My favourite thing in Greedfall, aside from Constantine who I adore, is the realism of guns. Like yeah, makes sense that guns are OP during colonization.
Agreed with a notable exception. In my two play throughs I never encountered bad move pathing, people standing in thin air, or people walking into walls. Not sure why your game played so differently in this regard. Weird.
For that quest that “glitched out” at the beginning, what really happened is that you need to talk to the OTHER guild guy at the new location. He says it in the dialogue also the quest itself says the location. Other than that yea I agree.
Speccing into rifles turn this game into a breeze especially when you have the ability to craft your own bullets. At that point, you're carrying a machinegun in the 18th century.
yeah, so i made myself not spec in armor so at least i'm a glass cannon and there's some challenge if i get hit. at first it was hard (playing on hard), now it's a breeze...but if i get overwhelmed and get hit once or twice, i'm dead.
Im the type of a person that cares about the game’s story the most out of all things. So, GreedFall might not be a masterpiece of graphics and game mechanics, but otherwise it is a very underrated game with AMAZING STORY. Based on fact it is made by such a small studio. And I played it for the first time in the mid 2021. I fell in love with both of my De Sardet’s instantly. ❤️ And all of my 4 playthroughs I’ve done were different. Just one poor decision at the beginning made the story a misery 😂 while one good decision made such a good and happy story with pleasant ending. And the soundtrack… OH MY GOD THE SOUNDTRACK. I loved Olivier Deriviere’s soundtracks in Plague Tale and he did an amazing job in GreedFall too. The other thing that upsets me a lot is no photomode for consoles. Damn, such a beautiful world and I cant even capture it properly. There is so much to offer and improve in this game so I have decent hopes for the 2nd game/prequel and Im glad they are making one 🥰
I’m hoping the 2nd game gets more resources allocated to the game and we kinda have a similar “Witcher scaling” where each game of the trilogy got better with more story and size and resources being put into it to, to the point where we got Witcher 3 and became a fantastic game.
Those guys in the beginning were hidden so well, with all the colors of brown available they were just another box for all that guard knew 😆 I love your balanced take on these games and that fact you take the time to go through them to give these reviews is amazing keep it up!
I loved this game, but I had issues with that early game mission too. Also, the shrubs are really what killed this game for me LOL. Wonderful review and it's fair. I hope the Spiders took what's been said about this game for the sequel/prequel.
I pre-ordered this game. It just seemed like a cool story, but it got overshadowed by games like Outer Worlds. A cult hit I think It looks and plays 100% better than when first bought it for PS4. They upped the lighting making it less dark which helped and crisped it up. A beautiful game and a real worthy RPG despite some flaws. With cool quests and a DLC it is a fun game.
Mitch! Your videos are so well done! Thanks for the great infotainment. Was always curious about Greedfall, but you’ve sorted that for me better than I could have for myself. 😝 Great work, as always. Keep it up.
I myself was quite awed by the story I loved it and didnt have much bugs or any broken pathing. Didnt mind the smaller variety of enemies. Actually for me the story was on par with dragon age or mass effect but thats just me.
Looking at their work from the outside, Spider has always struck me as a dev with a lot of creative passion for their work, but never quite the technical/narrative know-how to back that up. I recall hearing how someone from the company said Spider wanted to be the next Bioware, but it seems like Larian have slipped into that mold instead.
Wonderful and very agreeable. Also would like to point out the mass amounts of running you might need to do if you are a completionist like me as some quests are a marathon to finish.
I got this in my recommended. Glad of that. I recently completed it in 40 hours on ps5. I have to say my vote is mixed, not good, not bad. But I have good memories and happy to remember it. The character build is slow but become fine after half of the game, combat system same thing, enjoyable, needs time to give its best. The main story was reallt beautiful and the environement amazing. Just as Technomancer, the game lacks of variety, of skills, of equipment, the places are recycled a lot, side quests are bad despite some companions one. Keep moving to place to place is the worst part of the game, keep running and running just to reach the next quest part. Cities and places are EMPTY. Just stuff to look at. But in the end, pros and cons, I like it, at high difficulties it is very challenging
Glad i picked this game up. After modding the game to my liking i enjoyed it a lot more then i expected. (Modded because i thought the game was to easy). Now ok i payed only like 15 dollars for it but, its just one of those ''Not great but good'' games/rpg's made by a lower budget studio that you can really appreciate. This game game gave me a lot old skool classic rpg vibes to it with skill check system. Most be hard to pull a game like this off and you can really see the devs are passionate about rpg's and game and put a lot of effort into it. If they can improve the game with greedfall 2 that could be great.
