Based on the skills you invest in, conversations can branch off into multiple outcomes and exploration can be limited. We enjoyed Greedfall&#8217;s soundtrack, simplistic combat, and writing but felt that the game could use some more polish. Andrew Reiner likens it to early Elder Scrolls and Witcher games (which is solid company).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/maneater\/maneater-review-king-of-the-sea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maneater <\/a>stands out as an interesting oddity. Comically considered to be a ShaRkPG, Maneater is all about being the seas greatest shark.\u00a0Players must learn how to survive in their environment until they are formidable enough to climb the food chain. Diverse encounters (with fish and humans alike) will allow players to customize their playstyle and potentially create an all-powerful apex predator.<\/p>\n<p>Subvert\u00a0an ancient prophecy, romance\u00a0your companions\u00a0in a world of fantasy, or simply eat your enemies. 2021 will be off to an interesting start for PS Plus members.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2020\/12\/30\/ps-plus-january-2021-games-announced\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another batch of PS Plus games have been set for the first month of the new year.
