Greedfall developed by Spiders was released nearly 5 years ago. With Greedfall 2: The Dying World around the corner, I figured now would be a great time to jump in and try out this RPG.

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.
This brings me back to lockdown memories, when my ex gf was working from home and I was cleaning my PS backlog. I was happy. 😢 waiting for Greedfall 2!
This was the comment that convinced me to play it. I saw a comment elsewhere explaining the mechanics, and I was like "that sounds a lot like Fabel, I miss that" lol
@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.
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.
Very good review. The way you do your review, you remind me of Mortismal, who is one of the best out there. I'll sure to check you other reviews you do in the future!
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.
for me, the game (world) was too big, where "recycling" of everything was too visible, being "only" AA game I could have enjoyed much smaller but more dense playthrough (more similar to for ex. Vampyr)
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.
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
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.
just played the game a min ago and i love its atmosphere but there is a minor unit control issue that really bugs me a lot, when you get the character running and the moment you start looking around with the right stick of the controller and hes stops running and only walks until you align camera and moving directions and that makes him run again, that shit really drives me crazy
@@Bioxidus85 lmao my dude. I'm telling you this is a you issue. It's something you have done. I've beat this game on pc and Xbox multiple times and this is not a problem I've ever faced. This is 1000000% something you've done.
Most of Spider games are mediocre..I wouldn't replay BUT I have finished all of them and had a great time doing that. That's a great skill more companies should acquire 😉
looks like a mindless hack and slash with some looting RNG, with a small amount of cutscenes between. Was hoping for more so it might be a while before i even try it

Wait, GreedFall was 5 years ago? Damn. My perception of time, man.
Tell me about it!
The backlogs we typically have don't help either 😅
Time flies for us gamers
Very solid and fair review

gf2 looks like a downgrade
Greedfall would be an excellent TV show
Check out carnival row. You may enjoy it!
You wish it be going into Amazon new show of the different games but new world is close to greed fall in looks
This brings me back to lockdown memories, when my ex gf was working from home and I was cleaning my PS backlog. I was happy. 😢 waiting for Greedfall 2!
The pause combat to tell ur companions to stealth attack at the same time as u would hv made this so much better.
Also, i really like how this feels like a Fable game. So much here is familiar to me, it really looks like a progression on those games.
This was the comment that convinced me to play it. I saw a comment elsewhere explaining the mechanics, and I was like "that sounds a lot like Fabel, I miss that" lol
This is a fantastic comment. I'm very fond of fable 1-2 and comfortable with the gameplay. If it's that similar I'll love it

Love your reviews! One of my favorite channels.
Thank you! I really appreciate that, I’ve got more on the way and still looking for ways to improve!

Hey I appreciate the comment! Mort is one of my fav reviewers, thanks for watching!
Holy cow sounds similar voice wise but NGU is his own identity, awesome review found the gold edition on sale thanks 🙏🏽.
That's awesome, hope you enjoy the game and thank you for watching!
Mortismal gaming shoutout. Love that guy
Just played Steelrising by them and was really suprised how much i enjoyed it. Thinking about trying this game out now. Looks right up my alley!
I liked Steelrising as well, felt the game overall was on the easier side though!

That’s a fair criticism, the definitely punched above their weight but the reuses of assets became pretty obvious down the stretch
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET DICEY!

baldurs gate 1 and 2 is a cRPG not an aRPG
Thank you, enjoyed your review style and subbed :)
That's great to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed it, looking to get better & better every review :)
Very good review, subbed and looking forward to future ones.

10 games at once?! I can hardly juggle 3 at a time
I need to really get back into this game.. Did they do any meaningful updates since it released?
the kick and shoot build is the superior way to go
Does greedfall hAve endgame after completion?
No
just played the game a min ago and i love its atmosphere but there is a minor unit control issue that really bugs me a lot, when you get the character running and the moment you start looking around with the right stick of the controller and hes stops running and only walks until you align camera and moving directions and that makes him run again, that shit really drives me crazy
I am not experiencing this? I can run and turn corners. If that is what you are talking about.
@@clintflippo917 maybe its the xbox version only issue
@@Bioxidus85played on pc and Xbox, never had this issue. You've done something in your settings.
@@yolobathsalts nah not really im not that clueless

5 years ?! ?! 5 years ?!?! WTF
The older you get the faster time seems too go by sadly
Dude I just looked at greedfall and saw the last trophy I got was from 2020😭. I’m bout to finish cuz I’m still at the beginning 😂
I loved greedfall but I’m scared for the combat in greedfall 2
I love this game! It has that janky ps3 vibes 😅😅😅
Most of Spider games are mediocre..I wouldn't replay BUT I have finished all of them and had a great time doing that. That's a great skill more companies should acquire 😉
Steelrising. A soulslike with easy mode. Well done Spiders. Yeah
I tried it when it was on sale and returned it within minutes. Something about the combat just didnt feel satisfying
👍 Thx
You're welcome!
why does this game reminds me of New World meh
