GreedFall

Very solid game that brings back memories of the KOTOR series and that era of Bioware and Obsidian RPGs. Graphics are modernized a bit, but there's some archaic design decisions that needed to be improved and fixed. The story takes place in an undeveloped colony/new world area with the natives mostly still living there, but the new settlers beginning to build. There's magic and monsters, as well as guns and alchemy. Melee was too hard to do for me in this game, but that sword style is there too. Exploration is mostly linear and in zones that you go through in order. There's some freedom to explore though. A cast of companions you get and NPCs to interact with, old school style quests and dialogue. There's a lot of issues to be sure, just like in that era that really should be fixed for today. Too much backtracking, a lack of fast travel, GPS is okay, quest log is okay, quests could be better, crafting and skill checks can be a pain because you'll have to swap out companions and equipment for a lot of it. Combat is kind of locked down through most of the game, then alchemy and guns open up with gold becomes trivial but by then you're pretty late in the game. This studio gets better with each release however, and currently I do think they're the most smaller RPG studio for this style of game, and one of if not the best period. I'm looking forward to Greedfall 2, if that's a great game you probably won't have needed to play this, but while you wait, you could grab this and play it. It isn't too long, you'll run through the entire thing within a week or two. Not too much replayability and not too memorable overall, but a good, solid WRPG in a time when few games really stand out these days.

The title says it all :)

Surprisingly polished game from devs known for jank AA (which I love!), tons of hours of RPG goodness with a fresh storyline involving colonization and natives of an island, similar to Avatar movies but set in the 1800s.

I love party based RPG's and this one has a fresh new world to explore! Great Lore!

I like the world, quests, dialogues etc are all ok. Certain combat scenarios are unfortunately awful due to clunky controls/ weird camera/ unresponsivness - you want to run asap away from enemy to attack with ranged weapon ? get ready to start your great escape with weird dodge move - want to use healing potion ? spam that hot key like a maniac because pressing it only 92 times is not enough. Not every combat encounter is bad - only those where you dont have companions (only then camera zooms out for no good reason at all). Overall its a good game, but not at full price, just get it on sale or play on GamePass for PC.