"If the developer will take another swing at the genre" Oh, Spider have been doing that for years now, this isn't their first rodeo! and I love what they're doing every single time. btw, on my PS4 playthrough, I didn't encounter any bugs or glitches(except one that fixed itself). but NPCs don't really do anything other than walk around.
I like Greedfall... agree that certain parts could have been done much better, but lets remember Spiders is a relatively small studio, but perhaps with their latest release Steelrising and Greedfall 2 in the pipeline, we are seeing their own development in terms of quality and rating. Likes: I liked the main character, felt like an unassuming hero Story and setting. the look and feel of the towns and wilderness areas were, in general, really well done (a lot of love put into the design) Music in general Combat in general; sure, not as many options as other games but interesting and well implemented Dialogue in general, except maybe having to repeat the same "I'm the Legate... blah blah blah" all of the time Factions were well implemented and were key to the story Timeline and player choices; the story is truly impacted by player decisions which gives a surprising amount of customisation during a playthrough Some excellent, surprising and unforgettable cut scenes [Kurt's major scene, if you play it "right", was outstanding] I quite like the lite crafting system, it didn't get in the way of the story Room for Improvement: Attention to Detail: as mentioned, the bushes [shrubs], but also getting stuck when walking into low hanging signs, small things that break immersion Companion Relationships could have been developped far more. They are shallow, in my eyes, and getting this right would have lifted the entire gaming experience Like most RPGs, expecially in a historical setting, I would have liked to see more "realism" in dialogues; some of the richer and poorer NPCs did have a flavour, but more depth, more engaging dialogue in general which could push the main characters buttons, and my own personal gripe is that I always want to see NPCs dialogue change in function of the MC's gender... bring out the realism, push the chauvinism and increase consequences... otherwise RPGs fall into a social blandness. I bought 2 games in 2022 (I don't do games like Dark Souls etc), Greedfall and Kingdom Come Deliverance, and I thoroughly enjoyed both. EDIT: one final note, the brown colour effect can be removed with a mod [Nexus].
Great game from a small studio! While I agree the bugs would be completely unacceptable from a larger studio, I think they did great with r we hat they had and I can’t wait for the prequel…… also yeah the romance options sucks
Always look forward to your new videos! They always crack me up. I prefer your comedy focused reviews over detail focused reviews. I normally don't care what game you review, I'm just here for the laughs. 😂
Thanks mate. Starting out last year I was making more informational reviews with more comic videos separate, but over the past few months have been focusing more on walking a line between the two in the same video so ppl like yourself can be entertained even if they arnt interested in the game. 100% going to keep that going as want there to be something for everyone. Really glad you are enjoying the content.
@@MitchManix I'll watch every new video if you keep that formula🤣. My first video of yours I watched was Kingdom Come Deliverance, I probably watched that at least half a dozen times. "The NPC I come to know as Greg" 🤣😂🤣 hilarious stuff!! You made me buy the game too. Lol
@@shanebatten7337 Cheers mate, keeps me going getting feedback like that and looking forward to making lots for for you guys. How are you finding Kingdom Come? Still cant believe the devs reacted to my vid lol
@@MitchManix KCD so far so good, but I'm not too far in. I'm probably between 5-10hrs. It seems such a serious type of RPG that I am worried that I'll make a blunder which it'll be hard to recover from lol. Timed dialogue windows, hard fights, extremely hard picklocking using controllers and limited saves etc. Funny thing the first time I got arrested, I died in prison haha. But I'm enjoying it. I didn't know the Devs reacted to it. Is it in the comments? I have to have another look.
