"15 to 16 hours at a go." Man, you're a trooper. Putting in the time to bring us reviews that aren't two minutes long or filled with sponsored bullcrap.
Wish I could play games for this long. Usually I get two or maybe three hours in, and I start itching to do something else. Short attention span, I guess.
@@Mr_Saxon not short attention span necessarily. It depends on what the something else is that you end up doing. If it's other media consumption, then it's just because you have a vast array of options to pick and doing one specific thing causes you to worry that you might miss out on something else.
What gives you that feeling? Origins and Odyssey were great AAA RPGs and another AAA Rpg is coming out that's most likely going to be awesome: Cyberpunk
@@leeworley6727 I really don't expect Dying Light 2 to be a great RPG, Dying Light has always been more about killing zombies in creative ways with parkour.
@@alexoelkers2292 He's probably got that idea, because Chris Avellone from lead writer of Obsidian games, like the real FO games. Is credited to be in on writing the story for DL2, and TH-cam clips have shown a dialogue wheel with choices, reminiscent of FONV, when speaking with other characters. So maybe?
Someone trying to put on the shoes Bioware so blatantly threw out of the window ? Actual new single-player RPG ? Not only new franchise, but also fresh non-depleted world setting ? These guys deserve attention !
@GiRayne I think he meant the setting, i.e. colonial, renaissance, pirate fantasy. Which I agree with, basically all fantasy games are set in 14th century level tech, crossbows and plate armor but no firearms.
Can't throw away something that you never had to begin with. Most of all bioware staff are mostly new/ had something to really do with the older game projects that made them. Most the staff join in around about mass effect 3 development.. Especially the writers and leaders from the other games.
Meh. While I do think the game looks great and the medievalist in me is super into the "historical but subtly fantastical" weapon and armour designs, I'm still kind of burnt out on Western European fantasy setting. There's six other continents to choose from.
Let's remember Spiders had at most 30 people working on this with a steady staff of 20 knocking this out....truly crazy the skill and dedication...was a preorder for me from the get go
I've loved Technomancer and, though they didn't have the budget to do everything they probably wanted to, you could see there was genuine passion there and a love for old-school bioware-style rpgs.
Dragoner Productions they have improved however they still aren’t Witcher level as far as there gamed quality. It’s an improvement based off there last game and hopefully they continue to improve. I hope they use this to expand there studio and hopefully make a really good next game
They probably need a bigger company to buy them like Bethesda or bioware so that they can perfect their games with a bigger budget. But then they'll just ruin them with their shitty ways so double edged sword.
I’m quite literally heaving a sigh of relief. I so wanted this game to be good. For the same reasons as we all did. I rarely disagree with you, man. If it’s a buy from you it’s a buy from me. Hallelujah.
you dont have to max out any talent except for maybe lockpicking (and even then you can still go to the blacksmith and give your armor certain talents such as vigor, lockpicking and science. always have everything else on lvl 2 because once you get closer with your companions (and achieve the "friendly" status) they will all give +1 to a certain talent so whenever you need a 3 point talent to access a place or whatever you can just swap to that companion or use the gear that you crafted and you're good to go. just a small tip so new people dont their waste talent points
@HardWarUK A game with a publisher is not an indie game. Games like Pillars of eternity, Divinity original sin, Grim dawn and hollow knight are textbook indie games.
@@mihailodjordjevic2191 These days indie seems to be considered small team. In the end I don't care about labels of what a developer is. A good game or interesting game is that no matter if they have a publisher or are a big or small team.
Funny story.... I finished the first game in 30min :)))). The guy in the heavy red armor that kidnapped your sister was waiting for you to talk to him and continue the main quest. So i went into the forest and agroed a lot of NPC and took them to him thinking he will drop something. After 10sec BOOM he died and I got the final cut scene and credits :)))))))
A guilty pleasure of a game. Combining gear was oddly satisfying. Dual wielding animation was cool, and some of the armor sets were great. The voice acting was so bad that I adored it.
