Gameplay
You start off in an island that has a lot of factions trying to either survive or create war to eliminate it's competitors while some just want to join forces and live in unison. The game has you play an investigator working on all sides and fulfilling your royal duty as a Legate. You have inherited powers the same as the islands inhabitants and will use them in combat and exploration. There are no real survival mechanics only things that may give you buffs such as potions. Once you complete the missions you can complete the DLC expansion or at least start it half way through completing base game.


Graphics/Frames
The graphics are nice giving an old feel of European Renaissance Period and fusing good backdrops of a new island springing to life with traders and travellers and liberators. The Graphics hold up great i was getting close to 90 fps drops to 80/70. It was solid and had great lighting and shading. This is also achieved with ReShade.

Progression
This is the part that lets it down... Once you hit level 46 you seize to get anymore points for talents and can only get skill points from skill alters spread around the island. This stops you from being able to fully max your Character and leaving a bad taste in your mouth. The developer has no wish to change this and actually goes on further to say that it was done intentionally and there will be no changes.

Final Thoughts
I am upset with the games design right up to the controller config you cant change without having to tinker in the games .ini files. I don't like the fact you couldn't increase your party size to run in fights with you .... unless you use mods. If this game did not have Mods i would not of written this review. If the second Greedfall is going to be anything like the first i wont waste my time. Buy this game and its DLC on very low sale to avoid disappointment.

Rating out of 5
I give this game a 3.5 as its not a bad game but has flaws that the development team are unwilling to fix.
