That was an average game. İmproving items and your companions are exiting but there are few bad sides in game. For example, you cannot jump in the game. Really guys :D can't jump in a game in year 2024? Also you cannot walk some certain places while there is nothing to block you on the road. Overall it is an …

Once you get to Teer Fradee, the game really becomes enjoyable. The opening is a bit of a slog, admittedly, but once you get into the game proper, it's a really fun little title. Sure it's not super polished or very complex, but honestly those are the kinds of things I'm looking to avoid. I'm sick of polish. I'm sick …

I miss the 2010s middling quality of gaming so much, and this really scratches that itch. Also, cool monsters.

As someone with a great fondness for Greedfall, I played through the DeVespe Conspiracy DLC. It's more Greedfall, nothing too wild or new. It very much seems like this was just a side mission cut from the original game that they went ahead and finished to have something extra to add to the new PS5 Gold Edition.

Bland, clunky and basic but still enjoyable.
Up to 40 hours.

Read moreHadn’t even heard of this game until a few weeks ago, which is a shame since I just fell into it for almost 5 hours and had a really good time so far. It feels like a more grounded and serious Dragon Age with more action-focused gameplay, and a unique setting and flavor. It does a really good job setting up its world and drawing you into the story quickly. I’m impressed with how much is going on and how many options I have to play my character already, not just in dialogue but even in how I approach quests, via head-on combat, stealth and lockpocking, even bombing out a wall to skip straight to my objective. Interested to see how this one plays out!

Ok, writers, it's time to have a talk. Please, please, I beg you. Stop having stories in which you know exactly what's going on but the characters are too dumb to realise anything. And no, I'm not talking about the reader/player anticipating events by knowing about the narrative tropes. I'm talking about when there's actual in-world elements and events that …

As it's usual with this kinds of games, the main plot is less interesting that the various side missions that populate the world. And now that I'm all but depleted of sidequest, I'm ready for it to end.

Following up on music and videogames. This is not in the soundtrack from Greedfall but it could be!

The one thing I don't like about this game is how it never allows you to fully go against any faction. Even though I took and instant and intense disliking to Thélème, the inquisition-era Spain inspired kingdom, I can't really tell them to fuck off.

I'm very impressed with this game. It's got its sub-par elements (such as the shallow skill-tree and combat), but there are also a great deal of brilliancy.
It's not a manichaean story of the good, innocent savages vs the evil, greedy Europeans. Some natives welcome the foreigners and want to coexist and trade, others want to fight them, others try …
I'm very impressed with this game. It's got its sub-par elements (such as the shallow skill-tree and combat), but there are also a great deal of brilliancy.
It's not a manichaean story of the good, innocent savages vs the evil, greedy Europeans. Some natives welcome the foreigners and want to coexist and trade, others want to fight them, others try to navigate the complex diplomacy and avoid war. Some are hate-filled and motivated by revenge, others only want to live in peace and see war as the only way forward. Similarly, among the foreigners are groups that want to convert or conquer what they perceive as savages, others see them as fully human and hold various levels of respect towards them. It's quite realistic and surprisingly mature, I think.
On top of that, the environments are huge and gorgeous. Some paths remind me of trails I hiked in Bariloche.
