I worry about GreedFall 2. I’ve been playing the early access build that’s just released on Steam and it’s not great, and it confuses me, because the original game from 2019 managed to do the almost impossible: it broke into a busy RPG market and made a success of itself, despite being janky and having some problematic New World colonisation themes. It had nice ideas and had heart, and it gave us a kind of BioWare experience that was missing at the time, and shipped something like 2m copies as a result. But the sequel takes all of that good work and seems to step backwards from it. It’s a less enjoyable game to play, it’s less distinct, and the ways it has tried to evolve the series have worsened it.
