    GreeFall: Gold Edition is an update that offers more defined textures and adds 4K and 60fps support. A good addition to Spiders’ best game yet.

    Fans of the genre will still enjoy the broad narrative, exciting combat and deep RPG mechanics. Those returning just for the DLC might be disappointed, but newcomers will have a good time with Greedfall Gold Edition.

    GreedFall was and remains a great action RPG, fun and with a quality setting. Even now, therefore, we recommend the base game, even more than the Gold Edition.

    GreedFall for PlayStation 5 remains one of the best role-playing games of recent times, but with a much better overall presentation. As for the new expansion - it's something aimed to die-hard fans of the original campaign.

    The return to Teer Fradee largely disappoints in the De Vespe Conspiracy, although the PlayStation 5 upgrade works well. I wanted so much more in something called an expansion, even if the cost said I should temper my expectations. The De Vespe Conspiracy still tells an enjoyable tale, but the surrounding new enemies, empty location, and anticlimactic ending make for something akin to getting a dinner mint as a dessert rather than the chocolate melting cake.

When I finally picked it up, I was blown away by how great this game was. I've heard it compared to Bioware games of old and I 100% agree. I find this game to be a masterpiece in every regard. My expectations were low, and thus this game exceeded them in every way.

    I've decided to purchase some prior Spiders RPGS to support the developer Spiders (Bound by Flame; Mars War Logs; and The Technomancer). I have not played these games yet and am well aware that their quality will likely be much less than Greedfall's, but I was so impressed with Greedfall that now I want to support Spiders at all costs.    … Expand

The bugs/glitches are minimal and actually fewerThe developers may not have had a AAA budget for this game, but it is still a solid title. The bugs/glitches are minimal and actually fewer than what I’ve experienced with AAA titles. The story won’t blow you away, but it’s still plenty engaging enough to give incentive to advance the main quest. Facial animations are stiff, and the voice acting is okay, and although the accents can be corny, they may have a charm to some players.
    The combat is similar to that of The Witcher 3, but you aren’t as limited to what works against most enemies. You can experiment with different builds and approaches, as the game gives you several opportunities to reallocate all of your attribute/skill points as you play through.
    Objectives can feel like fetch quests sometimes, but the tediousness of such tasks is alleviated by the world being broken into small regions, similar to Outer Worlds, so traversing doesn’t take long at all. In between loading said regions, you can make any preparations in a small camp as you wait. The load times, however, are instant on PS5, now, in case you don’t need to wait or make preparations. If you’re hesitant about playing this, the PS4 version is currently on PS Now. I went ahead and bought the Gold Edition to support the developers, as this game definitely has me looking forward to what they can accomplish with more resources.    … Expand

The story is pretty lame and doesn't really do much with the premise other provide an excuse to explore, kill, and loot. The characters are also mostly lame, with none standing out are particularly endearing or realistic. The color palate of the game is dreadful and far too dark and brown. Occasionally the in-game day/night cycle allows for some color to peek through but the majority of my 40 hours have been very drab. I would love a sequel that tackles the colonialism themes with a bit more tact, because it sure is fun to play.… Expand

Nach längerer Spielzeit gingen einen die elend weiten Laufwege hin und her aber wortwörtlich auf dem Zeiger. Ca. 70% des Spieles sind rumlaufen, 20% Dialoge und 10% Kampf. Dies hat mich dazu bewegt, gegen Ende die Nebenmissionen liegen zu lassen und mich genervt nur noch durchzurushen. Weil die Laufwege nervig waren und die Schnellreise war ein Witz. Schade, wäre mehr drin gewesen.… Expand

Varusteita ja asusteita on paljon tarjolla ja lisäksi niitä voi kehittää. Myös taitojen oppiminen ja niiden kehittäminen olivat hauskaa, niin pitkälle kun niitä oli tarjolla. Tehtävistä jotkut olivat hyviä, mutta suurin osa on vain juoksemista edes takaisin ja kuunnella pitkiä jutteluita, joissa hahmot vain seisovat paikallaan. Osa taisteluista oli hauskan teknisiä, mutta välillä alkoi käydä tylsäksi. Loppu tarinan aikana tuli vasta lisää mielenkiintoisia vastustajia. Ehkä liian fantasiamainen minun makuun.… Expand

    Lost 8h of gaming because of corrupt save files. If you can't have the guarantee of your progress the rest is bogus.
