Story driven RPGs that rewards diplomacy

Greedfall is a good RPG for you if you are in for the story, the characters and the political intrigue. From beginning to the end every quest delivers interesting develoments. You play to win allies not only battles. If you like to play RPGs which are more about being smart and subtle rather than hitting everything that moves you won't be disappointed. The acting, the setting and the music all contribute to create an immersive atmosphere. At the end of the game I grew attached to some of the characters and felt the weight of some difficult decisions (no spoilers!). All the factions and companions have compelling narratives and motives that keep you interested and make you want to follow through, The gameplay is just ok and the battles tend to be a bit boring compared to other action RPGs, but this is also probably something the developers didn't want to invest more. The interactions with objects are also pretty simple. Crafting is ok if you just want to upgrade some objects and brew potions, but it doesn't allow you to create armors or weapons from scratch. For me honestly this simplicity made sense because all these details that are better executed in other RPGs tend to distract more from the story and make you lose immersion, some people might find this annoying. It's not exactly an open world, but the maps are big enough that it gives you that feeling. Think of Dragon Age Inquisition with the right amount of density of stuff you can find in any given area.

Fun, but kinda clunky

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.

Excellent writing with QOL issues

This would be a five star game if you didn't have to backtrack so much. The quests and lore are intriguing and well-written. It's like being inside a cozy novel.

Spiders will need better animations

I'm dissatisfied. The beginning of the game is addictive, the locations are beautiful, you can feel the atmosphere, the plot is ambitious, but then the game is too repetitive. There's too much walking around in circles in very simple fetch, carry missions. On top of that, monsters constantly spawn. I understand that it's hard to develop a character without fighting them, but the combat system isn't all that great either. The animations are dull, and many fights can be clicked through, at least on normal difficulty. Spiders develops too slowly with the game mechanics, because the setting is great, they've moved forward incredibly with the graphics, but something's wrong with the combat and the missions themselves. It's like a lot of things are being thrown at each other. Similarly, exploration practically doesn't do anything. We're supposed to run around the map with question marks, extending the game this way, but we often find junk in those chests. Boring. This game, like Banishers, should be shorter. And some kind of teleport, because running around these repetitive big maps is tiring. And I'm writing this as a fan of Spiders studio because I've played all of their games except Faery. Sad.

'Twas fun

I'd give this game a 7/10, but I'll round up because I did truly enjoy playing it. I think that it's more of a single playthough kind of game and you don't really get that much from additional playthroughs. Greedfall's biggest strength is the world itself. The 17th century fantasy aesthetic is very cool and some of the character designs are amongst my all time favorites (especially the guardians). However, I think that they fall a bit short with some of the themes and whilst I enjoyed most of my party, some of the characters felt pretty flat. Also, "things are about to get dicey," and "a bit of poison on my blade, and let's go" will probably be stuck in my head until my dying day. I think someone may have made a mod to fix that though. Overall, this is still a very solid game and I think that Spiders does deserve your money. I'm excited to see what they will make next!
