    Very solid and fair review
    I'm currently finishing my first play through right now, with the final stretch in sight (on 'Where madness goes').
    Really enjoyed the game and looking forward to seeing how my ending pans out.
    Even more so, now very much so excited about GF2 Early Access about to drop next month.

    Greedfall is a good B to B+ that sits in my favorites. It scratches the Bioware/Witcher itch if you're looking for an action-rpg with lots of character moments and don't mind guns in your fantasy. If you can get it on sale, I highly recommend it.

      @Zaron_Gaming It's the same seamless transition of magic-melee-ranged that the Fables had, Kingdoms of Amalur felt like that too. Especially holding down the left trigger for the magic.

    I remember playing this ages ago and the soundtrack for this game is phenomenal! Not every track is a masterpiece, but hearing the motif of the main theme from GF1 in GF2’s theme but with lyrics is master class music writing. The language they invented for this world is so unique as well! There’s a video essay somewhere that discusses the language they wrote but it’s very thought out and sounds gorgeous.

  • @erdbeerscherge

    Thank you for this review.
    Been lurking quite a time now near this game, and I finally think, this might be something I enjoy. My first RPG I played through was GOTHIC 2 by Piranha Bytes (R.I.P. :( ), and also had a blast playing through the first RISEN game. Came to GREEDFALL simply by searching stuff, that scratches that certain Piranha Bytes-itch. Can't place my finger on it - maybe it's the intricate world building, the more down-to-earth, rough tone, the Jank(TM) ofc lol, but also a loving eye for unexpected details.
    Tried one of their most recent games, ELEX, and while I loved the gameplay and overall athmosphere of the game, I absolutely hated the jetpack, since it undermined rewarding exploration to a major degree. Hearing now, that GREEDFALL has you exploring everything on foot, is music to my ears.
    Cheers, and Happy New Year!

    I just started it and because I sucked at the witchers 2 combat tutorial but loved the Witcher 2 I kept playing this even though a failed the combat tutorial. It’s dope so far. I like boats, magic pirates, islands, and big drama show.

    Greedfall is an amazing game, I loved it from begining to end, but i just saw the new Greedfall II and the game gone backwards, don't like their new combat system and it become more a old ARPG like baldur's gate I and II

  • @df6597

    I'm going to go replay this game after I return Greedfall 2. I need to wash the bad taste out of my mouth with something less bad. Greedfall 1 isn't great, but there's very few options in that time period, and it is overall pretty fun despite its shortcomings. It kind of reminds of a mix of old school Gothic games and later Dragon Age.

    Good review. I'm about halfway through. Started like 2-3 years ago and just stopped after a few months (I'm a slow player, always playing 10 games at once) But I'm gonna pick it back up here after Space Marine but before Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. That way I'm ready for Greedfall 2 release. I've always enjoyed Spyder games. I like the Mars Logs one.

    I really did try with Greedfall, but i absolutely hated it. Every interior looked identical to the last, character models were horrendous - and the rest of the game didnt make up for that, it was too distracting. Too many skill trees to piss about in, it just bored me to death. Also an "rpg" ish game where you cant jump whenever you like is just a pain in the ass
