GreedFall 2: The Dying World is completely shaking up its predecessor with a new combat system inspired by Dragon Age: Origins.
This story is part of our Summer Gaming Marathon series. While I never played the original GreedFall, I’d had it described to me enough that I thought I knew its deal. Friends described it to me as an action RPG in line with The Witcher. I had a pretty clear picture of it in my head, but I second-guessed myself the moment I sat down to play two hours of GreedFall 2: The Dying World. It was nothing like I was expecting.
Related From there, I got a quick feel for GreedFall 2‘s RPG systems. I’d explore every corner of a colorful forest as I followed leads, looked for clues, and spoke to nearby factions to get to the bottom of it all. What immediately stands out is the player agency I had even in those early missions. As I followed a trail of dead animals and traps, I eventually found a hunter camp. I confronted them about their needless violence, and used my negotiation skills to diffuse some anger.
Full-on Dragon Age The more surprising change comes when I enter into combat for the first time. I expected to do some basic hacking and slashing while AI-controlled companions helped out independently. That’s no longer the case. Instead, Spiders has implemented a more tactical combat style that takes heavy inspiration from Dragon Age: Origins. It’s almost unrecognizable from the first GreedFall game.
The system is promising so far. I’d roll with two hammer wielders who could knock enemies down with heavy hits, as well as an archer who could pepper poison shots from the backline and heal allies. The ability to pause battles made it easier for me to actually execute combat strategies, letting me reposition my archer to the backline while lining up my hammer smashes to hit as many enemies at once as I could.
