My Life As A Gamer: Razorfist Reviews "Greedfall"

The Excellence of Elocution reviews Greedfall.

TLDR: Recommended because it's better than recent AAA trash and other disappointments.

I concur with Razorfist's overall sentiment. This is the ambitious open world RPG that better-known titles claim to be, but aren't. Observing playthroughs make this clear, and that one can come at this as if your man were Solomon Kane is indeed a fantastic draw. Yes, you can do the Diplomancer thing if you like and talk your enemies to death, but far more satisfying is smiting them and salting the earth wherein they came so naught arises thereafter.

Is it worth paying the New Release price? If you don't balk at tossing $50 (US) at a videogame, go for it. You won't feel like you got stiffed. For the rest of us, wait for a sale or get it used. (So watch your local used shops for physical copies.) This is going to be one of those titles you don't want to miss, a sleeper hit that only grows in good word over time.
