If mediocrity was a game

Greedfall would be its name I really struggle hard whether to give this game two stars or three. Nothing about this game really struck me as good, yet nothing about this game struck me as really bad either, apart from maybe the environments which felt very uninspiring and copy-and-pasted, especially the interiors of buildings. Across three cities you find the exact same structures and interiors despite the fact that the three cities each belong to a different civilization or nation-states. They could have done more to set the three cities apart, now the difference can only be spotted in the armors that they wear. The wildlands are none the better. Combat is servicable, but nothing groundbreaking. I was very disappointed that with firearms you don't even have to aim at all, it acts like an ability you have to activate with one button and it fires and aims automatically. This is not very engaging. Combat is also very unbalanced, with melee probably being the least powerful and magic and gunpowder being downright broken. If I ever was in a melee fight I couldn't win with, I just blased me way through it with gunpowder. It trivialized almost every fight even on harder difficulties. The quests are decent, but many of them have you walking between two points, sometimes repeatedly. This would have been less of an issue if the environs were pretty, but as mentioned above that isn't really the case. The companion quests are good, but I felt that the main quest is a bit too predictable and Spider really didn't take any chances with it. The narrative suffers as a result. The voice acting ranges from decent to good, with many recognizable voices from other games such as the Witcher 3, Vampyr, Call of Cthulhu and so on. Music is decent, but not memorable. None of the characters really struck me as very interesting, and so I will probably not remember them a year from now. Consider buying only if you really have an RPG itch to scratch and you have nothing else to play.

Not a bad game but very poorly optimized

Reader beware, I did not actually beat the game. Only played two hours after the tutorial town. My biggest gripe was the extreme cpu usage even if I was slightly above the minimum requirement and playing on low, causing painful amount of stuttering and slowdowns. I've however read that this is more of a system to system thing. That aside I saw some potential, the combat felt fluid and involved but outside of that the quests were bare bones and I started falling asleep as I ran in and looted npcs magically glowing boxes without any real complaint. The story of being an explorer in a foreign land seemed interesting yet the characters was lacking, with barely any of them feeling memorable, not even your quirky cousin. I'd say buy this game if a more tame da 2 interests you and you want to support a smaller dev but don't expect anything amazing.

Flawed but enjoyable

I wanted to play a decent RPG similar to Dragon Age or The Witcher but without having to put 80+ hrs into it. So Greedfall seemed to be the right choice. And I did have quite a good time with it. But as mentioned already in several other reviews, the repetitive gameplay, clunky controls, lack of NPC/enemy variety and recycled environments do leave a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Still, the good outweighs the bad. The story is interesting and the main characters are convincing enough to make you feel for them. The weapon and amour variety is pretty good too (with plenty of details). I found myself spending quite some time with just changing/assigning outfits and crafting. I mean, protection is good but you also gotta look the part. The soundtrack is subtle and fitting. I often get annoyed by combat music which was not the case here, as it's never too obtrusive. Some quests dragged on for too long due to the sort of rinse and repeat vibe (and the aforementioned lack of variety). The story changes but the formula is often the same in the sense that you do a lot of running back and forth between 2-3 NPCs and that you usually visit the same places over and over again. Still, you need to give kudos to Spiders since they make up for most of the repetitive gameplay with good storytelling. The romance part is pretty nice too. However, seeing your protagonist fool around with their love interest in full amour was a bit ridiculous and spoiled the moment for me. The world is generally beautiful but a lot of it feels samey. The interiors of the buildings in the three major cities all look alike even though you're dealing with three different cultures (excluding the natives). Often NPCs just stand around and do absolutely nothing, which gives certain areas a rather lifeless and sometimes even creepy feel. All flaws aside, Greedfall is a solid game considering the budget and I'm curious to see what the studio does next. I'd even be up for a sequel.

Easily in the Top Game of 2019.

I've currently put over 70 hours into the game (still not finished with the story) and I will admit right out of the stables that it isn't the best (RPG) game ever made. The combat is fine, but simplistic once you figure out how it works. Spells from enemies do far more damage than yours do, but I prefer melee and bombs so it's not a big deal to me personally. Where the game fails is that while it is open world, it's got a more linear path throughout it. I was playing Greedfall between Witcher 3 replays and I noticed the stark contrast between the open world and quests. Greedfall quests weren't as plentiful or intriguing, but they weren't endless fetch quests either so it had versatility in quest design and how you wanted to complete them which was nice. It's open world was closer to Witcher 2, but far more open than Mass Effect 3. The world is open in the sense that you have a large open space to traverse, but once you have fleshed it out you can start finding where it became more linear. NOW! Where the game shines is that it handles really well. I play it on PC and I don't have a beast of a machine anymore, but I can easily handle high-ultra settings and not have a single issue (outside of 3 dialogue scenes where the face was showing the geometric design and it wasn't "flesh"). Greedfall's story is pretty interesting. It's a new take and it allows you to craft how you want the story to pan out however you wish. You can side with the tree huggers, the Deus Vult bros, the towlies, everyone or simply piss everyone off. It's a nice feel. Aggravating/pleasing factions loses/provides you gear. The armor customization is nice in that deciding how you want to upgrade armor changes how the armor piece looks depending upon what you choose. It's a nice touch. Is it really simplistic? Yes. Good? Yes. Enemy placement in the open world makes sense. You don't have humans just running out at you randomly. They'll be found around camps or along paths and the same with animals.

NICE

This game is pretty good not perfect but decent. Graphics, story, and voice acting are nice but combat can sometimes feel cheap when enemies knock you over 12 times in a row. Plus there is few bugs and the controls are kinda bad. There is a lot to do though and most of the side quests are well done and interesting. My first run took me just under 60 hours so if u pick it up on sale i think its absolutley worth it.
