GreedFall

I picked this up to have something new to play during home quarantine. I have to say that the story was very well written. The game itself needs some polish, but for a new studio, this is quite good. The game plays very much like something you'd expect from the Risen series. Anyway, if you enjoy a well-written story for an RPG and don't require an open-world style system, you should enjoy this one.

I rarely bother to do reviews, but i do read a lot of them here on GOG as the reviewers tend to be a much better educated lot certainly better than the trolls you find on the much hated and now failing Steam. I actually had Greedfall in my "wishlist" for sometime, waiting for it to come to its senses and go sub £25. After reading several others saying the UI and control system was a pain to use, i did hesitate, for a few months longer, then GOG being the great and generous guys that they are (Again unlike the much hated Steam) Reduced it to under £25 so one lonely afternoon i clicked on Buy and after a 4 hour download (my pathetic Broadband's fault not GOG) I started to play. Ok so the now expected great graphics and cutscenes start, but after half an hour of monotonous combat (very basic and repetitive) and a cringingly boring storyline (all been done before) I was compelled to contact GOG for only the second time in 6 years and ask for a Full Refund! that's how boring and basic I found this "Game" I did play for 2 hours to give it a chance in the hope of something new and interesting turning up, but after 2 1/2 hours i found myself playing Skyrim to get a fix etc. To GOG's eternal credit they refunded without hesitation (game makers beware) and i elected to have the refund sent into GOGs great wallet fund system, as none of this is their fault of course and i want GOG to continue to grow and thrive, proving their Philosophy Works, and Good triumphs over Evil (did i mention how much i hated the much hated steam?) Stay safe have a great GOPG gaming week

There's some plot twists here and there, the factions are pretty well made and the world is very fun to explore and look at, especially since all the fauna and flora is so nicely colored and modeled, but quests turn this into a walking simulation sometimes. check my full review on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJW78w7kon0

Overall, I quit the game before I got any depth into the plot, but the experience was so mediocre, every quest can feel like it is resolved the same way; fight, bribe, spend rep on certain party member interactions or use the charisma skill to skip an encounter. Another issue I had is how all npcs feel far too similar. An egregious example is the introduction for a party member, who acts confused about the titles Kings and Queens yet the characters proceed to refer to this regardless of whether they were introduced to this at all. Overall if you don't mind a game that includes the tired recycled approach with a plot that doesn't feel consistent in theming or approach, with a too large map and too much running around playing a messenger then give this a shot. Otherwise you might enjoy Vampyr, another action rpg that I think is better in every category.

I just finished this game. It was an amazing masterpiece in my mind. The art work and style were perfect. The settings was a great placement and the story was a purposeful thought provoking graphic novel. It does not mean that it does not have it’s flaws but the greatness outshines the small flaws that this game had. Very few minor bugs during my entire play through. And near the end the game does become quite tedious. But after finishing I can see why it took this route. If you are thinking of playing and you love Role Playing Games, then I highly recommend this game.