@@shanebatten7337 If you look up the recipe for savior schnapps online you can make 3 at once and are kitted out with loads of saves so makes the potential for getting into trouble a lot easier on Kingdom Come, trust me I needed them lol Yeah they put it on their Facebook and hit me up on my Twitter post. There's screenshots on my video after about monetization. Was super impressed they were such good sports about it.
I know I'm late to the party but that wasn't in fact a bugged quest. It asked you to speak to the quartermaster in NEW Serene, the location you sail to initially. I'm 100%ing and haven't run across any bugs yet, beaten 3 bosses, cleared the first arena at lvl 7, found the crafting system pretty cool, but I feel the spec system limits your options heavily early on. No lockpicking or crafting skills means you either talk your way through things or bribe your way through. If all else fails you start swinging but I prefer the diplomatic playstyle. Every rpg game now is just a glorified shooter or skyrim clone with a handful of limited dialogue alternatives to fighting every.single.npc-Greedfall was a nice breath of fresh air in that regard. I wish more games leaned into the idea you can have both an innovative combat system AND a complex story to tell
The gold version is on sale for 14 bucks right now. But it seems like it's not really been polished since release. A shame. It's aesthetics look really nice and I had always intended to get back to it once the price dropped.
I discovered some kind of glitch that made my character immortal (and it carried away from save to save) due to arena tutorial mode, it was fairly late in the game to restart, chose the "bad" ending, never looked back
I remember when Larian made Divinity 2 ego draconis (or whatever it was called) and I felt the same exact way as most people feel about Spider games. It was rough but had potential... Can you imagine like... 5 or 10 years from now, and spider's busting out with their baldurs gate 3, suddenly on top of the RPG world. Only time will tell 🥸
Honestly it's imo really good. It's on the level of witcher 3 (well just about), same issues as RDR2 with trying to loot..... I like it. it's like A- Witcher 3. Still pretty good, but not as polished. Facial animations of New Vegas but the reputation system too!! on research, and my experience, this runs 60fps 100% on ps5, perfect. It's so undersold, you'll get the deluxe edition for ps5 for like 20 bucks on amazon. tottally worth it.
I loved the world of this game but I admit I felt very underwhelmed by the ending.. *SPOILERS* I had all the allies and was expecting more of a "war" for the final area... but every time you were attacked all you had were you companions and like 4-5 people from each faction. That and the continuous back and forth between areas was a little much. I would have preferred more of a focused zone feeling where you'd work primarily with each faction without overlap for several hours; then there'd be that big finale.
Just got this game for $15 and got to the first boss battle. Shame to hear it drops off in the second half. I was aware of a certain amount of hank in this game beforehand, but I'm willing to give it a go.
Is it perfect? No. But it does get points for originality. Greedfall II has been announced for a 2024 release. Hopefully the issues that occurred in the first one will be taken care of.
The sides quests were a blast! Loved everyone one of em! Almost! Main story did bottom! Out! But agree! If u can get it on sale! It’s def worth a play through! And there are some camera mods so the trees don’t get in ur way as much! Def recommend! Getting at least a camera mod! For this game!
It's wild how many pathing ai issue you ran into. I finished this game last week as I just bought an xbox and got gamepass, and I barely had any issue with the NPC's (except my own party blocking my exit to rooms). I think you're title sums the game up best. It's janky as hell and some design choices are baffling, but it's a generally fun time that I did see through to the end.
Just bought this for $15 dollars, I mean the gold edition and currently enjoying the game despite the flaws. But TBH, I haven’t experienced any of the mentioned bugs here so far.
When I played this game about 2/3rds of the way through I felt like they got as sick of making the game as I was of playing it... and the ending verified that thought. Everyones pathing was mostly ok in my playthrough though... just the lack of new stuff made it all too... bland... and the ending was so abrupt and left me kinda feeling... that's it? I did have some fun with it though, to be fair.
