Taken on its own merits this is a game reminiscent of the story telling style of Dragon Age: Origins. I won't opine too much on that minus saying it's amazing and worth playing through on its own.
The RPG elements of this game are omnipresent, so much so that you can find an average piece of armor and upgrade it to a point that it can compete with some of the best items in the game..There is a talent point system similar to The Witcher that unlocks new abilities depending how you progress through; however, rather than being a singular tree, the starting talents form a circular menu and there's overlap between some of the progression paths.
The combat is a little clunky at times, I found the camera at times to be working against me and leading to my death. However, the actual mechanics within the combat systems are very cool, in the sense that I can kick, dodge, riposte, parry etc. Many of these bound to a separate key which allows control over your character. It's worth admitting that i'm playing this game with a keyboard and mouse, it may flow more naturally with a controller. However, I do feel this games combat is a step down from Spiders prior offering The Technomancer.
Taken on its own merits i'm giving this game a 10. It was crafted on a budget of 5 million when compared to the 100 million for Mass Effect Andromeda, and crushes that game in every aspect and with a team of 50. Overall for the level of quality of game we have here, it's amazing that it was crafted over 3 years by a development team of 40-50 people.
Solid game.
I just hope the game improves what the first one did good.
It just needed to be more darker.
the big problem i had with the game were the moral choices.
there is only good and bad.
you good choices will have NO consequences. (that is really unrealistic)
good music
AMAZING Heavy armor!!
good looking swords and guns.
I just wish that they would make Greedfall 2 more darker and grim.
I have very mixed feelings about this game. No matter how much I wanted to, it was a game that I couldn't get into and I couldn't play for long hours. First of all, the optimization of the game is very bad. The gameplay and story are also very ordinary and boring after a short while. If I manage to play it in the future, maybe I will change the review.