@@Terok_Nor deadly premonition falls into a similar category for videogames as the room does for movies. It certainly has it's 'so bad it's good' qualities but I love the game for its weird characters, unusual plot and quaint feel. That being said the gameplay was very janky, but two worlds seemed to have little to no redeeming qualities (though I haven't played it, just what I've heard). Deadly premonition had qualities that made it more fun/memorable for me than many triple A titles.
I’ve only played the second one. It was the biggest piece of shit I have ever played. I rented it and had it back in less than an hour and claimed it wouldn’t play so I could grab something else
It's so important to support these smaller studios especially considering that AAA gaming is nothing but a nest of microtransactions and anti consumer practice!
Janky games can be diamonds in the rough. Like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Kingdom Come, Deadly Premonition and Godhand. Even the Witcher started off as eurojank, then grew into 3 being one of the GOAT rpgs.
Eh those reviews have their place. Sometimes I love a nice, detailed review, other times I enjoy just a quick summary of the quality; pros and cons. Lots of those reviews also have long, detailed written reviews so I dont see an issue with them either way.

BRO I ONLY COME TO YOU FOR PC REVIEWS! So far every time I've come to your channel and I was interested in a game but just wasnt sure on buying, you have been spot on! So until we having different of opinions on games, I'm coming here for my pc reviews!👍👍👍👌👌👌
This is kind of the game I’ve always been wanting. A role-playing game set in colonial times. I wasn’t sure about it when it first came out, mostly because of the magic and stuff, but now I am planning on picking it up.
"Blunderbuss of Life-Changing Events +10". Seems accurate. When you hit someone with a blunderbuss, their life is sure to change. For the worse. Much, much worse.
Just played it for an hour and I must say it is really awesome. For a little Studio like Spiders pulling off such an awesome work is incredible. It has some small flaws, like its not so fluent like I thought but thats reaaaaally not taking the fun of the gaming. The Story seems nice so far and I liked my first companion directly! I am a man who grew up with older Games like Diablo, Witcher, Origins and stuff so little lags or other stuff doesnt brother me. I am just impressed what a Few people can Do with love and passion for gaming. Hopefully they will become the next CD Projekt Red. We need more Games liket this and I really dont regret the buy. Enjoy it guys!
Probably referring to Witcher 3 game style. I played TW3 to death. Now everytime I see a game like Greedfall I'm thinking... Should or shouldn't I. Mmmm
Okay this is very strange. Your character is the exact same as mine. I'm talking absolute identical twins. Same face, same eyebrows, same hair style, same beard, and even the same eye color.
I have seen this review 4 times now, and I am still impressed by the production of this video. The edits are sharp, the content is high quality, and what's even better is that there is no cut to a sponsor. I'm glad I had added this video to my liked videos and have subscribed to you because of it.
It's like good games don't exist anymore AAA now is just multiplayer cash grabs If your lucky you get maybe a 6 hour campaign that's meaningless Fucken sucks I just wanna be immersed again Not running around a fast paced game worrying about how ima die lol
I'm happy it turned out fairly well. I think a lot of people miss the Bioware that came out with Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect 1. That Bioware is long since gone though, and there's a bit of a vacuum for that type of game maker. I'd rather have jank than whatever it is that Anthem was.
This is the review I was looking for, thorough and considerate. Kotaku said it was bad because it encourages the ideals of colonialism. Friggin’ laughable.
First time here, 1 minute 14 seconds in and I already like this guy. Definitely gonna be sticking around. Was gonna buy the game anyway but I’m sure glad I found this channel.
Love your videos man! Small suggestion; could you add a timestamp for the different categories you cover for your reviews? (graphics, sound, gameplay etc.) :)
I saw this game on the xbox gamestore. I thought it looked fun so i looked for a review of it. I expected to search it and find an IGN review or something along those lines. I didn't find any of them, however I found ACG. I had never watched a video from him before and saw the 22 minute time stamp and thought "Oh man, that's a long video" but after looking at the other videos available i chose to watch this one figuring if it wasn't much about the game I would just stop watching, however he never fell off onto a tangent about anything but the game. It is clear that these videos are well thought out and a lot of time and effort is put into the videos. Any game review i see in the future will be held to the standard of ACG and I wont be surprised when they don't hold up.
