you enjoyed Baldurs Gate 3 or any of the Mass effect games

Love it. The story's amazing, the characters are well-written, interesting world-building and setting. Combat is pretty fun. Others have said it better than I can, but yes, while the budget limitation is there, my enjoyment was never hindered by it. Especially if story is what you're looking for, I'd say this game is definitely worth a try.

Want a good story with Romance and really good quests and side quests, 100% WOULD play this game again

人物毫无表情，NPC千篇一律，浪费大量时间跑图就是来回几个地方和不同的人对话。打斗毫无特色，动作非常僵化，能用的技巧就那么几个，敌人也就那么几种，甚至连地图和房屋宫殿都是翻来覆去的那么几个。很容易就玩腻了。

This is a fantastic RPG. The story, how you explore the world, discover secrets, interact with npc and companions, build your character skills, act as the type of protagonist you want to be. All of it is great. It's slower paced than a lot of games, you will need to have patience and get immersed in the world, but it pays off. I was blown away by the thought that was put into your character and how you can play them and the results the world will show depending on your choises. The story kept on throwing curve balls keeping me intrigued. The world building was unique and fun to explore. This is its own fantasy universe and it's unapologetic about it, and I love that. I'm praying that Greedfall 2 succeeds so that this can continue.

Some people seem to like this game, doesn't click for me. Sadly a waste of time and money. It feels like an alpha version for most adventure games. I wanted to like the world that was being built here, but I can't because, the voice acting is flat and uninspired, the combat is a repetitive disjointed mess, enemy variety is minimal, stories are predictable and choices really don't seem to matter; why would you ever make the "wrong" choice. I will say while the options for gearing seem interesting they overall make ALL the impact in fights or none, as in, there is no progression to the gear and there is no progression to the skill upgrades. You don't suddenly feel powerful when you get your 'apex' ability in a tree. Overall, if you can see past all those compounding negatives you might like this game. Good luck.

I mostly liked this game. The Early Modern fantasy setting is a breath of fresh air, compared to the mass of fantasy stories oriented towards the european middle ages. The world looks beautiful, especially nature. I don't know if I've ever seen such pretty depictions of the natural world in a video game. Greedfall also tackles the topic of colonialism, which is cool, because it is not so often adressed in video games. The handeling of the topic is sometimes nuanced, sometimes a little flat, but overall I think the team did a good job. Sometimes the "natives" feel a little childish. Colonialism is of course connected to racism, which is side-stepped in the game by making most of the indigenous and the colonists white. I have no problem with that. An understandable choice. The story was mostly ok, but there where a few quests and characters that I really liked. Although I didn't really get emotional during my playthrough.
Gameplay-wise Greedfall is not too challenging. Even on the highest difficulty I didn't really have a problem most of the time. If you've ever played something like Darksouls (which I haven't) this will be a walk in the park. The RPG systems are well made. I like that there are no real classes and you can create any build you want. It is also not possible to earn every skill in the game, so you have to have priorities. But I must say that I found the stun spells to be too OP, especially because no enemy ever uses them. A lot of Greedfall is a walking simulator, triggering quest points upon arriving. This is not exiting, but it is also not so boring that it makes you want to quit the game.
Overall, if you're looking for a decent action RPG that doesn't use the standard medieval setting, then pick this up on sale!

Its a pretty good game with good companions. Similar to Bioware games in that regard where you can influence your companions decisions. Different endings based on the decisions you make in game. Combat is not that good.

Beautiful AF. Boring AF.
