GreedFall

I gave this game a first try a couple years ago, and I tried it again recently, playing 10 more hours.

Unfortunately, I will not be finishing the game because it's boring and it feels empty, despite a good start (the very first quests are okay and learning about the setting is interesting, but it doesn't make up for the same 2 types of enemies that you encounter over, over, over and over again).

Maybe worth it when it's on sale, but I don't recommend paying full price for this.

Want to feel like a 17th century diplomat. Mixed in with some magic and intrigue? Like to chat to discover the secrets then this game is for you. This is not an action RPG -combat is far in between the talking-.

I like the story, time location and parties involved in the story.
The execution could be better but is OK to get the story across so far.

The game was okay, but felt very empty. It is an RPG game, and the world and your decisions don't really effect the game that much. Hack and slash style game, upgrade equipment, but lacks a bit of depth, especially after a while. It was an okay game, and could have been passed on, but also was okay to play through.

sick ass game, make sure upgrade your guns and its some devilish good fun!!

I'm shocked. This game is very underrated. Even if you compare it with the recent Avowed - there are also guns, magic, swords. But the plot, immersion - 100 times better. Even the loading menu and character creation - is already so atmospheric - you can see that the developers love their project.
Also, there are pretty cool combat mechanics, and they throw challenges, especially at a difficult level. Interesting companions, cool Victorian clothes and weapons. Complex and non-trivial quests. I definitely enjoyed the game.
10/10

Few, finally the game is done on Extreme difficulty! This game, despite not involking in me many emotions, the onse she did involked were positive, which is rare for me for I am rather lame person and I consider it to be a decent expiriance over all as I romanced Siora.

First of all, I would like to thank Spiders for creating this amazing world and expiriance that I and so many other could play, and over all, I loved this game.

I Played petty much msot of Spiders games and liked them, and like I said in my discussion post, this game in particulalr feels like epithamy of Spider's game design, all the combat style, quest system, to companions and characters feels at their limits, which are both good and bad at the same time. But I still decided with a thumb up at the end, because I felt bittersweet by the 'Golden' Ending I worked hard for,

The Pros: 1. This one is a bit spesific taste on my part, for like I said above, if you like Spiders games formula(Combat, Dialogue, World, Quests, Characters), then you will like GreedFall for it more or less retains the same things it's predesessors had. A rich world with tons of lore and charatcers, RPG combat that keeps you on your toes(Extreme difficulty PTSD)

2. The game is more semi-open world, well not really, more like giant open zones between areas with a bunch of enemies(read:wild life) is outh there to kill you and around... what 30-50, side quests to do in them besides main quest including DLC? Maybe less like 25 or something side quests. Which again, can be debated to personal preferance for many people, but for me, I see it as a plus for SPiders in their game direaction.

3. I especially liked the way De Sarde moved in combat using melee weapons, guns/vials, and magic.

Cons: But it's not perfect.

1. Even though sometimes, my character was stuck still doing animation 1 attack for like 100000 years while the enemy runs at me at Mach-5 and I am still just swining a sword, and no matter how I already can see it in animation I can't dodge until he finishes this.

2. Back tracking. SO. MUCH. BACK TRACKING. I think it got worst with each new game as it was always a bane of Spider games but here it's especially noticable. Like I understand that I am supposed to be the 'negotiations' guy, but more often than note I was keep wonering: "Could't you guys have like... pigeons or sonething? Or do you invented phones yet? Like I am an official of your allie. Can I have a carriag or a horse so I don't need to walk on foot all the time and be your errand boy?" And no, the carriages that take you to the cities were't much help for I rarely used them since I could just go to my residence and teleport from there, which is a good thing mind you, for it would be annoying otherwise.

3. There are some small grammar/VA mistakes here even way post launch, a voice actor doesn't match with the words on subtitles, but I think there is only one instance of that.