For some reason, I was never able to finish the game as I give up perhaps halfway or 3/4 through, mostly due to lost of interest. I've restarted the game 3 times over the years at this point, which is a shame.I did finish Spider's other games though (Technomancer, Mars War Logs, and Bound by Flame)
Oddly enough I had some funny bugs but nothing game breaking. I think the worst part of the game was back tracking and some stories seemed they ended early. But over all its one of my favorite rpgs, though admittedly I'm new to the genre. Looking forward to see what they do with greedfall two.
Is doing a series on, or review of, Star Citizen in your plans? I'd love to watch that and I'm planning on naming a ship after one of your characters, lol.
100% mate. Tried Star Citizen a little while back and the optimization was hard to manage but I plan on revisiting it soon. Haha love the ship idea too.
@@MitchManix Without trying to give SC a plug, Fleet Week starts in a few days. Chance to try a bunch of ships for free and tour the stoopidly large, capital class Javelin destroyer. Looking forward to seeing your take on it.
Character design has been inspired from Dragon Age Inquisition🤔There are many things from Witcher as well;In fact,it's more like a densely mixed soup🤷♂️I like it actually👍But right at the moment,I stuck between Horizon Zero Down and AC Valhalla so I am not quite sure when can I play this seriously🤔It would be obsolete when I will decide to begin🤭
I can't tell you how many times I replicated that clip of the champion with various enemies, except it usually only took 1 shot. Guns are so broken in this game, you could genuinely just use them and you'd be fine. It was never not funny when someone would be talking shit only to get one shot.
I subbed purely because I like your humour. I really needed a laugh today, and I appreciate that you were able to give me a few of them. Also, I couldn't decide whether or not to buy this game after seeing the trailer for the sequel just now (looks great, btw) but you helped me make up my mind, so thanks for that too.
More then welcome mate, glad to give you a lift. If u fancy another laugh then I can recommend the Star Trek online vid on the channel. One of my faves and ppl seem to love that one. Hope you enjoy greedfall too!
I just beat this game a couple weeks ago and was going to do a video of it but I’m not going to top this great game just wish they had more money to work on it and get them bugs and ai better
My favourite thing in Greedfall, aside from Constantine who I adore, is the realism of guns.
Like yeah, makes sense that guns are OP during colonization.
Agreed with a notable exception. In my two play throughs I never encountered bad move pathing, people standing in thin air, or people walking into walls. Not sure why your game played so differently in this regard. Weird.
Played on ps4 Pro and I also don't remember any minor bugs like this. Would assume it still happened if it was so regular.
Played it on Xbox one s. Never encountered those issues either
@@WhiteZet1 PC and I haven't had a problem, yet.
And that's why everyone's game is different some might have bugs others might not
I never experienced any of this as well
I loved the combat in this game. The magic was really fun to use and the guns, especially the higher level ones, were satisfying to fire.
Totally agree
If you finish the game can you still do something or its just done?
It ends.
@@yoink9148 it just ends, though you can return to a point before the final mission.
I loved this game, not enough fantasy games with that 17th century look.
Agreed!
The drip is real!
Love to see this game extended and reissued as a AAA level game. Artwork some of the best I've seen.
"Is he doing that numa numa dance"
Thanks, I just aged a decade in one sentence
For that quest that “glitched out” at the beginning, what really happened is that you need to talk to the OTHER guild guy at the new location. He says it in the dialogue also the quest itself says the location. Other than that yea I agree.
Speccing into rifles turn this game into a breeze especially when you have the ability to craft your own bullets. At that point, you're carrying a machinegun in the 18th century.
Yeah that is one of the reasons I don't use guns. Magic and Melee only
Yeah I tried to play this game twice, but guns made combat too easy to hook me. Have to go in with restrictions and try a melee only or something
yeah, so i made myself not spec in armor so at least i'm a glass cannon and there's some challenge if i get hit. at first it was hard (playing on hard), now it's a breeze...but if i get overwhelmed and get hit once or twice, i'm dead.

Im the type of a person that cares about the game’s story the most out of all things.
