GreedFall

It's a good semi open-world RPG with a fresh historical setting and well-written political story. The world and political games were interesting at first, but I started to lose interest after about 15 hours. The fights started to feel repetitive and the gameplay just wasn't that engaging.

There’s ambition, but I Quit playing from how uninterested and bored I was as I went a long.

Knockoff Dragon Age, but in all the rights ways.

It takes heavy inspiration from BioWare and it’s companion mechanics but that formula has never got old to me so more of it is just more fun. Decisions hold weight and it’s nice feeling like your political decisions matter. It’s not a super original idea but it does very well with what others have done before

Greedfall is very disappointing.

For the time I played, I really like the world building and the story, but the game part of the game kept me from sticking with it.

I played as a mage, and when I ran out of mana I simply had no means of attacking at all. I just had to run around whatever battle area I was in until my mana recharged just enough to attack again. To top it off, my companions would constantly let me know literally every time my mana was gone like not attacking anymore wasn't a dead giveaway. They'd tell me to drink a potion even when I didn't have any potions. When I did get potions, I'd want to save them for bigger battles, so it's annoying and feels insulting to my intelligence to be told to use a potion everytime my mana hits 0. This was a constant loop I had to endure every single battle encounter.

I also found a lot of quests boring as fuck. One example that comes to mind is the quest where this trade employee will tell you something critical about your past you didn't know about. The quest is literally just running from point a to point b to point c to point d and so on for an hour until she tells you the thing that you probably already picked up from context clues.

It's a shame I couldn't finish the game, because I was really kinda liking the story, worldbuilding, and art direction, but I could not force myself to gruel through it anylonger.

Fun B-rated BioWare game! Excited to see what Spider keeps putting out! Maybe Steel Rising next?

Starts well but loses steam quickly due to endless running from one place to another and back again. Story is fantastic with intriguing characters but the low budget is clearly evident in the poor gameplay. Only managed to get a third of the way through until boredom set in. Real shame but will definitely keep eye out for the sequel.