3. This is again more personal, but I was dissapointed with De Vespe Conspiracy's DLC, where they shown the whole new region and enemy type, I though it would be way bigger than what it actually was(the only location in the game I didn't checked were the caves there), and the whole experiance was like... extra 30 minutes of side content? With 10 minutes being again, going back and forth to be an errand boy, which again, some people may not like. Also I was surprised when we couldn't romance the baddies of the DLC, like I know why, but still... come on Spiders, what about continuying a royal bloodline?)

And that's it for what I can taek from my head right now. A rabling with little substance, I know, I still liked Siora's romance even though it came out litteraly LAST ONE, despite her joining relatevily early, weird how it worked.

I still miss the times where we could had baddies with giant boob like Edwen... ;(

It's an OK game.

The Bad: The travel system is from the dark ages. Quests which seemingly never want to end. The over use of running from one side of the map to the other seemingly just to increase your hours in the game. Can't continue after you finish the Main Quest so can't complete side quests and increase attributes for any legendary armours or weapons. Lack of dialogue choices a lot of the time.

The Good : The believable dialogues and characters. The voice acting apart from the Villagers. The main quest is well thought out if you follow through to the end but it takes a lot to get there.

Good game, could've been polished, but the story and combat make up for it, 8/10

This game has been fun to play. I remember wanting it when it came out, and then feeling like I saw bad reviews, and not picking it up. However, I got it on sale, figuring if it was bad I could return it.

So far, I've enjoyed it. It's certainly not perfect, but it's enjoyable with a decent story, good lore, and decent combat. Overall, I like it. I got sucked in quickly, wanting to know more about the malichor and the factions. I also liked some of the monster designs, though you do see the same ones a lot. The skill and ability trees actually force you to make some choices, so having people in your party who give you a boost to X or Y after you befriend them gives you an organic reason to do their personal quests. I liked using equipment to boost my stats as well. I felt like I actually had to plan a bit instead of just slapping whatever like I find I can do in a lot of RPGs.

Some of the story pacing is awkward, and De Sardet can sound like an idiot sometimes, but I like the companions, and I like my cousin that comes with me. The side quests have some lore to them that's interesting as well. The lighting in the game is also really pretty?? Like, I was struck by how realistic it felt.

There are times when you say things and it's clear that the dialogue tree got wonky, and I wish you could fast travel to a camp from the map instead of only from a camp or exit point, but it's only been noticeable later in the game.

If you see the game on sale, I think it's definitely worth checking out if you enjoy RPGs and fantasy.

This game was so much fun! I loved the setting, the story, the characters, and even warmed up to the combat. It's very flawed for sure, the gameplay gets very repetetive, assets being copy pasted all over, the character models and animations are somewhat bad, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Most quests are kill stuff and talk to people , but your character is a diplomat, it makes sense to resolve everything with talking. If not full price, it's absolutely worth getting at a discount.

Played in 2025. It's oddly a strong 6.75 for me, too low for 6.5 too high for 7. That extra .25 is solely because of Síora. Short for an RPG, combat can be fun but a lot of stuffs didn't matter nearing the end. Weird stutters even though I think my PC is quite okay and odd bugs and invinsible walls AND awkward accidental body blocks that I can still tolerate. Story quite predictable halfway there, and the main focus character to the end I didn't care at all because to begin with he was seriously unlikable.

However I enjoyed the fact that I did stop for a few good seconds at certain places to enjoy the view (I like exploring games) There are moments seriously just a dash of Witcher and Fallout vibe (considering the years they were released) and the fact Síora reminded me of a decaf version of Curie. And kudos to the design which I can see there are intricate details and some of the creatures were well done too.

Should the devs are given a second game or another version of this, I would just recommend a deeper character personalities, most of the time we want to care about them, which in this one I mostly just did not. And just more animations to the individuals as well. I'm guessing given this isn't an AAA game I understand the limitations.

All in all I enjoyed it, Lady De Sardet x Síora FTW.

I really wanted to like this game. I enjoyed bound by flame from the same studio, but this game is too slow for me. The combat is jank, even janker than bound by flame. Also fighting A. four legged animal B. flying animal C. humanoid and D. boss gets real boring real quick. The world is awesome, they made a whole fake accent, language and ethnic group. Story is okay but I can't stand all the talking for most of a mission and then there's like 2 really weak fights at some point. And most of the time it's a bunch of 4 legged beasts you fight running between quest markers. I couldn't bring myself to finish this one.

