Okay, but certainly not great
Overall, Greedfall isn't a bad game. But it could have been so much more. The game ticks a lot of boxes of what I like to see in an RPG: a main story with unexpected turns, decisions that influence the overall story and lead to different endings, interesting and varied characters (including companions), diverse side quests, character development, a (mostly) open world to explore, monsters and humans to fight, several competing factions, a crafting system, too name a few. So, why only three stars, then? My answer is that while Greedfall has many features, it's not doing anything in a great way. For example, the main story has many somewhat unexpected turns, but the writers always hint at it 2-5h before, so that when the turn arrives it's not really surprising anymore. All the side quests are written in a way that maximizes the drama in every imaginable way, it's just not credible anymore. Everytime something "unexpected" is going to happen, the background music switches to a "suspense" theme 10-20 seconds before, so (again) the surprise is spoiled. The inventory management is clunky. As a maxed-out mage, I only have 4 different spells/skills (besides the two standard attacks), and no way to deal fire or poison damage (no, there's no "fireball" skill) to use my opponents' weaknesses. The building interiors all have the same room layouts and feel pretty much the same. But, above all, the game lacks atmosphere. To me, the game feels a bit sterile. It got me somewhat hooked to the story, but not to the game itself. The voice-acting is okay, but overall the emotions displayed by the characters remain shallow. "My husband/wife died? Oh, I'm so sad! I'll prepare the burial now." And the game goes on. I was seriously considering not finishing the game. So, in summary: Nothing about the game is done really *badly*, but nothing is done really well, either. It's a shame, I think the game had the potential to be something really amazing with some more polishing.