This is the review I was waiting for. Game came out, this was the first review on my list. I love Technomancer for what it is, and shared a lot of the same views as you did on it. I don't mind a bit of jank as long as the game has a lot of heart and love behind it. With the progress Spiders is making with each of it's games, you can see the steady improvement they are making with each new titles that comes out. I really hope one day they finally have the budget to push the game they truly want to make. Like a few people mentioned we need more games like this, more titles from smaller studios that are full of heart, more a long the lines of the titles that came out during the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox Era of gaming. Less about the AAA, and making live service style games. Thanks as usual for the indepth and awesome review. Due to the fact we have similar tastes, this is a total buy for me.
Was watching reviews since launch, almost picked it up 2 or 3 times on sales. Got PS Now on black friday offer and this was one of the first games I picked. And it kept me playing! Visuals are interesting at least and the sound design is well done. You review is very much spot on!
One thing I felt while watching this is how accurate the armor and combat stances were. It really feels like the weapons are realistic and practical, and that can not be said about most games where they carry a sword as big as them with 300 spikes randomly placed. Good review, man.
@@headbangerdnb I heard it was super clunky though and Technomancer while improved, felt like zero progress in terms of your characters strength and even your own skill.
SuperBelkar well I only played like 2 hours. Game is out now on steam. But I was able to kill or let some one live. Didn’t change main game but it was fun to decide. Also u can wear clothes to sneak into enemy territory or just sneak in threw the back
@@Spitz643 In Skill Ups review he was very impressed with the role-play aspect. In terms of both character customisation and how it ties together questing, combat, and story. And also noted that the game has numerous branching story paths based on direct conversation interactions, how you build your character with practical and social skills, and through faction reputations.
@@JeremyComans And yet he didn't recommend it because he said it felt like 10 good hours of a game stretched over 30 hours. So we all just need to make our own decisions I guess. By the way I own the game and am playing it currently...and I'm liking it so far.
Most reviews I watched/read say that there's a lot of choice and the game has 4 different endings, not 4 different world states at the end but actual different endings.
I've been playing it for about two hours now, still in the starting area, and I really enjoy what I've seen. I love the fact that you see, immediately, how useful and important your skill choices are. I chose Charisma at character creation and while that has left me feeling a bit blue-balled when it comes to all the locked chests lying around, I was able to talk my way past several situations which I might not have, otherwise. It sounds like this constant reflection on your skill choices continues into the game and that pleases me. Sure, the title is still AA, which means the graphics and some mechanics feel like they belong in 2014, but if one goes in acknowledging that this is a small studio with a smaller budget than a triple-A title, it's entirely forgivable.
I got past the 'Practice' part of the game last night and reached the Island last night, the gameplay really picked up at the first boss fight, where you have to put the escaped beast down...pretty tense fight and alternating between guns and melee was really fun. Certain visuals are great too, building/interior designs look really Impressive, e.g. 3D embossed textures on wallpaper and paintings. It really made stop and appreciate the detail the devs put into these things.
Hey, if a AAA title like Dragon Age 2 can get away with high ratings even while copy pasting EVERY interior (including dungeons mind you), then Greedfall should get a pass on this.
I’ve always been a sucker for the “2nd” rate RPG’s. From 2 worlds to the Risen series I find those smaller studios get more creative with there environments and mechanics although the stories and executions can be rough around the edges.
Been playing the witcher 3 again recently. And the one thing i'm noticing massivly, is that they also reused the same few interiors everywhere. Like EVERYWHERE! :P But those kinds of things dont bother me. I find it quite funny.
Technomancer was clearly a labor of love, but quite amateurish, virtually the same can be said for Bound by Flame. I really hope this turns out better, but not holding my breath.
This reviewer repeats a half dozen times how this is an advancement over their past games. This looks good enough to buy and support the single player rpg genre. It may have some quaintness, but it isn't a soulless money grab by a mega company. Buy it!