Everything is mid. Can't push myself to play 30 more hours to it knowing it will be the same as the first 10. No fun playing that. The combat system couldn't be more simple, played in max difficulty and each fight felt the same. So few different ennemies and attack patterns. Story is bland. RPG elements are weak (this lv 1/2/3, that lv1/2/3). Crafting is pointless. Story is meh. Characters even more meh.

Nothing really felt exiting enough to continue playing to it. The rare occurences i didn't finish a game was because it was too bad at something and it was too much infuriating to go on playing. It's the first time i stop because of plain boredom. Especially an RPG like that.

That said. I must have played 500 different good games in the last 35 years, half of them being RPGs. So maybe if you are younger and all you ever played is platformers and this is your first RPG then you will find it good. It's always hard to evaluate games because other people doesn't have the same background at all. Just know there is countless better games of that type than this one.

This seemed like the kind of game I would enjoy and as someone who has played some older Spiders games too and liked those enough to finish them (though they weren't spectacular by any means), I had pretty high hopes for Greedfall actually. But I was left disappointed.

I really wanted to like this game. I thought the setup was interesting and I was looking forward to getting to explore the island and unraveling its mysteries. However, I very soon came to realize that while the premise of the game is good and on paper this looks like the kind of game I should really like, it ended up not being true.

The characters seemed one dimensional to me, most of the quests that I managed to get through were more or less just fetch quests or walking back and forth and talking to different people all over again, and I just felt bored most of the time that I played the game. I wasn't having any fun. I wasn't really looking forward to what would happen next or what I would discover along the journey or anything. And as someone who really prefers rpgs for the stories they tell, the fact that the story didn't end up gripping me at all was what ultimately made me decide to not continue with the game and even try to finish it. No sense in trying to force myself to play a game when I could be playing something that I actually enjoy instead.

Other than feeling bored with the story and the characters and the repetitive quests, one other issue I had was the fact that I really hated the fast travel system. It didn't really make sense to me and I felt like it could've been done so much better. At least there is fast travel so there is that, but I just didn't like the way it was done.

The combat was alright if I have to say something positive about this game. I didn't get very far in the game so I can't really say for sure if the combat would've turned boring later on as well, but that was my personal favourite part of the game during the 9.5 hours I managed to put into it. However, you can also get better combat in other games, combined with a better story and better characters... so unfortunately, Greedfall gets a no from me.

While its story may be a bit shallow in places, it’s still got a lot of depth, a fluid, intuitive combat system and enough morally-grey missions to bring you back to Teer Fradee some time soon. Easily Spiders’ best work and one that is confident in its own material, GreedFall, though flawed, is one more fine addition to the AA sphere and a great example of passion and dedication, succeeding where it matters.

Loved the story and the companions - loved the feeling of the environments and the feeling of depth to the world. A bit janky yes, but still fun. If you like dragon age and avowed, this is a game for you.

suck 35 hours into the game and I've just given up, I dont care, I dont care about the boring story, or the boring compainions.
The fast travel system is an ass and the midway camp/merchant between every single fast travel grows old FAST. I doubt I will even bother finishing the game, let alone replay and im a huge game re player. could of been an amazing game, but it's just SO boring.

Oh boy was this a tedious journey! I really wanted to like that game, but I found myself wanting it to end barely halfway through... Its wasn't ALL bad, graphics are fine for it's time, the story was pretty good also. But the bugs, the inconsistency, the repetitive combat, the lack of diversity in gear and plants and enemies... This would have been a fine 15-20 hours action RPG, there was just not enough substance to stretch it to 40-50 hours...

As of March 2nd 2025,

First of all, the game works well. In a 18 hours + gameplay, I've encountered no bugs nor crashes whatsoever, my charac never got stuck somewhere in the openworld and NPC move if they block your path (wow !)

