GreedFall Reviews
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.
Like many first titles in a newly born series, GreedFall is a game that features a great idea with a flawed execution. At times, it feels that the game is unsure of what it wants to be and what exactly it wants to show to the players, which brings out its imperfections. I hope that overtime Spiders has a chance to iron out the identity of the game and manage to withstand the weight of the expectations that will now fall into their laps.
Overly ambitious, GreedFall fails more than it seems to succeed, yet the games heart and Spiders passion shines through, making the game an enjoyable experience.
A compelling action-RPG adventure with a unique narrative, impressive artstyle and strong writing that shines brightest in its quests.
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.
Unlike most studios in the industry which seem to deliver products that consistently fail to meet expectations and the hype, Spiders seems to manage getting better and better with each subsequent release. GreedFall is one of their better titles, if not the best, but it still falls somewhat short of being a truly great game. With that said, it's by no means bad, and it's certainly ambitious. If you find the subject matter intriguing, consider giving it a shot - it has lots to offer in terms of role-playing and storytelling, but fails in other areas.
There's a lot to like in GreedFall. It ticks many of the most important boxes an RPG should. It makes you care about the characters and the world, all while giving you a sense that you can actually impact those things.
GreedFall certainly left me wanting more; while its story may be a bit shallow in places, it’s still got a lot of depth, a fluid, intuitive combat system and enough morally-grey missions to bring me back to Teer Fradee some time soon. Forget waiting for the next Dragon Age, GreedFall is an impressive debut for what could well become a classic series.
The game represents the quality of those medium-term games, current AA, so full of talent and that we have so missed. So do not hesitate and enter the mysterious lands of Teer Fradee, because it will surely take over you.

GreedFall is easily Spiders at its finest, and fans of the Western RPG genre can easily take enjoyment in its well-written and voice acted narrative as well as the solid combat when it comes to gameplay. It's by no means perfect, with a few hiccups here and there, but in GreedFall's case the great far outweighs the bad to carry the torch of a genre that has lacked a decent entry in quite some time. Extremely decent, and a must-play for any fan of the studio.
Finally, they did it! New game from Spiders is huge, exotic and very komplex. Great choice for true RPG fans.

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.

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, 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 is the biggest example of the evolution of its developer, that created a great action RPG for a market lacking in good options at the moment. With an interesting storyline, deep RPG system and pleasing combat, Spiders' game showcases qualities that should please Dragon Age orphans, even though there is still a lot of refinement left for an even better experience.

Greedfall, the latest release from Spiders, reminds you of some of the best classic RPGs, but it fails when it comes to mixing all those classic gameplay mechanics with new and modern ones. Some very good RPG elements and great story telling are there to enjoy from, but some annoying issues including technical problems, weak combat system and the game's protagonist character design are also there to ruin your joy. In the end, Greedfall can be considered a good RPG, especially for the old school fans, but it is certainly not for everybody.

There are plenty of gripes to contend with in GreedFall, but the striking setting, flexible character building, and rock-solid action RPG core make it easy to recommend to fans of the genre.
GreedFall fails to achieve greatness, but it's the start of something great. With enough time and money, a sequel would be much better since all the downsides of the original are easy to address.
Disappointing is the best word to describe GreedFall.
Spiders has one again crafted a universe that is fresh enough, and offers a compelling narrative. It is only held back a little by the fine tuning that was needed around the combat mechanics, but then that's par for the course with this developer, and the grander ideas have always make the minor technical issues worthwhile.
