Arx Fatalis

Captures the wonder of exploration and the feeling that there might be danger around every corner in a way modern RPGs I've played don't quite manage. I was born is 2002 so this game holds no sort of nostalgia for me, and whilst the controls don't handle exactly like we might expect nowadays, it's really not anywhere so janky as others seem to make it sound. I loved the sound design, the unusual soundtrack, the immersive magic mechanics, and the charming characters of this world. Not at all hand-holdy, but I know that's what many of us prefer. Highly recommend!

Contender for my favorite game of all time tied with BG3 and Kotor 1 i bought it for my little brother and he beat the game (he's 11) crazy that he was able to appreciate such a Classic gem

There are old game and there are outdated games. Deus Ex, FF7, MGS 1, Fallout 1 and 2, these are old, but they still work, they feel intuitive and they can still feel fresh even in modern times (if you ignore the polygon count). This game on the other hand, ♥♥♥♥ is outdated as ♥♥♥♥. Magick system is pure ass, casting it in combat is impossible, spells also like to drain your mana AFTER the initial cast, so like wall of flame needs x amount to cast and eats up rest of your mana to keep going. This kills any strategy with magic cause casting more than 2 spells just drains you dry in seconds. There is also this insane difficulty spike at a certain point where enemies wear armour with 38 defence apiece, up to that point best chestplate i found had 10. Only compliment this game gets is for sounds, ambience is amazing and even depending on what you wear you make different sounds. Update, AND YOU CAN SOFTLOCK THE GAME BECAUSE YOU DIDNT PICK UP A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ITEM FROM A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CULTIST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME THAT YOU NEED AT THE VERY END TO ACCESS FINAL BOSS!!!

come on Nightdive studios remake :)

good game

Va de más a menos, definitivamente. No puedo decir que sea una obra maestra, porque tiene secciones que están medio rotas, además de algunos enemigos que son auténticas esponjas de vida, pero en general es un conjunto que he disfrutado mucho, en especial al principio, viendo todo ese mundo tan interconectado y que se va desbloqueando poco a poco. La mejor forma de describirlo sería como una mezcla entre Morrowind y King's Field, definitivamente. El sistema de magia va regular a veces y el conjunto se siente imperfecto, pero creo que precisamente es la gracia de este juego. Se siente humano, no es perfecto y no pretende serlo, pero se nota que los creadores quisieron probar muchas cositas. Algunas funcionan genial y otras... no tanto, pero definitivamente merece la pena darle un try, la atmósfera y el vibe son completamente únicos y es mi mierda totalmente. Importante aclarar que lo he jugado con el parche de Arx Libertatis, que por lo visto, lo hace mucho más jugable en un PC actual.

This game just hits you right in the nostalgia, even if you weren't alive yet. Clunky af, difficult at times, but it feels like there's a secret hidden around every pixelated corner, and that's what makes it great.

Old RPG that while completely playable is awkward in controls and menu with lots of level transitions. As someone used to more convenient games i just got too exhausted by the inconveniences but if not for that i would have enjoyed playing the game.

Довольно таки хорошая рпгшка. Конечно многим может не зайти из за того что толком нету подсказок, и то, что можно заруинить игру, если полезть дальше сюжета. Понравилась фишка с заклинаниями, где ты сам их должен чертить. В добавку у игры очень хорошая атмосфера. Ну и мне не совсем понравилось играть за воина. Вроде прокачлся хорошо, но тебя фигачат быстро, а некоторые враги впитывают в себя урон как губки. Моя оценка 8 из 10

ебёт голаву.
