Godfall - Deluxe Edition (PS5)

Godfall ist mit Abstand einer der eintönigsten Titel, die wir die letzten Jahre zum Testen erhalten haben: Die kurze Spielzeit, der fehlende Wiederspielwert und keinerlei Bemühungen des Entwicklers, auch nur irgendetwas aus der Spielwelt und der Geschichte herauszuholen, machen Godfall zum schlechtesten der PS5-Launch-Titel.

It’s hard to say whether Godfall will receive the support it needs to really help with its longevity in the long run.

It takes a while for Godfall’s combat to truly open up and when it does, you’ll revel in its beefy ballet of well-timed blows and counters. That said, it’s hard to ignore the flimsy scaffolding that keeps this PS5 launch title standing, the lack of matchmaking, and a loot system you’ll quickly lose interest in.

Uninteresting loot mixed with a monotonous and grindy structure is not a good combination, and for as satisfying and fun as it can often be to hack your way through one battle after another, there's not enough here to sustain that enjoyment for more than a few hours.

Godfall is going to go down as one of the most divisive games of this generation's launch: a relic to some, a wild whispered-about gem to others.

Loot is handled remarkably well and combat is fun, but the world, story, and missions don't have much of a pulse.
