GreedFall boasts a unique, semi-open world in which to immerse yourself, but is held back by the limitations of its game engine.

Greedfall is a tough game to judge. It's neither bad nor great. It comes staggeringly close to greatness in a number of areas, but it just lacks the polish or ambition to go further. If you're looking for a nostalgic trip back to the mid-2000s style of WRPGs, then you'll find a lot to like in Greedfall. It's worth a shot if you're a fan of that style of games. In a year that gave us titles like Disco Elysium, it's difficult to be particularly impressed by something that is merely standard.

RPG with lot to offer. Just the low-cost end credits are bit head-scratching :D

After the first few hours where I played with more complex emotions, everything started to flow much more smoothly once I got used to the main mechanics and the pacing of the game. At no point did I feel like I was playing a masterpiece, but that didn’t change the fact that I was playing a game that was slightly above average. The average characters and predictable mission design were balanced by the fact that each mission offered multiple approaches and choices, which helped me place this game slightly above the average. I don’t recall being deeply moved at any point in the story, yet the gradual introduction of new characters and information about the world managed to keep me engaged until the end. It’s a game with a reasonable length and a good amount of variety.However, in the second half of the game, constantly running from one place to another without fast travel points and holding down the A button to run on the map started to become increasingly tedious. The game never really encouraged me to explore. Still, even though it doesn't come close to something like The Witcher 3, its side quests managed to hook and reward me enough that I ended up completing all the ones I came across. It’s not a game I’ll remember or recommend a few months from now, but even so, it gave me faith that the developer, Spiders, can improve upon it in a sequel. For that reason, I’d like to say that I do plan to try the second game when I get the chance.

The real enjoyment came when mixing up the two elements of conversation and combat. The way that the game allows you to make some really difficult choices in how you go about on the island give a real feeling of importance.

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.

Without any doubt this is the best game in the last 10 years. Beautiful and dramatic. Other games now seem like nothing after it.

For the second time in my life (the first was with Dragon Age Origins) I can say YES THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY 100% MASTERWORK. This game has soul and deserves all the love of this world. This is what happens when developers CAN and ARE NOT afraid to make a pure art. My respect for Spiders is endless. They have created a visual and story masterpiece. I have replayed this game 12 times already and stopped only because I remember everything there by heart.

GreedFall certainly left me wanting more; 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 me back to Teer Fradee some time soon. Forget waiting for the next Dragon Age, GreedFall is an impressive debut for what could well become a classic series.

The best thing about GreedFall is that intangible thing called “flow”: it’s easy to get hooked up and just play it, even though the game doesn’t offer nuanced mechanics or meticulously detailed world. [Issue#241, p.52]

Greedfall is the kind of game where you really need to be into the story to be able to look past its faults and still enjoy it. That can be an issue because while the plot is generally well written and does a good job of tying its side stories into the main thread, the overall subject matter is going to be uncomfortable for some. Its design and gameplay elements are competent but nothing amazing, nor does it really do anything that stands it apart from others in its genre. There's also a fair amount of technical issues to deal with throughout. If the story does grab you, however, it's easy to invest quite a bit of time in the game. If nothing else, Greedfall does tackle the kind of story that few games are willing to discuss.

Because Greedfall is so cavalier about its colonialist themes, and because it plays it safe by sticking so closely to the template of open-world RPGs, it doesn't really feel revelatory in any way. Instead, it's content to be just another digital playground--just another world filled with magic, riches, secrets, and monsters for players to shoot and loot at will. I did have fun when I got lost in its familiar RPG loop, but its lack of nuance or innovation prevents it from being truly remarkable.

First of the game runs like sh it while looking OK to decent at times. The quest are mostly interesting while leaving you typically with couples of choices of approach and different endings. Its hard to put it into words but some areas feel lifeless despite being very busy. The combat system, leveling system, rpg elements and itemization are all all right and rather simplified. Overall i recommend it for witcher style rpg but barely so.

Grafikler idare midare, hikaye de aynı. Oynanış sıkıcı. Sonuç ise ortalama altı bir yapım. Yoklukta oynanabilir.

Oh boy, what a ride... I was going to make a well-crafted review for this is one of the first "big" games that I was going to post here but at the end, I could not even muster the energy to write more than a few lines. This game is slow, its gameplay resembles a demo and its sandbox is a convoluted highway between points with many bushes to make you feel like you are exploring. In reality, you are going from point A to point B, and may God forbid you to find a place that you were not supposed to find beforehand (you know, the whole point of adventure games in a sense). If you ever dare do that, you won't even get a line of the characters nor will be talked about in the future about how you were in this very suspicious place fifteen minutes ago. I won't drag this out any longer, I had to finish the last three to four missions at 2x speed just because I wanted to finish the game. Quality: 0/10 Entertainment:1/10 Women: Questionable. There is really not a single genuinely good thing in this game that does not have a con.