So, GreedFall might not be a masterpiece of graphics and game mechanics, but otherwise it is a very underrated game with AMAZING STORY. Based on fact it is made by such a small studio. And I played it for the first time in the mid 2021.
I fell in love with both of my De Sardet’s instantly. ❤️
And all of my 4 playthroughs I’ve done were different. Just one poor decision at the beginning made the story a misery 😂 while one good decision made such a good and happy story with pleasant ending.
And the soundtrack… OH MY GOD THE SOUNDTRACK. I loved Olivier Deriviere’s soundtracks in Plague Tale and he did an amazing job in GreedFall too.
The other thing that upsets me a lot is no photomode for consoles. Damn, such a beautiful world and I cant even capture it properly.
There is so much to offer and improve in this game so I have decent hopes for the 2nd game/prequel and Im glad they are making one 🥰
Solid 9/10 with mods, especially the sheathed weapons mod.
Can I just say that your dry LOL is for some reason one of the funniest thing in your videos, every time it pops up it makes me legitimately laugh
I’m hoping the 2nd game gets more resources allocated to the game and we kinda have a similar “Witcher scaling” where each game of the trilogy got better with more story and size and resources being put into it to, to the point where we got Witcher 3 and became a fantastic game.
Those guys in the beginning were hidden so well, with all the colors of brown available they were just another box for all that guard knew 😆

Honestly, the worst "bug" I had was Kurt's insatiable need to stand on tables.
Guess he really wanted to be a table dancer 😂
I pre-ordered this game. It just seemed like a cool story, but it got overshadowed by games like Outer Worlds. A cult hit I think It looks and plays 100% better than when first bought it for PS4.

Totally, I’m looking forward to it
Really love the game, even get the platinum, the dlc was some dissapointing , really hope for a sequel
I'm looking forward of if they do another too. There were so many elements they got right and it would be a shame if they didn't.
They are!!! Think its a prequel but still, it's great news
@@Anwell100 Looking forward to it
Just got this game for $15 and got to the first boss battle. Shame to hear it drops off in the second half. I was aware of a certain amount of hank in this game beforehand, but I'm willing to give it a go.
I'm relatively far in the game and haven't had any of the problems with it that you did although that could be because I play on console
Another gem rpg Greedfall and Kingdom Come Deliverance looking foward to Greedfall 2 and KCD 2.
Is it perfect? No. But it does get points for originality.
Greedfall II has been announced for a 2024 release. Hopefully the issues that occurred in the first one will be taken care of.
Very true and looking forward to the follow up
I truly enjoyed the video, laughed and will most likely get the game. Good work.
I enjoyed my time with this game, I hope the sequel is good.
The sides quests were a blast! Loved everyone one of em! Almost! Main story did bottom! Out! But agree! If u can get it on sale! It’s def worth a play through! And there are some camera mods so the trees don’t get in ur way as much! Def recommend! Getting at least a camera mod! For this game!
went from gameranx to this review, great video man!
What an excellent review, i was debating if i should buy, and i will, but i wait for that discount now ;)
Nice seeing where the game leads, as I'm probably never going to get passed the first boss fight of the game, lol. I'll try again tomorrow
You got this!
@@MitchManix thanks dude!
I'll be replaying this game, but the only complain I remember was how easy bosses where, with the exception of the very first one.
Well done. Never laughed so much watching a review. Trying to decide whether to try it with my 980ti.
Haha funny, love it.
Glad u enjoyed it mate
@@MitchManix You should have more subscribers
@@philp2088 Nice of you to say, just gna keep putting out the best content I can for you guys and see what happens
I'm now curious to play this game. I'm glad it is on sale for a reasonable price.
I’m still early in my playthrough, but I highly recommend it. It’s great!
I liked your video. Love the MPFC references. Liking & Subscribing.
First two gameplays of a random video made me realize i shouldnt waste my money
other than the color scheme, I loved this game despite the jank
Guns are OP as well
m lord i have subcribed and rung the bell as ordered XD
The acts of a legend, thank you
It's wild how many pathing ai issue you ran into. I finished this game last week as I just bought an xbox and got gamepass, and I barely had any issue with the NPC's (except my own party blocking my exit to rooms).
