The first Greedfall wasn’t an incredible game, but it was a solid effort at a Bioware-style RPG game from a much smaller studio that managed to capture some of the appeal of classics like Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins. Its sequel, Greedfall 2: The Dying World, came out last fall to much less acclaim, however, with our own review calling it “a buggy, boring mess” that “needs a lot of work.” Spiders, the studio behind the game, is actively putting in that work as it progresses through Early Access, though, which, along with a new discount and stronger user reviews, makes now a good time to see how far it’s come along for yourself.
Since Greedfall 2: The Dying World came out, Spiders has been plugging away at the RPG game, putting out patches like last month’s Major Update #1. Considering that our review of its Early Access launch pointed out the host of technical issues that were plaguing the game, these kind of efforts stand a real chance of making it easier to see what does work in Greedfall 2’s fundamental design. It seems, now, that Spiders’ emphasis on overhauling combat, tweaking its UI, and addressing bugs with its latest update is starting to pay off.
As a result of the studio’s work, Greedfall 2’s reputation has been improving on Steam. While its overall user rating is still at 56% or ‘Mixed,’ Spiders’ updates seem to be getting the game into better shape. At the time of writing, it holds a 71% or ‘Mostly Positive’ rating, which is certainly a step up from several months ago.
If you’d like to get a first-hand look at Greedfall 2’s current state, it’s currently available with a 30% discount, which brings its price down to $27.99 USD /£24.49. Grab a copy on Steam right here.
