7/10
Im a big fan of RPG games and one game that I feel not enough people know about is GreedFall, I’ve been playing it a lot lately and have been having a great time playing. The developers, Spiders, have done a fantastic job of story building and created a world that is just filled to the brim with story. While the game doesn’t have the best graphics, it makes up for it with its exciting combat and great, unique quests. The side quests in this game aren’t just a fetch job like in some games, these side quests are all unique and can escalate to something much bigger than you expected when you started.
GreedFall begins with your character, Mister De Sardet, embarking on his journey to the land of Teer Fradee. Once you arrive in New Serene your cousin, who is the governor, becomes sick with the malicor, the same disease that killed your mother before you left. Now you have to uncover the mysteries of the island in the hope of finding a cure for this disease.You meet a lot of characters throughout the game and are able to have 5 companions travel with you and each have their own story quests. These characters are all tied to different factions like Siora, who you meet very early in the game, is a native and so if you upset the natives during the course of the game you hurt your relationship with her. Over the course of the game you are able to decide who stays on the island and who leaves by playing politics and speaking with their leaders.
The combat system is pretty nice in this game, you are able to use different weapons like sword, hammers, and axes. These different weapons have different stats requirements and so you can only use the weapons that fit with the way you level up your character. Once you’ve leveled up a few times though you can start purchasing new skills that you didn’t have like guns, magic, and traps. You can also change your armor and add upgrades to them that increase a skill, like lockpicking or science. This is helpful because you can carry different armors and just change it when you need a higher skill in something.
I’ve been enjoying this game a lot since I haven’t played an old-school RPG in a while and if you do too or have been interested this game might be for you. Playing it isn’t complicated, the game teaches you everything you need to know and has a fascinating world to explore. This game doesn’t have the best graphics and it is glitches some times but its still a really good game because of all the work Spiders put into this game. Id recommend this if your interested in rpg games.
