Greedfall

Here are the games I think you should play while you're stuck inside waiting for COVID-19 lockdown to end -- y'all remember the drill, I assume, from when Anna wrote up a heap of games to play while stuck in.

I don't know if the term closed world makes any sense per se, but considering that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim ushered in the term 'open world' and it's become synonymous with a certain kind of gameplay experience -- also known as sandbox games -- I thought I'd talk about whether or not gamers are finally ready to embrace games which don't subscribe to that philosophy.

After about a month of playing Greedfall, I finally finished it last night and I immediately wanted to write a review of it for the site, because it's a game unlike anything else I've played in years.

Straight up, I do not think I've seen a fantasy RPG willing to take as many narrative chances as Greedfall in quite some time.
