Greedfall, 8 hours check in

So, I finally found a new game I really like! It's really not that easy finding a NEW game to invest in. It's like finding a good book to read, or a good tv-series to watch.. Pretty hard, even if it's a thousands of good recommendations out there! You still have to find your own stuff.
I haven't quite finished Kingdom Come Deliverance yet, or, I finished the main questline, but feel like waiting a while before riding off into the sunset with Sir Hans, I have a feeling it will be the official end of the game... And after the official end of a game, it's really not that fun to play anymore 😕 (Have a couple of quests left, and some nice DLC thank the universe for that, but still..)

This post is not about KCD though. I have been looking around for a rebound game recently, yes, a rebound game. While other human beings are looking for rebound relationships with other human beings, I am (desperately) looking for rebound video GAMES. It hurts too. But, I ended up with buying GREEDFALL, developed by Spiders, released in September 2019, just around the time I started playing World Of Warcraft again, little fun fact there... 

Anyways, I am now 8-10 hours in the game and I have to say, like it a lot!
I'm the kind of person who has to do everything, every tiny little, stupid quest, I have to examine every creepy corner and try to romance every single man/ woman/ whatever in a video game, just to because... Well, how can I not!? I need to know every single detail about everything (even tho I might not remember it all in the end) and also what would happen if I did this and that etc.. Sometimes I save and try a different dialogue option/ direction just to se what could've happened if I did something else. Too bad you can't save and reload in real life!! But, at least I get the luxury to do it in games 😊

This Greedfall game tho, an action role-playing kinda game with some weird fantasy looking creatures in there too, it reminds me a lot of Dragon Age, particularly Dragon Age 2 . Not the story, but the whole setting: Some parts of the combat system, the fact that you can use space to pause and take a deep breath in the middle of a fight, your companions, camps, maps, the scenery... This comparison is a good thing, at least for me since I love, love, love Dragon Age and everything Dragon Age-like! Greedfall also has a small amount of The Witcher feeling to it, which I also happen to love, love, love. 
I'm not saying that is what the developers what aiming for, I'm just mentioning that as a + in my book of games. Hopefully it will continue to make me happy! 

Your play as De Sardet in the 17th century ish, De Sardet, you can can also customize a bit; face, eyes, hair etc. And you can play as male or female. I of course, chose to play as a male, since I need a new male (fictional) character in my life 24/7.  

The only downside I have noticed so far, is that I don't feel like the game has reached it full potential, yet.. I would for example love to be able to explore more of the map, the world itself. You can't go anywhere you like, because the map or the world/whatever won't let you. Some areas are, well, kinda boring to be honest. Understandable, since it's a quite new game..? I just hope the story and the quests keep making up for that part. And, I'm only a couple of hours in, so I'm still optimistic that new areas will be lots of fun and games!
I haven't read that much about Greedfall, so I don't know anything else than what the gaming itself tells me. This experience is just based on what I feel and what I want. 
And yes, I have been playing Assassins' Creed (x number of versions) so now I'm used to that big world luxury.. I'm disappointed when I can't go and climb everywhere I want, I don't like it when I can't explore all over the place, and when the game sends you down the one and only road.. (I didn't have that problem before I started on AC... Like in DragonAge2, never ever a problem!!)

Anyway.. This was only an intro to my Greedfall journey.. I'm gonna write more about it once I get to know it more. I have a lot more to learn and can not wait. First impression though, well worth playing! 😀👍
