Spent my first 5 hours doing everything in Serene and then finally saw the Title screen. Could have progressed a lot sooner but the city just engrossed me. Any game that can pull me in and make me want to forego progression for the sake of exploration is a winner in my book

[@THE-NC2]

This game kind of reminds me of Assassins Creed...hmmmm

[@Becka_Harper]

This is the game that distracted me so much that I’m going to have to restart about 4 other games because I can’t remember what I was doing. It’s got its jank, but makes up for it with just how wonderfully engrossing it is.

[@lukehill449]

I've only played 2 hours and really am gripped already. I played bound by flames and hated I but it seems they've come on leaps and bounds. Have to say the terrible lip syncing of the dialogue and the characters mouth movements is slightly off putting but it's not a high budget game and not that important. The story and emersion is! Imagine if spiders were given a good budget for a game...

Praising a game for having no MCs just shows how bad the gaming industry is. I actually like Spiders as a developer. It's not their fault the game is sold at high price. It's Focus Home Interactive. All games they sell are not worth what they sell it for.

[@kailee1937]

​@@headsgrowback1 Back in these days of Playstation 1, when games cost 100 euros. In my city, next to the official game store was a store with a burned copies for 10% of their price. 100 euros was too much for people and it was more than 20% of average salary (what most of the people didn't had). In last 12 or more years games cost mostly 60 euros here in Europe. Cinemas are 3 times more expensive than before. Travelling is more expensive. Living is a lot more expensive at all. Average salaries got higher and games? Still is a normal price of big games 60 euros. Greedfall cost 50 euros and is only on Steam, where 30% of it goes to Steam. In these times when developers have a hard times making games because it's not that worth as doing something else and they have hard earned money, a lot of developers are bankrupting, you be angry that this game cost 50 euros? You should be spitting on EA, Bethesda and publishers/developers like them, not normal ones who are trying to do something for a game industry.

[@lwaves]

@@headsgrowback1 This isn't selling at AAA prices. Steam currently has it at £44. You generally can't get a full AAA of this type for less than £60 on release (not counting dodgy sites). Even at £60 it's the base version with limited content. Also, there's no such thing as AAA prices, only AAA games etc.

I’m only 10 hours in but really just began exploring the ‘open’ world (the first open world like region that is) and I really like the game so far. I wouldn’t say I love it like games as the Witcher 3, but I enjoy myself playing the game and can’t wait to dive back in. It’s one of those unique games where you can feel the love for gaming from the developers in the game world and that’s always a big plus nowadays. So yeah, I think it’s actually a good game. Not great, but good and a good game is still ‘a good game’. I only hope the game will get more attention the upcoming weeks, Spiders absolutely deserves that with this title Beginners tip: If you informed yourself about the game, you have probably heared how handy the lockpicking talent is at the start. And it absolutely is, but don’t spend your beginning talent point on it! Your first party member got chest armor with level 1 lockpicking skill, just swap the armor with your own character

I hated the combat at the initiative hours, but now I've come to like it. It is rewarding if you know how to do it. I am playing in the extreme Difficulty and yet I get through the enemies and the bosses quite easily to say so. Trick is to Wait for them to attack, Parry it, then hit them, dodge, wait, parry. Rinse and Repeat! We are all ON OL MENAWI after all!

[@gamingarc6699]

@@Sammy_Chouchou How is it simple? Your companions reactions to your choices are done brilliantly. The communication between the two companions you choose to take in a mission is actually very good. Like for example, if you take Siora to do Aphra's companion mission, she will not like the fact that you are following the Elders and entering their sacred place and you will lose Reputation with the Natives. But instead if you choose someone else in her place, you won't lose any reputation. These little details are done brilliantly. Combat sucks I have to say.

I just found this game a few days ago and, while I generally agree with this video, there’s one thing that I feel wasn’t given enough emphasis: the controls. They’re *extremely* clunky. While you can remap buttons to some extent, there are some that can’t be remapped and it makes combat even more of a chore. Plus, you have to click through endless levels to do anything. Wanna find something in your inventory? You’re clicking through 3 or 4 different sections, depending on the item you’re trying to find. It’s extremely frustrating, especially in the beginning of the game, where you’re getting introduced to a lot of different mechanics and concepts in a very short timeframe. Overall, though, I’m enjoying the game. My advice to new players is to remap the combat controls, especially, and to persevere through the beginning of the game, particularly the first boss fight. I found that fight intensely frustrating not because of the difficulty, but because of the controls. The camera kept swinging out of control, I’d dodge into corners, trapping myself-and not on purpose-I kept hitting the pause key because it was too close to the dodge key; it was a mess until I finally came up with a system of controls that I could easily reach with all my fingers. I emphasize this so much because in the beginning, before you’re invested in the story, a lot of people would throw in the towel if it gets too frustrating, and that would be a shame for a game with a strong story, excellent world-building, and a refreshing lack of microtransactions and other AAA monetization crap.

[@Madrock7777]

I too just picked up the game. Well last week picked it up anyeay. It's a good game. Really enjoyed and have even taken to some slight modding to make a kind of sort of new game plus mode. I rebound a few keys as well. I will never understand why devs bind crouch to c and instead of ctrl.

I agree with the camera issue and fights being not great. I did also find myself enjoying this game. Is it perfect? No. Is it enjoyable? Yeah. I think so. The only other complaint is that some missions are a bit frustrating because you get to an area of the map that won't let you by pass due to skills or barriers. Or I literally have no clue what the next step is so I am running around trying to figure out what to do. Then I Google it and come to find out it's a glitch or other gamers said they struggled in knowing what to do.

As for the glitches and bugs and the sometimes awkward lip syncing it's not game breaking and I take comfort in two of the sweetest words in gaming "patch" and "update" so yeah I'm not worried 😂
