Poor man's Witcher 2.

I am not saying this game is bad, so bear with me on this one. Greedfall sits somewhere between Mass Effect, Dragon Age 2 and Witcher 2, being closest to the latter in my opinion. It has an original and well-built world, good theme I feel is underused in games, interesting story with high point in the middle of it, good voiceacting, decent graphics and medium music. It has teambuilding elements, which I usually adore, but here they feel a little bit artificial. I wouldn't call this game bad in any aspect, but it isn't great in any either. This game consists of 80% running, 17% talking and 3% combat. Of those, talking is very good, combat is mediocre (as a spellcaster at least) and running is unbearable when you don't realise you can use the closest globe/campfire to insta-travel instead of following the quest marker. I played this game at 1440p ultra and it wasn't pretty. Facial expressions are particularly weak, breaking the immersion a little during dialogues. Cities are unpopulated and overall feel empty and buildings have exactly the same layouts. It's a low - budget production, and it shows. Overall, I like that kind of games where talking takes the center spot. I am rating it 7/10: it's a good, old-school RPG with lower budget than you might be used to. If you already finished Witcher 3 with DLC's - go ahead and try this one.

Better than Bound by Flame, but.....

Decent game and way better than the last Spiders game I played, Bound by Flame, which was pretty abysmal. This game feels a lot like Dragon Age Inquisition but with a better combat system which reminds me of the Witcher 3. I think this one is worth 7/10, but I'm subtracting a point owing to the following somewhat janky features: - Really dated facial animations (game should maybe have been called "Teethfall" instead?), though you tend to get used to them after a while. - The game has a day/night cycle but NPCs just go about their routines 24 hours a day. Merchants will still bark at you to come and check out their wares when you run past their stalls in the dead of night, some townsfolk just stand around staring blankly and all the NPCs who walk around occasionally get stuck on obstacles which they continue walking against until you bump against them. - No children to be seen anywhere, even in native villages, which ruins immersion somewhat. - Copy/pasted interiors for all the major buildings, like the governors' mansions and the native chieftain huts. If this sort of thing really irritated you in Dragon Age 2, then I would recommend you avoid this game. - Companions who repeat the same lines endlessly in combat. - Ridiculous difficulty spikes for some boss battles. - Lots of poorly designed, tedious fetch quests (eg the infamous Logging Camp one) which have you running back and forth repeatedly. In summary, this is worth picking up on sale if you enjoy Bioware type RPGs, but don't expect the experience to be as polished. I think Spiders is a developer that comes up with some great ideas for their games, but tends to fall short in the quality department as they simply don't have the resources to compete with the bigger studios. Hopefully that may change in the future....

Great idea, poor execution

The best thing for me was the diplomatic core - that you speak and act to influence those around you to forge coalition. Another awesome aspect is the way companions complement the story telling by offering their commentaries and stances to curent events, your behavious. The gameplay is mediocre at best, it is not terribly fun to fight and skill system is not particulary revarding. I could omit that had the dialogs and quest been written well - the very core of diplomatic game. Alas the companions were flat and comment only seldomly, without wit or any particular insight. The depiction of science, religion, commerce, indigenous and seafaring were boring cliché. Inspite of all that I finished the game and at times it was real fun to play.

Amazing RPG

This is a fantastic game. It has all the charm of Dragon Age, but it's set in a 15th/16th century setting with amazing detail and story. It also resembles Quest for Glory in its almost-perfect skill tree assignment. Most quests can have up to 5-6 different solutions, based on your abilities, your inclination, your team, etc. It's glorious!! I have been absolutely hooked for about 6 hours now.. and that is a rare treat these days, when most games, here or elsewhere, barely manage to keep me occupied for 2-3 hours before boredom sets in. The game is not combat-centric, it requires you to actually think and come up with solutions, a lot of the quests are detective stories or puzzles and not mindless "kill giant rats" tasks. I am a long time Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age and Mass Effect fan and this game manages to combine all that was glorious about these franchises and put a shiny new coat on it. The atmosphere, the dialogue, the story, the characters, everything is perfect. I rarely give 5-star reviews. This one just deserves 6.

A very solid RPG.

Ever since Mars: War Logs, Spiders have been improving and iterating on the same formula and it shows. This is most likely their best offering yet. Wait for a 50+% discount (happens pretty often) and it's very much worth it. The story is pretty interesting and the amount of spoken dialogue is insane. You will spend hours upon hours listening to people talk in this game, unveiling mysteries, history, deception and intrigue . Most characters are consistent and very well fleshed out. If story and immersion are what you are after, then this game won't disappoint. Combat is OK. Not as bad as many reviews claim IMO. It also greatly depends on the difficulty you pick. I played on the hardest with a melee build and had only a few issues. The camera can sometimes get obstructed by foliage and some enemy moves are dubious at best. Humanoid enemies have a propensity to teleport to you with their every swing (mainly 2-handers) and some animals' attacks have very unclear hitboxes/animations (it swings nowhere near you, you get close to it and you magically get hit anyway). But these issues are pretty minor, happen mostly only when fighting melee and can be worked around (with proper timings and play). My main issue with the game was the pacing. Pretty much from the get-go, the game allows you to visit like 80% of the areas that are in it. This means that you can visit quest areas prepared for a quest 40 hours from where you are. Fight certain enemies very early before they are shockingly revealed later in some main story mission. Leads to scenarios where everyone is gasping and in amazement at something you already met and killed before etc. I would actually have preferred if this was more limited. Open up an area only when a quest leads you there. What I did was explore everything I could before doing any story missions and most areas had pretty much nothing of relevance in them until a quest led me there. I greatly enjoyed my time with the game and give it an 8.5/10.
