Godfall: Challenger Edition will release on PlayStation Plus as basically a vertical slice of Godfall. Let's not start doing that.
The past couple of days players and to a lesser extent our staff have criticized Godfall Challenger Edition.
I like how this comment is literally one word and an emoji and was even edited at least once and still manages to have the wrong you're.
Didn’t even bother downloading this.. played chivalry 2 free weekend was pretty impressed.. I would recommend
While I did bookmark the game I actually downloaded and played "Mortal Shell". Somehow I am not overly keen on starting a game with full attributes (at least according to the reviews I have seen).
Actually, I think "Mortal Shell" is a much better game although when you first start you are not sure what you are doing. I do suggest that you look at some game-play (sans spoilers) and get an understanding of the basics before playing.
The game, "Mortal Shell" is "Souls like" although it does have features that set it apart such as the ability to harden yourself (think of it as a shield) and instead of souls you use "tar". Of course you can get four different shells (think armour) and weapons are up-gradable.
Of course if you don't like "Souls games" then "Mortal Shell" is not for you.
As for "LEGO® DC Super-Villains", well it is not my style of game but I am quite sure many players are going to like it and that is good.
I got bored already.
Theres a tower mode and some other missions mode thats very linear, run to boss kind of situation.
The earnable armor skins for the valorplates are just different colours/texture adjustments.
Its like a stripped down mobile game.
The armors are different designs as well as build types. They also have things they specialize in with different special attacks.
You can customize the valor plates with augments that give extra stats and abilities to help you achieve desired effects. Because even if you can have the same equipment it doesn’t have the same output.
As for the content… it’s endgame post content… of course it’s linear. The boss rush is a boss rush like any game. The tower is a survival mode… like any games survival mode.
Yea the valorplates have different buffs.
Not a huge difference. Its like stat and some debuff with many overlapping Archon Fury between them. Poison debuff with longsword aoe proc build etc etc but thats all it is.
They all play very similar, if each felt like a whole new class that would make sense for this bare minimum feeling game.
The Armor skins are recoloured with some sparkles.
That’s where the skills make the difference as well. If you combine the skills with equipment abilities plus augments you can achieve pretty great combinations. And have different styles per plate.
Obviously each plate caters to different stats(fire,water,earth,critica l etc) so the depth is based on your own imagination. Unless you go for building online “perfect builds”
Yeah same I was five minutes in had met two enemies and got bored. It felt like a mobile game and was just funneling me down a hallway with barely an explanation of why I should care.
As it's "free", why not?
The game is actually good today (compared with a year ago).
Why? Because you'd waste time in a shitty scam of a bad game's demo. Why even waste 5 minutes on it?
I think if you are interested it is worth the exercise. But, if you weren't interested to begin with, it probably won't do anything for you.
I was interested in Marvel Avengers and Godfall last year but bought neither. I played Marvel Avengers on XB gamepass and deleted it fairly quickly because it is garbage. I might try Godfall because although I suck at these kind of hack n slash games I enjoy them. If I keep playing it is another story though.
But, I do not like that this is not the full as it was original game. So, purchasing the full original as it was game after I play this version is probably a hard pass.
People had problems with the game to begin with so they skipped to the end and let people play the endgame content insteadve bore there way through the whole game but of course people like to B! about everything
It's not a demo. It's the good part of the game. Just like in WoW, you skip the boring farm up until end-content and that's where the fun begins.
Same with most MMO's. If we don't count FFXIV which is actually fun all the way O can't think of many other mmo's where I'd actually had more fun levelling than doing the end-content stuff.
Well that's me and my opinion.
I won't waste more time on God Fall, I already did, and have to huge backlog to spend time on any non storydriven game.
Hell I even tried Crackdown 3 and Medium because they were "free". You might judge games by the cover but others are hopefully smarter than you.
It's free so of course its worth trying, that's like saying is it worth trying a demo ffs.
Are people dumb these days ?
Money isn't the only cost, the question here is whether it's worth putting any real time into. With things like PS+ and Game Pass, being free doesn't make it worth playing as there's plenty of options.
Putting the time into it should be his choice and shouldn't bother other people if he wants to as it doesn't effect them.
@Axel - Thanks for stating the obvious. The games aren't technically free. But you don't pay for them directly, you don't own them, and you have no say over which ones go to the service. But that's not the point, I'm arguing against the "BUT ITS FREE, TRY IT OR ELSE UR DUMB!" stance.