About the game now. It's an heavily narrative (A)RPG. The combat system is a bit odd but we'll get used to it quite quickly.
The world is divided in mini open world areas but it's not that big, overall it's not an open world. Most quests are Fedex, go to A, fetch item then deliver/speak to B etc... It's kind of really repetitive so if the story doesn't hook you, you'll most likely give up the game after a couple of hours.

Nothing stands out exceptionnaly about the game, graphics are good (still today), music is ok, progression is ok and nothing is awful either.

I would recommend you to buy it on sales if you like heavy driven story game otherwise I doubt you'll like it but that wouldn't make it a bad game anyway.

It's your typical spider game, the kind of low budget RPGs with good ideas, beautiful art direction, nice voice acting and music, but this time they forgot to make it fun and interesting…

They were taking inspiration from Bioware, but they ended up making the polar opposite: a boring game, filled with repetitive fetch quests, souless characters, and a story that has no stake to offer and no reward for your emotional investment. It's just poor game design.

Really good acting and story telling. I like the combat as well. The companions are really fun.

I really wanna like this game, but I just can't.

Story - 3/5
The world is there, but the way you're exposed to it is not great. There are cut scenes and dialogue with characters speaking a foreign language that you just sit through and I guess are supposed to understand through context or being given a definition at one point. That's fine if you're doing long playthroughs, but doing 1-2 hours at a time after work over weeks isn't gonna cut it.

Questing - 2/5
There are plenty of quests and they're full of voice dialogue, which is great, but they're not handled well in relation to world building. Overall it's an MMO system. Person with a quest marker over their head, talk to them, go do whatever. To make matters worse, a lot of quests are just a lot of back and forth to talk to people. And a lot of the quests feel contrived and very out of place.

I had to turn the game off for the day when I was doing a quest, sent into a trap, come back to confront the person who sent me into the trap, who admits it, then 30 seconds later asks us for a favor. This is an RPG, I should've been able to react with more than "Oh you tricked me, I sure am upset with you! But sure, I'll help you with a favor!"

World and Travel - 1/5
I hate going anywhere in this game. My compass is full of markers and going to where I need to feels awkward. The markers aren't even explicitly clear if it's on the same map you're currently on. Combined with most maps being corridors since the Z Axis is very limited (No jumping, just vaulting up a limited set of ledges), getting anywhere in the game feels like a chore, especially on quests that send you to an opposite side of a new map.

Combat & Skills - 2/5
Combat looks like it's meant to be deep. There's a lot of skill trees, but when you look at them more closely, most are just incremental stat buffs that aren't really needed. Difficulty also feels irregular and jarring. More difficult enemies will at least have a skull icon over them, but that doesn't actually tell you much aside from it hits hard. My bigger complaint is that a lot of enemies have few or faint telegraphs, especially wild animals. This means if you're not playing regularly to learn and remember what they are, you'll be getting knocked down a lot, which is just annoying -- which is a theme of combat in general: annoyance. Difficulty is something hitting you for 1/3rd your health, and recovering with potions. Otherwise you're steamrolling through enemies or steamrolling through enemies who knock you down or stagger you.

Graphics - 4/5
They feel dated, especially after playing modern games, but they have a charm to them, and considering this is a game by a smaller publisher made years ago, it looks good overall. Monster designs are unique and while the character creator is limited, it still offers decent customization. My only complaint is some of the companions don't do the graphics justice (though others look great). They look like they're from an alpha version of the game and never got updated.

Overall - 3/5
I'll round up the average from 2.4 because like I said at the start, I REALLY want to like this game. That said, only buy this game if it's on sale and you have nothing else to play. Maybe I went into it with my expectations too high, but it had plenty of glowing reviews when I initially bought it back during COVID (finally getting around to playing it in 2025). It has an old school RPG feel with some MMO style mechs/elements, but it takes a lot of the good and bad from both and it shows.

Solid game, lacks in enemy variety. Story is good graphics are amazing. 8/ 10

Got it for ten bucks with the DLC and enjoyed it much more than AAA games for sixty hard clams (looking at you, Veilguard).

