This game is very much inspired by Warframe and other looter shooter games. There is plenty of content, a lot of Descendants at launch, weapons, a full campaign and enough end game content to keep you occupied.

Pros
+ Great looking game, characters, maps, locations etc.
+ Performance and Optimisation is pretty solid too for me (1st Gen Ryzen 5 Cpu, Radeon 6600 GPU, 16GB RAM)
+ Plenty of Descendants with different playstyles to choose from.
+ They can all be unlocked free (even if a bit grindy).
+ More Updates and Roadmap revealed and all looks promising.

Cons
- Monetization needs a bit of rework. Battlepass isn't good. No descendant skins in the BP, lots of emotes etc. It costs the equivalent of $10 which is fine but you don't get enough currency back to buy the next one as is the case in other games. Current selection of skins is also a bit limited. Basically 3-4 outfits for all of them pretty much.
- Buying ultimate skins is very expensive. Sold in bundles priced $60-$100 !
- a few other minor issues like robototic voice acting etc but not a big enough con.

Overall I am pretty happy with how this game has turned out at launch. I had played the previous betas of this game starting from the first one in late 2022. I had played that a lot (15+ Hours) and only briefly tried the later betas. My main issue with the betas was the performance. Happy to report that is all sorted and works very well even on my modest system now.

One thing I do feel is important to note here is that if you have played Looter Shooter games previously you are bound to enjoy and understand the game more. I had a few hundred hours in Warframe but I joined it in 2017-2018. Always felt like starting at episode 586 of the world's longest Soap Opera.

Here I felt more at home since I was here right from the beginning. There are a lot of things borrowed and systems that work like Warframe. Fast paced movement, grappling, farming missions quickly over and over to get drops etc.

There is a lot of grinding but its not as bad as some may say. As for the repetitive nature of missions etc I feel that is once again something that is only an issue for people who don't like Looter Shooters or other games with a similar gameplay loop. I even liked Outriders, so maybe that explains why I am liking this.

They also provide all the information for grinding and obtaining materials in the game. May take a little time to fully understand but everything is available in game.

So overall I would recommend this game but keep in mind you have to like the looter shooter genre to enjoy this properly. The only issue is probably some of the drop rates and prices for cosmetics etc. I feel a little fine tuning there and it should be something the does well. Lets see how this game is a few months from now but player numbers are good and game is fun for now.

UPDATE after almost 400 Hours :

Still enjoying and still plan to play more. A few things worth mentioning.

+Devs have been great so far. 7 patches released so far since launch in less than 2 months. They are listening to the feedback and improving things. Lots of improvements already which have helped reduce grind and made things a lot smoother.

There is a lot of comparison to Warframe online from other reviews on YT. Makes sense but most of the comments are along the line of "this is a poor clone of WF, I am going back to WF".
I don't think this is meant to be a replacement to Warframe. I feel its for those who tried WF and did not like it because it was too vast and difficult to understand. I had approx 250 hours and I barely understood how to do the basic things. Kept constantly asking friends about how to do certain things.
With TFD I am already making simple guides to help out people because its easier to understand.

I hope TFD does well long term and holds an active playerbase but if it doesn't that's ok too because I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with it so far and in this crowded market its done alright.

Greedfall. Where do I begin with Greedfall. This is one of those games that people either love or hate. It does some things incredibly well and some very poorly. This game is in a fantasy New World setting (the term used to describe the Americas during the early 16th century when it was first discovered by Europeans).

This is a deep character driven RPG where dialogue plays a big part and being involved in the story is important as every side quest is very much connected to the whole story.

Pros

- Very detailed fantasy story with extremely developed characters all tied nicely to the bigger picture.
- Some of the best side quests I have played since the Witcher.
- Excellent voice acting. Maybe the best part of this game.
- Several factions and lot of flexibility in which ones to side with and how each choice affects the overall relationship with them.

Cons

- Animations are bad. Lip syncing is off, just looks janky.
- Lot of issues which can be put down to being developed by a small team like repeated interiors, empty town centres, npcs repeating the same 3 lines of dialogue every time they see you etc.
- Enemy AI is pretty lacklustre as well. You have to sometimes walk right up to them to "activate" them and then they start attacking you.

So did i like it ?
Yes, very much but I am well aware that this would not be most people's cup of tea. The best way I can describe is imagine watching a movie made in South Africa or something. Its in English, the accents are a little different and it may feel limited from a technical stand point but they do things differently. And you like it. That's how i felt with this game.

The setting plays a big part, the great voice acting, the in-depth quest design and the unusual fantasy setting all contribute to this. Just don't play this if you are going in for the combat or if you don't like listening to lengthy dialogue with a lot of political intrigue.

You are a diplomat and dealing with multiple different factions and managing your relationships with all of them is the main part of this game.

I had pre-ordered this game and no lifed it when it came out. All the 40 hours or so you see here were at launch inside a week after release. I haven't done this since for any other game.

Its hard for me to describe this game properly. Watching a bit of gameplay will help greatly.

If you want you can watch my stream soon after launch early in the game (after the prologue bit) to get an idea : https://youtu.be/jIOKgl9wPt8?t=42
