Yep from 2019 wasn’t it? SteelRising was published by Nacon but Greedfall was when Spiders were still publishing with Focus

Yes it was. You’re right.

…e generic esthetic and the realisation is kinda okayish (it’s hard to forget that this is a UE 4 games, it is written all over it) and after Jusant, it looks really bland. I like the score, Trevor Morris has done great with Dragon Age Inquisition and delivers this time too, but it just feels like a really generic yet competent iteration of Santa Monica’s work with AA budget and a general old gen feel with loads of loading time hiden in some not subtil animations. I just can’t stand this type of game anymore, and I don’t understand how much praise the game receive, but maybe I’m just not the public. I liked Vampyr back in the day, and I feel like it was a better effort at doing something “special”, which really is not the case here. Too bad, next time, maybe, I’m now waiting for Greedfall II.

The graphics, movement, and gameplay are “good enough” for me to be carried by how incredible I found the narrative and voice acting. I’m fine with something more directed and “narrow” in scope once in a while.

Don’t get this at all, why are we comparing the visual choices of a highly stylised abstract themed climbing game with weird creatures to a story driven, choice led linear RPG light. That’s like saying a film studios latest noir psychological thriller is bad because it doesn’t have the same look as the studios last RomCom.

Sounds like Don’t Nod have pulled off another compelling story with impactful choices so I’ll definately be picking this one up.