Dragon Age Inquisition meets Risen 2/3. It's good - give it a chance.

It's a boring game. I tried so hard to enjoy it, but it's tough to enjoy. Seems like its just alot of running back and forth from point A to point B just to complete a quest. Would be nice to fast travel.

GreedFall is a wonderful game. The DLC (De Vespe Conspiracy) wasn't nearly as impressive as the main game, though. I'll just do a pros and cons list on the game. Hope it helps.

Pros:
-Worldbuilding receives full marks
-Character design and writing was well done (especially for companions)
-Combat was more fast-paced than I am used to but I felt like it fit the game well
-Blade, Pistol & Sorcery fighting style was an excellent choice for the game's setting
-There was a good amount of side missions but not too much

Cons:
-Graphics aren't bad but not all that good either
-Levels were confusing at times in forested area, I hope this gets improved for the sequel
-While I liked the premise of the character progression system (skills, attributes & talents), the system is too slow for the lenght of the game and should be improved upon

Love the age of exploration style time period mixed with magic and fantasy and such. Pretty cool.

Save your money, save your time and don't bother.

The only good part of the this game is the starting area where you get to walk though an actual city and at least feel like you have a lot of options - then the game begins.

The world map is made to look big like an open world but all it is is a huge linear map. Was this made for a console with no ram? Get ready to turn into a running simulator as you just go back and forth over and over and that long linear run with a few enemies along the way are to cover the fact the game is SHALLOW AS A PUDDLE!

Eye candy with little to offer. There was so much boring back and forth running that it couldn't keep my attention to make it half way through the storyline. This game was the final straw to make me no longer pay top price for these sorts of fancy games. I'll wait till they go 75% off and even then I feel it would have been a waste. I guess I'd clasify the game as an errand simulator.

Fantastic story. Good graphics . Combat system could be reworked but all in all a solid 8/10

This game lacks polish. Movement is clunky, cut scenes are poorly thought out and do not flow naturally because no time was spent on making NPC movements fluid and blend with the story and their surroundings.

I couldn't even make it out of the starting area because the stuttering movement of the player character was immediately noticeable and I knew the entire rest of the game was just going to be an exercise in tolerating tedium.

Unfortunate because I really like the aesthetics and setting, but there is no meat on this bone.

I tried to enjoy this game but the character controls and especially combat is too jank. You can't control your character well and it isn't intuitive at all. Trying to move around large monsters to fight even on the easiest difficulty is clunky and there's no effective dodge key that I could find. The Parry function doesn't last long and monsters attacks are not timed well with their animation so you mis-time the parry constantly. The combat simply isn't enjoyable so the game isn't enjoyable. I like the aesthetic of the game, but can't get past the 1/10 combat. Setting the game down early on in the first city.

I made it to the expanded part of the story and world after putting the game on the easiest difficulty setting. And raised it back to Normal after the first major boss fight where I was stuck. The issue I have w/combat in general is how clunky the player movement is during the fight. Very frequently the game simply will not allow you to strafe around, sprint, or dodge w/Left Shift or WASD. It is very frustrating. I'd like to play combat on a higher difficulty setting but the controls and unresponsive character movement in combat is so poor I guess I will continue playing on Easy or the lowest difficulty just to get through the game without wanting to break my keyboard in frustration.

The style of the game, aesthetic, etc. I enjoy. What sets the game back significantly for me as I've played more hours now is strictly the jank combat and player movement during combat. The world itself is superior to the feel of combat. I saw they're coming out with a sequel, hopefully the second game doesn't carry over this same jank combat to it.

