I think Greedfall was really special. A fantasy take on the American colonies is right up my alley. It was a pretty cool game with a great concept from a small studio.
I’m so glad Greedfall 2 was greenlit and I’m excited to see what Spider(?) Can do with a bigger budget. It was a bit eurojank but if they manage to make it a full open world I’ll be very happy.
It definitely depends on the game, I’m perfectly happy with a game that has a story to tell, and tells it well. Not everything needs to have branching options and 50+ hour playtime. Some of the best stories I’ve played are short and railroady, WaW and BO1 campaing’s are fantastically interesting and you don’t make a single choice in them.
