Greedfall

Greedfall is a brand new game that came out on September 19th developed by Spiders. It is an action role-playing game to its core with a 17th century-styled fantasy setting, emphasizing on freedom in both character development and how you proceed through the word.

After starting the game, making your De Sardet character, choosing your style of fighting, and learning about the world and the countries you and some of your team travels to a newly-settled island of Teer Fradee. Help your cousin work with the other countries that settled on the island and the natives all while trying to find a cure for the deadly plague, the malichor, that is killing your people. The countries there are the Bridge Alliance, known for science, the Theleme, known for religion, and Congregation of Merchants, which you are a part of.

Meet the members of your party. There is Kurt, Aphra, Petrus, Siora, and Vasco. Kurt is yours and your cousins weapons master and taught you how to fight. Aphra is a renowned naturalist scientist you meet on Teer Fradee and also a citizen of the Bridge Alliance. Petrus is a skilled fighter, diplomat, and missionary of Theleme you meet on Teer Fradee. Siora is a Teer Freadee native and a daughter to Queen Bladnid, a leader of a native clan. Lastly Vasco is a seafaring Naut and the captain of the ship that brought you and your cousin to Teer Freadee.

  • Kurt
  • Aphra
  • Petrus
  • Siora
  • Vasco

When you play Greedfall you might get a feeling that the developers of Spiders got influenced by the Dragon Age series while making the game. In my opinion that is not a bad thing at all. I loved playing Dragon Age and Greedfall is very different than Dragon Age so there is no problems with any possible copyrighting.

Greedfall is available on the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and the PC.

Fable

Fable is the first game from the Fable series released in 2004 developed by Lionhead Studios. The game is an action role playing game that takes place in the nation of Albion resembling medieval times and other traditional fantasy games.

You play as an orphaned boy who becomes a trains and becomes a hero after bandits attacked his village, killing his parents, and kidnapped his sister. As a hero of Albion you take on quests from the citizens and also learn what happened to your family and why.

During the whole game the types of deeds, good or evil, you do can affect your appearance and how others think of you. Which was always fun growing up. My oldest brother and I always chose good while my other brother did evil just for the looks.

The fighting styles you can choose from are the basic swords, bows, and magic which was what most fantasy games in 2004 as fighting styles. Later in Fable 2 and 3 you can start using guns instead of bows which help shows the evolution of Albion. You also get a dog companion in the later Fable games and he will help you fight, find buried treasure, and also learn tricks.

Doing the main and side quests in Fable is just a small amount of fun you can have. Other things you can do as the hero is playing pub games, boxing tournaments, exploring, stealing, owning and renting houses, and more.

Fable is a very good game for beginner gamers and now can be played on the Xbox One, PC, and Xbox 360.
