GreedFall
Review

GreedFall (2019) is a colonisation-themed role-playing game with challenging combat and an intricate narrative. You play De Sardet, a noble colonising the remote island of Teer Fradee. However, you must deal with the warring factions, including the natives. As you make choices on how to tackle these challenges, you trigger a web of interrelated consequences that impact your relationship with each faction and the future of Teer Fradee.

You explore Teer Fradee and all of the dangers it possesses, developing your character along the way. You slowly gain weapons and skills that enable you to approach the challenges in different ways: dynamic magic, heavy-hitting two-handed weapons, fast-striking one-handed weapons, powerful pistols and rifles, sneaky traps, or a combination of styles.

The game starts slowly as your journey begins in the city of Serene, here you are provided with an introduction to the world and the purpose of departing for Teer Fradee. Your time in Serene serves as a tutorial and introduces some of the factions and their goals, taking the time needed to flesh out GreedFall's world. In Serene, you have the chance to try both combat and diplomacy before bringing your skills to Teer Fradee.
