GreedFall is a solid if not especially remarkable game, with an engaging story in a unique setting that borrows heavily from real history, and is sure to be satisfying to those in need of a BioWare-style, action RPG fix.

GreedFall is a new action role-playing game that puts players in the shoes of a 17th century explorer leaving the old world for a newly discovered land, Teer Fradree. The mission is to discover a cure for a disease that is ravaging the home continent, but doing so inevitably finds players caught between the different factions vying for control in the new world. Using not just fighting skills but stealth, diplomacy, and even magic, players will navigate a political minefield as they search for the cure while also unraveling a greater mystery about Teer Fradree.

GreedFall is an RPG very much in the vein of BioWare's Dragon Age series, rewarding player choice and offering a variety of play styles, but with a combat system that feels less polished and navigation that can, at times, frustrate. Regardless, GreedFall offers a strongly-researched and creative spin on the Colonial Age, mixing together real world politics and technology with more traditional fantasy for a unique setting. The story GreedFall uses this world to tell isn't necessarily groundbreaking, but the game's focus on choice allows for player actions to have an impact on how the story progresses. GreedFall is a solid if not especially remarkable game, with an engaging story in a unique setting that borrows heavily from real history, and is sure to be satisfying for those in need of a BioWare-style, action RPG fix.