ACG is quickly becoming the only review channel I care about (not least because I'm an audiophile, and he's one of the few who pays attention to sound design). Thanks for this review, it made me feel at ease about spending $50 on this game. I'm excited to see what Spiders comes up with in the future.
Fair price, no micro-shit, singleplayer game. More of those, please. I liked Kingdom Come, Vampyr as well. Hyped for Outer Worlds and Vampires 2 too. Maybe the singleplayer roleplay genre keeps delivering.
Good to hear. Only heard of this game last night and saw it was coming out today. Been looking for reviews, but not many up, and not as in depth as yours. Thanks for your insight!
playing the game rn. i absolutely love it. even the side missions are interesting. if u can ignore the some movement limitations and linear map setting its actually a very well done game. i am hooked
I wish all games were $50 again! That being said, I'm still gonna have to wait for a sale because I'm poor. Lol thanks for doing what you do tho! By the way, I love how you just forwarded time while standing in the fire. Hahaha
@@huskytzu7709 yikes! That's dedication on your part buying any games. The conversion rates in some places are horrible. I'd have to look for deep deep sales on any game I buy if I lived where you live.
8 hours in & i love it it i'm on ps4 & i'm stunned by the lack of bugs & frame drops here, the quest are far from fetch questy as i thought they might be they actually have alot of depth each time but i see what you mean by difficulty & enemy variety it's not the best so i would recommend to new players to bump it up to hard atleast, can't stop playing this game i'm going back, adios.
@Simp Knight I got stuck in the amount of quests in that game. I liked it for a month or 2 inspite the colourless world. The anime was dark and almost depressing, think the style should have been a lot more like the game. Also the pawn was not optimal used or explained, it was just there because it was in the game.
Thankfully they took the time needed to develop a game that represented what they were capable of achieving. For a small indie studio working on a limited budget it's nice to see Spiders coming into their own. I always knew they had the talent, imo it was budget restraints and team size compared to other studios that held back their games. For those not familiar with this studio I recommend checking out their back catalog of games that are a lot better than they get credit for. Taking their time with Greedfall looks to have paid off, 3 games in 4 years is going to hurt quality. Cont. GreedFall 2019 The Technomancer 2016 Bound by Flame 2014 Mars: War Logs 2013 Of Orcs and Men (Co-dev with Cyanide studios) 2012 The Testament of Sherlock Holmes (Co-dev Frogwares) 2012 Faery: Legends of Avalon 2010 Gray Matter (Co-dev Wizardbox) 2010 Sherlock Holmes Versus Jack the Ripper (Co-dev Frogwares) 2009

Wish I could play games for this long. Usually I get two or maybe three hours in, and I start itching to do something else. Short attention span, I guess.

Worth the pre order because it's good so far :)
DeadwoodHero makes you wonder what the hell bethesda is doing with their hundreds of staff. Fallout looks and plays far worse than this
This game needs to succeed, if only that a sequel with higher budget will be produced. Budget will solve 99 % of the issues this game has.

I have seen this review 4 times now, and I am still impressed by the production of this video. The edits are sharp, the content is high quality, and what's even better is that there is no cut to a sponsor. I'm glad I had added this video to my liked videos and have subscribed to you because of it.
I've never been this early to a review before. Curious to see how this game shapes up.
Really happy to see 'small' games like this around. Reminds me of how I felt about Vampyr when I tried it. I love them.
I really enjoyed Vampyr, but I never really hear anyone talk about it.
Crazy that this used to be considered "AAA" just a few years ago.
Mass Effect Andromeda is the epitome of AAA now.
@@hieroprotoganist3440 lmao
It's like good games don't exist anymore
AAA now is just multiplayer cash grabs
If your lucky you get maybe a 6 hour campaign that's meaningless
Fucken sucks I just wanna be immersed again
Not running around a fast paced game worrying about how ima die lol
@@willyjf6193 playstation exclusives are your friend
I'm happy it turned out fairly well. I think a lot of people miss the Bioware that came out with Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect 1. That Bioware is long since gone though, and there's a bit of a vacuum for that type of game maker. I'd rather have jank than whatever it is that Anthem was.
