GreedFall

I can't really recommend this one. While the under-utilised historical influences are pleasant and the voice acting is strong, the negatives outweigh the positives.

One of the first things to draw my attention was the basic errors in subtitles' spelling and grammar. Two examples I noted were the misspelling 'sollicit', and the use of 'rebel rousers' instead of 'rabble rousers' - amateurish, easily correctable mistakes.

Some of the side-quests are fairly interesting, but a large amount of your questing time will be spent running between NPCs. This has driven me from other games in the past, and it's done so once again with GreedFall.

The lore has some potential, but I don't think it is introduced very effectively to the player. The term 'lore dump' would be an apposite description of what the player is subjected to in the first minutes of gameplay. A more informative opening cinematic would help here.

The combat is serviceable but becomes repetitive fairly quickly, and dialogue sequences are consistently verbose.

All things considered, the interaction of 17th-century New World and European fantasy aesthetics is very refreshing, but as an RPG GreedFall quickly falls flat.

Greedfall takes us on a long journey through a stylized fantasy universe inspired by 17th century America. The overpopulated and corrupt Old World of Malichor is destroyed by a mysterious plague. Its inhabitants find refuge in the New World, the island of Teer Fradee, where the locals live in harmony with nature and are allegedly full of treasures and other secrets. As our conquistadors go there and explore, their relationship with the natives becomes increasingly strained.

During the game, we control the protagonist whose main mission is to find a cure for a disease that is destroying the Old World. In the adventure, we must make every effort not to put either the natives or the colonizers in too much danger. The decisions we make affect not only the distribution of power on the island, but also how your history will unfold. GreedFall starts with character creation, including gender selection and a few basic traits. The producers have included a development system that doesn't divide the character into classes. This means that more than a hundred skills can be unlocked, allowing you to tailor the protagonist to your individual play style.

The main elements of the story are quests, which can be completed in various ways. While there's nothing to stop problems that arise in missions from being solved by force, stealth or relying on your hero's diplomatic skills often yields better results in missions. The path we choose and which side we support in a conflict affects not only our reputation, but also the local geopolitical situation. In addition, the choices we make have an impact on which of the adventure's potential companions will decide to join us and their subsequent attitude towards the protagonist. It is possible to build relationships with our companions that cause both romance and hostility.

When it comes to battles with enemies, both humans and monsters called Guardians stand in our way. In combat, we use weapons and firearms, which we can upgrade using an extensive crafting system, and the same goes for armoring elements. Magic also comes in handy. As for the game's graphics, the three-dimensional GreedFall graphics are pleasing to the eye. While working on the visuals, the developers modeled their work on baroque artworks. Greedfall offers an average of 40-50 hours of gameplay with all side content. In addition, there are a total of five different endings.

Fantastic game. I went in having no idea what to expect but was still blown away. The length of the game was great, it never felt like it was dragging on so I was constantly and consistently enjoying it. Several games give you way too much to do, quest-wise, leaving you overwhelmed. At no point in this game did I feel like that. The squad you put together has diverse character with different personalities and all were great additions to complement your character and playing style. The story was original and fresh complete with several good twists and turns. It drew me in completely and I was always looking forward to turning on the Xbox and playing it. Yes, the animation was kinda wonky sometimes but never detracted from the legit quality of the game. I'm just surprised it doesn't have a higher rating overall.

Greedfall is a good RPG with great visuals and great writing! It's an open world game with a good story and some of the locations are look really well and other are copy and paste and the combat is kinda weird. The game gives you 3 different ways of combat (Guns, magic and crafting) the game also use the same NPCs for so there isn't a lot of variety. Your main character is customizable with gender and appearance. The game follows a faction System where depending on your choices they will like you or hate you. And the game also gives you very likeable followers as well. And there is always different approaches to every mission (going in guns blazing, stealth, Diplomacy) overall very good game I really enjoyed it but very underrated and not a lot of things to do after the game Is over.

First off, this game is very rough around the edges in many ways but, all in all, it's still a fun experience. Good world building and decent character development. Cringy at times but still worth the playthrough.
