GreedFall Reviews
Even though Greedfall it's Spiders best work to date, that doesn't mean it is a flawless action RPG: its quest system and settings are its standouts, but clunky combat and too much repetition are obvious weak points.

Greedfall is a game that prefers to give you a rich, deep and complex world, with an appealing story rather than a technical boast, aspect that is not bad at all either. To all this we must add that it is a game that has cost five million euros, that although it is much more than the previous titles of the study, it is very far from the budgets of other companies. What Spiders has done is create a title for that sector of players that we miss the old Bioware games, the Fable saga or we love the Pillars of Eternity, Divinity, etc. And in my opinion they do really well.

In 2014, I said that despite its issues, I enjoyed Bound by Flame and would like to see a sequel. While not a sequel, Greedfall is a successor to Bound by Flame and every other Spiders game and it’s absolutely their best work yet.
If you go in expecting a budget RPG that had some corners cut here and there, then you’ll probably find a lot to like here as well. I feel like Spiders has finally discovered their niche with GreedFall, and with some more refinement, tweaks, and added depth, I think they will eventually have a winning formula for their next game.
Spider’s latest RPG is one that follows a privileged hero on a quest to cure the disease plaguing his people.
With a great blend of open-world gameplay, visually interesting locations and a detailed branching story, Greedfall places itself as one of the best RPGs of this year.
GreedFall's writing is solid, and the player choice is fun to engage in, but the game needs polish and more meaningful action
It would be misleading to ignore the many borrowed ideas and means to appease long-time fans of past WRPGs and current action RPGs alike.
Greedfall is a very rewarding experience. Just make sure to give it some time and get used to it's style of gameplay. It can be a bit rough around the edges but that does not detract from its deep dialogue system and good storytelling. Most RPG fans will love Greedfall, its a good game and it may even surprise a few people along the way.
A traditional RPG, it would've been much better if it was shorter in length as you'll start to notice a repetitive pattern in monsters, buildings, regions, and characters as you're playing. Despite that, it was an enjoyable experience, a good fit for gamers who enjoy this type of games and can look past its shortcomings.

The combat can leave a little something to be desired and these odd bugs for the NPCs break immersion more than a few times, but overall its an emotional investment I’m happy to make. This may not be exactly the RPG you are looking for, but if you are a fan of complex narrative it should definitely be on your radar.
So far, GreedFall is the best attempt of Spiders to make a remarkable RPG. But that does not mean the game is great. Sometimes Greedfall is good, but sometimes just average.

Greedfall’s fantasy world doesn’t shy away from brushing up against real history, which makes it a refreshing change of pace in a genre filled with medieval fantasy and space operas. And when it comes to creating the kinds of worlds, plots and characters that make an RPG worth caring about, Greedfall does a remarkable job within its smaller scope.
Thanks to GreedFall's impressively diverse roleplaying and combat systems, it's the sort of game that any sort of RPG fan would enjoy, whether they prefer playing as the tough warrior, the cunning rogue, the wise spellcaster, or any combination of those archetypes they can think of. It may hew closely to the template that BioWare created many years ago, but GreedFall also proves there's still a lot of potential for expansive single-player RPGs that put player choice first.
Greedfall, latest Spiders game, is definitely one of the best action RPGs in recent years. Of course it isn't flawless and perfect, but it's very enjoyable and well-made. Combat is entertaining and great, story is engaging with some nice plot twists, And above all, each faction in the game has many missions to do and unique stories to tell. Every decisions you make in the game, affect your relationship with your companions and factions. Voice actors have done a really graet job and made characters more real. Also quests and level designs are very nice and feel completely connected to story. Of course the game has some weaknesses like technical issues, some bugs or Poor Companion AI during challenging fights, but these issues can't stop you from enjoying Greedfall at all. If you are a fan of fantasy Open-World action Rpgs with high amounts of entertaining quests, deep RPG elements and levelling system, great combat and also engaging multi branches story, then Greedfall is a game you should not miss at all.

GreedFall slaps together a beautiful map, complex quests, good decision making, an in-depth setting and a really cool storyline with good character building. There are some technical issues and a surprisingly dull beginning – don't let them discourage you!

GreedFall has some of the most compelling characters and storylines so far this year. Unfortunately, they're buried by dated technology and a serious lack of polish.
Greedfall is not an RPG that is intended to play the leading roles of the genre. Limited as well by its technique, its fights and its relatively remote progression, although intriguing and therefore fascinating, the title still has a beautiful soul, shaped by its universe, its artistic direction, its writing, its themes, its music . So many attractive arguments that counterbalance its weaknesses, making Greedfall a game that can not be recommended to the greatest number but deserves attention to at least judge the effect of its charms.

Ultimately Greedfall is an OK game. It is neither good nor bad. It is however the best game Spiders have made to date, and that gives me hope that they do have a great game in them. I just hope they stop trying to emulate and instead try to innovate.
