I actually liked Greedfall. It definitely has a mix of Dragon Age and Fable vibes with the open exploration and the various main quest and side quests. Set in the 18th century it definitely showcases colonialism and all the problems and horrors that come with it. I felt frustrated with some of the story pacing in some areas because while the main character got to make a lot of choices, a lot of them felt like I didn't really get to do much for the sake of diplomacy. I enjoyed the combat and felt it had a great system that had a good mix of melee and magic. I liked exploring the island and fighting the giant creatures while learning about the native people of the island. Overall, I had fun playing the game in spite of some of the story issues.

Very much a film of two halves, this starts with an intriguing question: the volcano on the Dinosaur's island is about to blow, so what do you do?

Do you save the 'de-extinct' Dinosaurs (who are only 'alive' because of man's intervention, or is this nature's way of course-correcting (as Jeff Goldblum's Dr Ian Malcolm puts it).

With the government falling in with Dr Malcolm's Point of view, (Bryce Dallas Howard's) Dr Claire Dearing (now a Dinosaur's Rights activist, following the events of Jurassic World) and (Chris Pratt's) Dinosaur behaviorologist Owen Grady find themselves back on the island to rescue as many of the Dinosaurs as they can.

And that's the first half of the movie.

The second half then turns into - effectively - a haunted house story as (of course) the Dinosaurs break out of containment in the Lockwood estate for story reasons (which I'm not going into here), before the film ends with the (metaphorical) gates to the Park now wide open.

Dreamland captures what it was like to be in the Guilded Age but not rich. He weaves the chracters within the setting of New York City and Coney Island just as a master would weave a tapestry. The combination of shirtwaist workers, gamblers, and gangsters makes this an enjoyable read. It can get a bit confusing but if you know anything about New York at this time life was always a bit confusing and harried.