There's so many games on these services that the vast majority of people won't have time to give all of them a proper go... And half of a mediocre game like Godfall isn't even worth the time of day in my opinion.
@dbcoops - I'm not sure if that was directed at me or not. But I wasn't criticising him for giving the game a go, I'm arguing against his opinion that everyone should try it just because it's "free". It shouldn't bother him if people choose not to give it a go.
There are countless free games and demos out there. Not enough time to play them all. Some people have lives outside of gaming all day.
Godfall Challenger Edition might be the latest way to experience the divisive game, but it is also an update for the base game.
Developer argues this edition is not a demo. Cut-down version will be sold separately for $15.
"This trial is not a demo cuz we are also selling it for $15" 🤣🤣🤣
They should have just kept quiet.
It's even worse now knowing that it's going to be free on the Epic Store.
I'm not upset about Godfall, I'm upset that they went out of their way to give you a glorified demo as part of Plus. For me it has very little to do with Godfall actually, just the practice of getting a demo as part of the subscription.
What is to stop other developers from doing the same in the future?
1000% this! They are essentially diluting the value of PS Plus by doing this. Before we know it, demos won't be free theyll just be a part of the subscription! Even the most staunch PlayStation fan has to see the slippery slope here 🤷
I mean, honestly what is so great about Godfall that they couldn't just give the full version as part of Plus? If this is a test they are about to get an F and have a whole bunch of negative press.
My guess? The game didn't sell no where near what they were hoping. Thus, strip it down to end game, sell it for $15 and offer an "upgrade" for the full version. Which is hilarious because they're saying it's not a trial, but will have the option to upgrade to the full game. What a joke.
Shame on Sony for even participating in this garbage. I actually own the game, but regardless, I won't be even claiming this title out of principle. I hope many others do the same. Sending some message is better than just being like "eh, it's "free" might as well try it." That "trying it" is gonna give Sony and other big companies ideas to exploits this the same way they all did with loot boxes. Not all, but many did.
Well, that would be Sony’s fault and Sony is the one that should stop other developers from doing the same thing in the future.
Its not like anyone forced Sony to include this version of the game, or for another example, to release a version of FF7 that could not be upgraded to the PS5 version. They knew exactly what the developer was intending to include and Sony decided it was fine

It’s literally the only good parts of the game. They got rid of the bloat and bs nobody liked. Still wouldn’t pay for the game regardless and I understand the thought that PSN could start delivering glorified demos but you really don’t want the full godfall experience. It’s diluted and not fun. This version focuses it up so it’s at least mostly enjoyable.
Good luck telling N4G that. The game was absolutely hindered by the story mode and initial grind. This version is the best version of the game and it should've released this way imo with everything else being dlc.
You're missing the point though. Who cares what anyone else thought, why not just give the game, bloat and all, and let the players decide for themselves?! It doesn't make much sense to cut out parts of a full game and then claim your giving away a full game! It's not a full game if they cut out anything. Even if it's "free" as part of the sub, people are going to feel like they're missing something as they are not giving the full version.
Yesterdays claim by the entitled gamers was "a demo with no access to the endgame". Today they learn they get the endgame but what they really want is the grind but as of yesterday that's wasn't good enough...
Xbox fanboys, what can ya do.
Even if it is, they should have sold it, but Sony shouldn't have included it in the ps plus subscription.
I agree with an awful lot of this. Could have taken the words straight out of my mouth.
I do actually like getting the multiplayer games on Plus though. It usually means a large player base to take advantage of for a while.
I didnt know Godfall Challenger Edition was free on Epic though so that's even worse
Meanwhile, on gamepass...
Indeed, this is a dangerous precedent. Just give us a different game if Gearbox/2K didn't want to actually give us Godfall.
It’s also going to be free on epic game store for like two weeks to download. But it shows it’s a model Gearbox wanted to try to get people into their game at a lower cost.
The amount of disingenuous information going on with this games release is insane.
Yeah. I seriously doubt Sony will allow this in the future. Getting the game with the sub and having to pay for optional dlc is one thing. Getting a add on free and having to buy the game separately is another.
Something tells me not even Sony realized what the “Challenger Edition” was. I would have assumed it was the full game with added content. Like a expansion. Anyway, not the end of the world.