This is the review I was looking for, thorough and considerate. Kotaku said it was bad because it encourages the ideals of colonialism. Friggin’ laughable.
Game Journalism is dead my friend.
@Tom Arnold ...he says, pushing an ideology
Found this after dumping 30 hours into this game a year late and I just want to say: spot on. This game is a gem. A little unpolished but wonderful
First time here, 1 minute 14 seconds in and I already like this guy. Definitely gonna be sticking around. Was gonna buy the game anyway but I’m sure glad I found this channel.
Love your videos man! Small suggestion; could you add a timestamp for the different categories you cover for your reviews? (graphics, sound, gameplay etc.) :)
*Jack Nicholson gleefully nodding his head meme*
I loved Bound By Flame, I loved Technomancer, and Im sure I'll love GreedFall.
Agree on bound by flame, mars wars was great too, trchnomancer was meh in my mind. Hope this is step above.
@@Dexyu Absolutely loved Mars War log and Technomancer.
With bioware giving up the ghost I have been hoping spider would up their game to fill the void, I will certainly give it a try
Great review as always
I saw this game on the xbox gamestore. I thought it looked fun so i looked for a review of it. I expected to search it and find an IGN review or something along those lines. I didn't find any of them, however I found ACG. I had never watched a video from him before and saw the 22 minute time stamp and thought "Oh man, that's a long video" but after looking at the other videos available i chose to watch this one figuring if it wasn't much about the game I would just stop watching, however he never fell off onto a tangent about anything but the game. It is clear that these videos are well thought out and a lot of time and effort is put into the videos. Any game review i see in the future will be held to the standard of ACG and I wont be surprised when they don't hold up.
Sort of reminds me of the Gothic series. Bit buggy and low budget, but really interesting world and quest style.
7:29 that invisible wall pained me to watch
This is the review I was waiting for. Game came out, this was the first review on my list. I love Technomancer for what it is, and shared a lot of the same views as you did on it. I don't mind a bit of jank as long as the game has a lot of heart and love behind it. With the progress Spiders is making with each of it's games, you can see the steady improvement they are making with each new titles that comes out. I really hope one day they finally have the budget to push the game they truly want to make.
Like a few people mentioned we need more games like this, more titles from smaller studios that are full of heart, more a long the lines of the titles that came out during the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox Era of gaming. Less about the AAA, and making live service style games.
Thanks as usual for the indepth and awesome review. Due to the fact we have similar tastes, this is a total buy for me.
Was watching reviews since launch, almost picked it up 2 or 3 times on sales. Got PS Now on black friday offer and this was one of the first games I picked. And it kept me playing! Visuals are interesting at least and the sound design is well done.
You review is very much spot on!
I haven't heard of Greedfall until I clicked on this video, but your review made me put this game on my radar. Thanks, ACG!
One thing I felt while watching this is how accurate the armor and combat stances were.
It really feels like the weapons are realistic and practical, and that can not be said about most games where they carry a sword as big as them with 300 spikes randomly placed.
Good review, man.
Was waiting for this. So glad it turned out to be good because I wanted it to be. Thank you for the timely review, as always.
I wanna say, TL;DR: Buy this game to support Spiders, they finally made something good instead of just okay.
Mars: War Logs and The Technomancer were great RPG's. Mars felt like KOTOR and Mass Effect's love child.
@@headbangerdnb I heard it was super clunky though and Technomancer while improved, felt like zero progress in terms of your characters strength and even your own skill.
@@otakon17 Technomancer is a lot smoother than Mars, and I have no idea what you're trying to say about character strength and skill.
Yeah I'll put it on hard difficulty, but the enemy variety is a shame.
ACG: subtitles would be very helpfull.
Not everyone speaks english as first language, plus you are very fast talker.
Like your work.