I think you're title sums the game up best. It's janky as hell and some design choices are baffling, but it's a generally fun time that I did see through to the end.
I'd bet it's a PC issue
Just bought this for $15 dollars, I mean the gold edition and currently enjoying the game despite the flaws. But TBH, I haven’t experienced any of the mentioned bugs here so far.
Good work Mitch, really enjoyed this video. Surprised you don't have more subscribers as this seemed really professional.
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Just try to make the best content I can
When I played this game about 2/3rds of the way through I felt like they got as sick of making the game as I was of playing it... and the ending verified that thought.
Everyones pathing was mostly ok in my playthrough though... just the lack of new stuff made it all too... bland... and the ending was so abrupt and left me kinda feeling... that's it? I did have some fun with it though, to be fair.
i gave you a like as that creased me up
Can we talk about walking and running animation ? It feels so weird, low and buggy sometimes
I've only seen this now, but they announced a sequel pretty much a week after you posted this
For some reason, I was never able to finish the game as I give up perhaps halfway or 3/4 through, mostly due to lost of interest. I've restarted the game 3 times over the years at this point, which is a shame.I did finish Spider's other games though (Technomancer, Mars War Logs, and Bound by Flame)
Well at least the devs were good enough to us and leave an exploit for our in game financial problems
Oddly enough I had some funny bugs but nothing game breaking. I think the worst part of the game was back tracking and some stories seemed they ended early. But over all its one of my favorite rpgs, though admittedly I'm new to the genre. Looking forward to see what they do with greedfall two.
Is doing a series on, or review of, Star Citizen in your plans?
I'd love to watch that and I'm planning on naming a ship after one of your characters, lol.
100% mate. Tried Star Citizen a little while back and the optimization was hard to manage but I plan on revisiting it soon. Haha love the ship idea too.
@@MitchManix Without trying to give SC a plug, Fleet Week starts in a few days. Chance to try a bunch of ships for free and tour the stoopidly large, capital class Javelin destroyer.
Looking forward to seeing your take on it.
Shoot... I think I own this game. I should play it.
Character design has been inspired from Dragon Age Inquisition🤔There are many things from Witcher as well;In fact,it's more like a densely mixed soup🤷♂️I like it actually👍But right at the moment,I stuck between Horizon Zero Down and AC Valhalla so I am not quite sure when can I play this seriously🤔It would be obsolete when I will decide to begin🤭
hopefully greedfall 2 will be better since spiders got purchased by nacon and are also working on a game coming out this year called Steelerising
this game was super fun. wish they could make a sequel
They've already announced one it'll be a prequel where you play a native this time
Cant really get over how broken the guns are if you spec into accuracy enough you have basically beaten every boss
Strange, in 800 hours of gameplay i didnt experience one of your bugs
I can't tell you how many times I replicated that clip of the champion with various enemies, except it usually only took 1 shot. Guns are so broken in this game, you could genuinely just use them and you'd be fine. It was never not funny when someone would be talking shit only to get one shot.
I know rite, was a tad anticlimactic being told just how doomed I was only to blow them away like it was nothing.
I subbed purely because I like your humour. I really needed a laugh today, and I appreciate that you were able to give me a few of them. Also, I couldn't decide whether or not to buy this game after seeing the trailer for the sequel just now (looks great, btw) but you helped me make up my mind, so thanks for that too.
More then welcome mate, glad to give you a lift. If u fancy another laugh then I can recommend the Star Trek online vid on the channel. One of my faves and ppl seem to love that one. Hope you enjoy greedfall too!
This review had me actually laughing. Thanks.
So this is basically Fable IV
Streisberk! I realize this isn’t the best place to ask but could you confirm/deny he is set for his live action debut in “Strange News World”?
haha exactly. In theatres June!
Got a like and comment for "fart out a pine cone"
I just beat this game a couple weeks ago and was going to do a video of it but I’m not going to top this great game just wish they had more money to work on it and get them bugs and ai better
they are making another one
Bro can you commentary my life please 😂😂😂