I've figured out a portion of what is wrong or bugged with the game. After each time I minimize the game in from full screen to use a background pc application and return to the game in full screen the Left Shift - Spring/Dodge key command stops working. If I attempt to spring out of combat it stops my character's movement all together. If I try to use it during combat, the shift key also does not work. I think this has been the issue I'm experiencing with the game. It seems like a bug that was never resolved causing the combat to feel horrible. I fixed it by closing the game completely and re-opening, but that's not something I want to do continually. Sucks that your character movement bugs out every time you do anything else on your pc while the game is running.

this one is tough for me to review but it just felt 'off' to me the whole time I was playing it. combat felt a little floaty like my character wasn't firm on the ground and my attacks wouldn't feel meaningful and weighty except for gun shots which were very powerful and satisfying. Blocking and dodging felt awkward though. Characters were not incredibly interesting. Your options for abilities seem very limited to 2 or 3 abilities for each of the three main play-styles. I might have preferred to not play as a character who already has a place in society, it felt like my story was already written for me before I even started so any role play I might do would feel like "De Sardet just started acting really weird the day before they headed to the new world" which took me out of it.. For such a small team though it's quite impressive what they did accomplish especially graphically but maybe I'm too picky or don't have patience anymore and I couldn't get into it.

solid 8.5 from me. Very good game. Narrative RPG. Kinda cool that "decisions" were done based on the missions you decided to do, so if you are a completionist then you're locked into one specific narrative with limited choices. But that aside, nice take on the genre, good narrative experience, actual 10/10 environment design and world building. Absolutely loved the environment (with sepia filter disabled). Very nice setting (either love or hate it). Enjoyed 99% of my time playing the game (except for the couple times of annoying walking back and forth)

super fun game. glad I went back and did it again. First time I stopped about 60% of the way through, didn't realize how far I was! But man, what a great game. Fantastic experience, do recommend!

For an open-world RPG that they showcase in trailers, the game is pretty weak—more of a running simulator with clunky combat and poor movement.

is it groundbreaking? no. is the story deep? also no. is the main character likable? thats a big ol no. but thats fine because he is desardet. legate of the congregation. 6 or 7 out of 10. vibes of witcher 1/2

simple oldschool rpg. graphics are a little crusty but its a decent game.

I don't normally leave reviews.
I got the game for $10 on sale... not sure if it was worth that.
You want to like the game
You want to think the game will get better as you continue through the story, but you end up just not caring.
Combat is simple and boring
Characters and dialogue is boring
It just feels like the game never left beta

its very good game for non AAA dev, its feels like dumb down version of dragon dogma and witcher 3 a little bit, this game excel on good storyline and character deveploment option to choose, i really enjoy it but the huge problem are you will do A LOT RUNNING SIMULATOR and the enemy is so easy to beat at mid to endgame other than i still finished the game with balance ending with 5,9% achievment ez 8,5/10 RPG game for me .

Very interesting game. I enjoyed the game play and the story. Side quests were very repetitive though. My issue is that I have trouble running the game. Idk if it's just optimization but a Ryzen 5 5600X and a 3060ti shouldn't have trouble running this at low settings. It kept freezing and skipping until eventually my whole PC freezes and I have to restart

Very climatic, good and interesting story, enjoyable combat, breathtaking climax and your choices matter, thats all i need to say.

It is definitely reminiscent of an old school Bioware game. It's heavy on the dialogue and story while leaving plenty of time for exploring, grinding, crafting, and side questing if that's your thing. You also have extremely competent companions -- I see some people complaining about their AI but I had almost zero issues with them. Much like Outer Worlds, you can dump your focus into Charisma and it makes them stronger. You can also gear them up properly and pretty much walk away from your computer while they mop up the baddies.

The shortcomings are few and far between imo, but I understand some of the complaints. In one mission, I was told to sneak through a warehouse and to not hurt anyone. So I did. When I came back successfully, I was told I did hurt people and it affected my reputation with the character. Not a big deal but there are more than a few moments like that where jank shows up and ruins a fluid experience. I have an OLED monitor with HDR auto-on via Windows so in fairness all I see is beautiful lighting, rich contrast, and detailed textures at ultra settings. I would imagine if I didn't have this, and played on say, medium, I could absolutely see it feeling dated (technically even on release).

I personally found combat to be pretty fun. It's very assassin's creed black flag. You get surrounded, you learn to perfect parry, and combat becomes satisfying but simple and easy. But in grindy games, that's fine with me, so to each their own.