English is my first language and I have a hard time keeping up with him.
$50?
Inb4 youtube offers captions... or my device's captions, for that matter. :D
Yes $50
This is my first time watching an ACG video! Dude you are so underrated!!! You are so to-the-point & no BS indeed!
Instant sub!!!
better late than ever, welcome to the club! there's no better reviews out there.
this looks interesting, I'm kinda sold just on the customization lol but this sounds good, I'll be getting it ASAP
"THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET DICEY!!!"
Ive been waiting on this game for awhile. Now that the reviews are positive, makes me even more excited
I get so much of an DA:inquisition vibe from this game. Great review as always
@Mitch To bad you can't control individual characters. Hopefully the game sells a ton so that they can add DLC later.
I Loved DA:I & the combat system so maybe I'll pick this up
I was a massive fan of Mars: War Logs and The Technomancer, even with all its bugs. The story kept me going. This will be a buy for me.
I'm just happy someone remembers Jade Empire...
I loved that game
You’re quickly becoming my go-to reviewer.
Great work yet again
Should be a primary source outside Nintendo games
A decision making rpg i've been waiting for this kind of game.
But hows the ROLE-playing? Hows the choice system, what can you do to change the story?
SuperBelkar well I only played like 2 hours. Game is out now on steam. But I was able to kill or let some one live. Didn’t change main game but it was fun to decide. Also u can wear clothes to sneak into enemy territory or just sneak in threw the back
@@luisrod106 thanks man, yeah if anyone can tell me whats what that would be helpful. I like spiders but most of their stuff is pretty linear
@@Spitz643 In Skill Ups review he was very impressed with the role-play aspect. In terms of both character customisation and how it ties together questing, combat, and story. And also noted that the game has numerous branching story paths based on direct conversation interactions, how you build your character with practical and social skills, and through faction reputations.
@@JeremyComans And yet he didn't recommend it because he said it felt like 10 good hours of a game stretched over 30 hours. So we all just need to make our own decisions I guess. By the way I own the game and am playing it currently...and I'm liking it so far.
Most reviews I watched/read say that there's a lot of choice and the game has 4 different endings, not 4 different world states at the end but actual different endings.
It just makes me so happy to see Spiders earn a Buy from ACG.
Thank God you reviewed this before tomorrow karak, your the man!!
I've been playing it for about two hours now, still in the starting area, and I really enjoy what I've seen. I love the fact that you see, immediately, how useful and important your skill choices are. I chose Charisma at character creation and while that has left me feeling a bit blue-balled when it comes to all the locked chests lying around, I was able to talk my way past several situations which I might not have, otherwise. It sounds like this constant reflection on your skill choices continues into the game and that pleases me.
Sure, the title is still AA, which means the graphics and some mechanics feel like they belong in 2014, but if one goes in acknowledging that this is a small studio with a smaller budget than a triple-A title, it's entirely forgivable.
“It looks like the plague struck” umm there is a plague
Covid 19 has over a 99% survival rate. Not a plague.
You're trending on Gaming right now man, #43! Nice work, keep up the awesome, information filled reviews, we all appreciate it.
The Technomancer was bad. I'm glad they fixed themselves with this.
Reminds me to Fable 1-3 and Gothic 1-2.
I liked Technomancer. And ACG gave it a buy, so maybe y’all don’t have similar tastes?
I got past the 'Practice' part of the game last night and reached the Island last night, the gameplay really picked up at the first boss fight, where you have to put the escaped beast down...pretty tense fight and alternating between guns and melee was really fun. Certain visuals are great too, building/interior designs look really Impressive, e.g. 3D embossed textures on wallpaper and paintings. It really made stop and appreciate the detail the devs put into these things.
Hey, if a AAA title like Dragon Age 2 can get away with high ratings even while copy pasting EVERY interior (including dungeons mind you), then Greedfall should get a pass on this.
THIS JUST CAME TO GAME PASS TODAY!
