This is one of those rare RPGs that is great in every single aspect, graphics, music, gameplay, combat, characters, voice acting, world building, story telling, good gods the story telling in this game!

GreedFall is right up there with the golden age Bioware RPGs like KotOR, DA: Origins, and Mass Effect. It is visually gorgeous, combat is really fun and very varied depending on how you choose to tailor your character and what you're faced with, the world itself is very captivating and keeps you coming back for more even after completing the game.
It also plays heavily into the fact that as De Sardet, you are a diplomat first and foremost, and actively punishes you for not behaving appropriately. That being said, running a playthrough as Scumbag De Sardet, Biggest Arsehole of the Century, is something everyone should try, because even if it hurts your soul, it is so much fun and lets you see parts of the game you probably wouldn't otherwise get to experience.

One thing I found that is rather unique in this type of game is that there are no side quests that are just 'busy work', each one of them adds something to the story, and many, if not most, of them will have an impact on the choices available to you further down the road.
You get good sized group of companions to accompany you on your travels across the island, swapping them around for various missions feels very natural, as they each belong to a different faction and will have more to add to specific scenarios than the others might. The characters are for the most part well fleshed out, you come to care about them and their fates, making some of the choices really difficult, some even break your heart a little.
The game lets you heavily impact the story, and there are so many different variables to discover that may change simply depending on which order you complete quests in, or who you bring with you, and thus replayability is very high.

The game is not without flaws, but they are very minor and easily overlooked.
Overall, this game is a gem, and I for one can't wait for GreedFall II and a chance to experience more of this world.

Super sweet little game, visually stunning, lovely music. Free too, so if you have an hour to kill it's well worth it.

It's just stupidly fun, this game. Especially with friends, and the (these days rather small) community is mostly friendly.

Of course it's amazing, it's Skyrim.
