Now, I don’t know if this is actually something that was changed at all, or maybe it’s just how it was originally worded that didn’t specify, but Macros is actually your, Orin’s, brother. One of the things that stood out to me when I read through it was the difference in the story. If you haven’t yet, I do recommend you check out our original review, which you can find here, where you’ll find a more in-depth synopsis. So while I won’t be able to comment a whole lot on how improved the game is, I can at least speak on my own experience with the game and maybe I can even convince you to give Godfall a second chance. ![]() I, unfortunately, was not able to play the original PlayStation 5 version of this game, but I have been given the opportunity to check it out for the Xbox Series X. Many of the comments I read or heard from people were that the gameplay just wasn’t fun and the story was very lacking or incomplete. In any case, I recommend picking this up if you’re a fan of fantasy adventures in weird worlds such as The Last Airbender.When Godfall first released for the PlayStation 5 back in 2020, it was met with a mix of reviews - most of them unfortunately very negative. I don’t have a problem with a nice complement now and then but I do feel it’s a violation of the “show don’t tell” principle of every visual medium. It’s plain to see the creative team has a lot planned for this but I really wish they’d lay off the narration in the next issues. Godfell presents a new and engaging world with a promising albeit small cast of characters. It helps to build the anticipation of the character. They complement the atmosphere of action scenes with gory squishes but my favorite display of good use of lettering is the sound of Zanzi sharpening her weapon throughout a whole day before deserting the army. He does fine with the narration and speech bubbles but the sound effects – as usual – are where Campbell’s work shines the most. Lettering by Jim Campbell gets the job done. Farrell also did the gore of the comic quite well which makes me excited to see what will be inside a giant dead body. And the splash with god’s cadaver is just plain gorgeous to look at. The colors are applied to bring forth a feeling attached to the scenarios as well as the passage of time. My favorite part of it is the backdrops during Zanzi’s journey montage. God’s partial design is, yet again, very intriguing because it is alien to everything else shown until now.Ĭolors by Triona Farrell are stunning. Animals with features mixed with our regular ones posed against a variety of architectural scenarios bring the promise of an exciting world due to how familiar and yet weird it is. The rest of the designs are pretty engaging too. Artist Ben Hennessy made the protagonist’s facial expressions very subtle but they come through quite nicely and the reader is able to relate to the character easily. A giant warrior woman ready to take on the world with her giant axe. ![]() The first thing that drew me to the artwork was Zanzi’s design. She’s determined to quit the war and return to her love and children. ![]() It’s made obvious how much of a badass she is by the respect and outright fear her peers feel for her. She’s a classic strong and silent type rare for female characters. I did like how writer Christopher Sebela used god’s fall as an excuse to show the readers what they have prepared for this comic world since the event affects different cultures in different ways. Up until the sixth page or so the readers are given nothing but poetic narration. The opening of Godfell is a straightforward exposition. Zanzi is clearly a natural-born warrior having no trouble dealing with multiple enemies at once. The comic then turns to a battlefield where the story’s protagonist, Zanzi Vuiline, is mowing down enemies. As the impact of the titanic body hitting the ground spreads across the land we are shown and told how it affected the cultures in the vicinity of ground zero, Kerethim. Godfell #1 starts off by showing us the day of the titular fall of a creature some belief to be the god that created this universe. But this does not stop the main character from reaching her loved ones after a long war as she ventures through god’s body to achieve her goals. Vault Comics new title Godfell tells us the story of a world where god suddenly fell from the sky and disrupted life as it was. ![]() Godfell #1 Vault Comics Writer: Christopher Sebela Art: Ben Hennessy Colors: Triona Farrell Letters: Jim Campbell