And now its on PS PLUS and that's why i came
@@stenledtrap5273 😆 stomp that xboner
I’ve always been a sucker for the “2nd” rate RPG’s. From 2 worlds to the Risen series I find those smaller studios get more creative with there environments and mechanics although the stories and executions can be
rough around the edges.
Composer Olivier Deriviere also composed the music for two of Spiders' previous games, Bound By Flame and The Technomancer.
as usual, when i'm on the fence, ACG's review will determine if i purchase the game or not. thanks again!
You are the only person I have heard that says "Spend the time to watch someone not big named and support them." Instant subscribe from me.
Been playing the witcher 3 again recently. And the one thing i'm noticing massivly, is that they also reused the same few interiors everywhere. Like EVERYWHERE! :P
But those kinds of things dont bother me. I find it quite funny.
This is exactly the kind of coverage I was looking for before I made my decision.
Do I hear "hidden gem"?
Thank goodness the game is good. I can't wait to buy this. I think Spiders deserve the support. Thanks, ACG.
Technomancer was clearly a labor of love, but quite amateurish, virtually the same can be said for Bound by Flame. I really hope this turns out better, but not holding my breath.
I adore both games you can tell they love what they do and thats why i got this one as soon as i could
This reviewer repeats a half dozen times how this is an advancement over their past games. This looks good enough to buy and support the single player rpg genre. It may have some quaintness, but it isn't a soulless money grab by a mega company. Buy it!
A True Third Person camera!.. instead of the Over used, restrictive, awkward "over shoulder" view !
Charming and mesmerizing game just like the world it presents
ACG is quickly becoming the only review channel I care about (not least because I'm an audiophile, and he's one of the few who pays attention to sound design). Thanks for this review, it made me feel at ease about spending $50 on this game. I'm excited to see what Spiders comes up with in the future.
You guys have really improved since your Nier review, proud of you.
My man, ACG. The first new release title I've been anticipating in over two years and you're the first reviewer I go to.
Fair price, no micro-shit, singleplayer game. More of those, please. I liked Kingdom Come, Vampyr as well. Hyped for Outer Worlds and Vampires 2 too. Maybe the singleplayer roleplay genre keeps delivering.
Good to hear. Only heard of this game last night and saw it was coming out today. Been looking for reviews, but not many up, and not as in depth as yours. Thanks for your insight!
You said jade empire and i was sold.
playing the game rn. i absolutely love it. even the side missions are interesting. if u can ignore the some movement limitations and linear map setting its actually a very well done game. i am hooked
I wish all games were $50 again! That being said, I'm still gonna have to wait for a sale because I'm poor. Lol thanks for doing what you do tho! By the way, I love how you just forwarded time while standing in the fire. Hahaha
chris ruiz here in France new released games are €70 that’s almost 100 bucks 🤦♂️
@@huskytzu7709 yikes! That's dedication on your part buying any games. The conversion rates in some places are horrible. I'd have to look for deep deep sales on any game I buy if I lived where you live.
So refreshing. Honest, objective, without the nitpicky BS. Thank you.
8 hours in & i love it it i'm on ps4 & i'm stunned by the lack of bugs & frame drops here, the quest are far from fetch questy as i thought they might be they actually have alot of depth each time but i see what you mean by difficulty & enemy variety it's not the best so i would recommend to new players to bump it up to hard atleast, can't stop playing this game i'm going back, adios.
I see a bit of dragons dogma. In this game and I loved that game
@Simp Knight I got stuck in the amount of quests in that game. I liked it for a month or 2 inspite the colourless world. The anime was dark and almost depressing, think the style should have been a lot more like the game. Also the pawn was not optimal used or explained, it was just there because it was in the game.
Thankfully they took the time needed to develop a game that represented what they were capable of achieving. For a small indie studio working on a limited budget it's nice to see Spiders coming into their own. I always knew they had the talent, imo it was budget restraints and team size compared to other studios that held back their games. For those not familiar with this studio I recommend checking out their back catalog of games that are a lot better than they get credit for. Taking their time with Greedfall looks to have paid off, 3 games in 4 years is going to hurt quality. Cont.