The setting is 100% personal preference, and while I couldn't give less of a shit about early 18th century europe with a fun supernatural twist, the setting never offended me or annoyed me -- if you like New World's vibe you'll like this one too.

Although, one major complaint I have on that topic; you can't hide your helmet. And I know you're thinking "dude, does it really matter" and to that I ask you have you seen how stupid some of/most of the helmets looked in that time period?

This is not an open world game. It's a "Faux-pen world" game. There are an absurd amount of invisible boundary's, completely destroying any sense of freedom. A real open world game would be like the new Zelda's: BOTW or TOTK. This game is more like a PS1 game.

The only way to move from one area to another is through quick travel points. When you're in an 'open world' region of the game, they are just larger sections connected by paths. If the game were more interesting, that wouldn't be too bad, but when you walk on the wrong side of a tree and suddenly you can't continue forward because of a useless invisible boundary, it makes you question why you're wasting your time.

I got the game at an 80% discount, and I still feel like I got ripped off. If you want a game that does this kind of thing, but with a real open world, far more interesting story, and much better combat, and generally everything, then try Horizon Zero Dawn.

a really boring RPG not worth the 10$ i spent and the story sucks as nothing holds my attentions or draws me to keep playing

Clunky annoying combat with poor healing. The same faces for many quest npc's broken quests copy paste buildings for different factions / cities. Typos.. dont get me started on the prodigal son in a certain quest who is clearly black with white parents....

Get it on a discount and you can still possibly enjoy this flawed attempt at a dragon age - assasins creed syndicate hybrid.

Its fine I guess. Combat is simple but okay. The story is meh, The companions are meh. I just don't care about them. I got about 20 hours in and just...stopped out of apathy.

I also have a companion locked in my party because the companion quest bugged out. You are not able to abandon quests, and when having one active the companion is LOCKED into your party. Worst design.decision ever.

If you really really need a new RPG to play and its on sale - it's not the worst game you can play. But its utterly forgettable.

Outdated graphics but a richly built world. Feels like an old bioware game

great rpg, simple yet fun combat with great story

This is a strange game to me, cause I've plaued it twice and sunk over 100 hours into it, yet I just really don't have an opinion. Since I finished it both time I think I lean more positibe than negative which is why I recommend it, but otherwise I just really don't find this game memorable at all.

Got into playing this game due to its offering- magic and guns. The hype died down at around 30% of the game when the "rinse and repeat" formula took effect. Played for 40+ hours and still wondering why I did that.

• Main Story is good. You get to experience a unique story in an open world filled with monsters and betrayals. The MC though, is another thing entirely. There were times when I wished that they should go jump off a nearby cliff (tried, does not work due to the game's strict "No Jumping" policy). Sometimes they are just dumber than a rock. I am gonna leave it at that.
  
• Game-play is enjoyable. You get to choose what you want to be- a dull magician with sick moves, a slow warrior with quick rolls or a crazed trickster (not actually but I call it that because you set traps in plain-sight and "trick" the monsters into stepping on it. Trust me bro, it works all the time). You get to use guns on all you build types. Even with all the skills, I always felt something was lacking. In-game currency(money) just exists because it has to.
  
• Visuals are a treat sometimes when the time and place is just right.
  
• Companions cannot be discarded. They stick by you and challenge insurmountable foes just to end up being a dead weight. They charge in with the same battle cries (Siora) that its now giving me nightmares at times. They can be revived, but then the most important question comes to mind... "Why?"
  
• Character models can be better but its not AAA game to go expecting much.
  
• Traversal is a pain. You have to run a lot from one fast travel point to another.
  
• Sounds are surprisingly good. It helps keep the immersion true and has a calming effect.
  

• Fell through the world when trying to activate "complex" magic that involves jumping(?huh). Not frequently but depends on the terrain.
  
• The DLC does NOT work (does not trigger after reading the note). Apparently something to do with mods. But people playing without mods have the same issue.
  
[*]Someone keeps adding stuff into the boxes stored all over the city. Even though it gets repeatedly plundered(by me). Either they are dumb or crazy. Maybe both.
