Godfall Reviews
While Godfall did a great job of showing off how well games will look on the PS5, the lack of a lengthy campaign paired with repetitive endgame content really hurt a game and left me asking “what could have been”. With games now expecting us to shell out 70 USD for new games, we need to start holding these game studios to higher standards. Especially in this current economic environment with Covid-19 and not having a lot of extra income, I would have much rather spent my money else where to get the value of content I deserved.
Godfall has something to offer only to those who are satisfied with a good battle system. Its basic gameplay, although it does not attempt something radically new, is generally well executed. But the rest of the package, unfortunately, is characterized by trivial and poorly executed choices that turn it into a, not necessarily bad, but, completely

Godfall is generally a good and respectable title. The Counterplay Games studio work, perhaps more than anything, fell victim to the excitement and hype before its release and failed to show off. Godfall has a not-so-interesting cliché and narrative, an engaging and addictive combat system, a world full of loot, and beautiful graphics. If these, or the term "Luther Slasher" in general, catch your eye, be sure to give Godfall a chance; especially if you have a plan to enter the game with a friend.

Godfall drives home the dungeon crawl mantra on an unfortunately small scale, content wise. It does, however, boast a fun, albeit different, combat system, mountains of monsters, exciting minibosses, and actual boss fights. Godfall as a whole is a beautiful example of what can be accomplished through the glory of stunning environments, combat and gear. It offers different players different ways of playing, edging them all together into one cohesive, god-killing machine. All in all, it largely depends on the gamer themselves. Can you commit to grinding a would-be god out of existence?
Honestly, I would wait for this one on sale if you wanted to buy it. It’s priced the same as other major titles but, in my opinion, ain’t worth it.
Godfall is a pretty game but features stale gameplay that just gets repetitive after a while. It lacks depth and fun loot to collect. The concept of the looter/slasher isn't bad, just not fleshed out enough.

Regardless of how satisfying the combat may be, it's only somewhat of a redeeming component to prevent the game from being a total letdown. Godfall has looting and it has slashing, to be sure, but you end up wading through so much to enjoy those parts. Perhaps loot fiends will get hooked on the endgame loop enough to stick around for a while, but what waits at the end is hardly worth the time it takes to get there.
Godfall's incredible visuals and stylish combat lift up an otherwise repetitive and bland hack n' slash adventure that lacks depth.
Godfall had a lot going for it. It was unveiled as the very first PS5 release, adopted the moniker of a looter slasher, and looked to be the equivalent of Warframe when it first launched on PS4. Unfortunately, it fails to stand out as a must-play killer app for the newly released PS5. Boredom quickly sets in as you run around gorgeous yet incredibly lifeless locales, embark on tiresome quests, and get treated to a storyline that’s entirely forgettable. Godfall’s quality combat mechanics, healthy offering of cool looking loot, and slick looking Valorplate armors are sadly stuck within a lackluster shell of a game.
One of the most boring triple-A games this year so far.

Godfall offers great combat and a variety of weapons, but without proper expansion. The creators have not exploited the potential of the created world and may no longer be given the opportunity to show its true character.

The game should've initially released as an early access game to be able to grow through the feedback of gamers who love this genre. However, the game was below expectations with minor fun elements but felt empty. As a new generation launch game we will hardly remember it in the future, unless it got the support it needs and tweaked to be a better game.

Godfall is such an unpleasant experience it's difficult for me to find anything to like. Occasionally, it flirts with just being a mediocre snooze, but then you hit an aggravating boss fight that reminds you of how poorly it was designed. It would take an entire shift in tone and genre to salvage anything offered.
Godfall is a looter slasher game that successfully delivers a robust combat system alongside gorgeous next-gen graphics. Unfortunately, it fails in utilizing all the potential of story settings. It also gets boring and repetitive near the end. It doesn’t add anything special to the action genre. It is not a bad game; neither is it a great game. Godfall is just an OK game with really astonishingly good graphics.

At the end of the day, Godfall is a game with a dull story, boring world, uninteresting loot, and simplistic combat, but it looks pretty and feels nice to play. It's not a bad game for a quick playthrough, but it's not something that is going to keep your attention for very long, despite theoretically being designed for loot-grinding fun. Considering the new game price of $70, it's difficult to recommend Godfall, even if you're very hungry for a new game for your PS5. Once it comes down in price, it'll be easier to justify picking it up for a mindless hack-and-slash weekend, but at the moment, it doesn't do enough to really be worthwhile.
Many promises so that in the end nothing good is found. Godfall is an unpleasant experience and far below any expectation for a launching game in a new console. It is not a must have on a PS5 and it is difficult to recommend the game in any situation.

Godfall is all style and no substance. The next-gen lick of paint certainly makes it an exquisite looking stunner, however, at its core is some lacklustre gameplay and some genuinely lethargic missions. The boss battles are exciting and momentarily engaging, and the art style incredible, but I'm left feeling more than a little underwhelmed and unfulfilled.
While primarily Godfall is a fun game, if you're planning to play for solo content it may not be worth the full 60 USD at launch. Godfall mixes gameplay mechanics from a few popular titles, but doesn't do anything ground breaking. The game is great to play in co-op and will be best suited for those looking forward to multiplayer content.
The combat feels good, but that doesn't stop it from being an aggressively mediocre game that lifted most of its gameplay ideas from better titles. Play those instead.
