Not a lesser Ultima Underworld,different
[Technical Note]: Seems to crash above 1080p and some visuals are corrupted on modern OS (not the native condition under which the game was released) but the same goes with Steam version. [Review]: Everything in this game felt interesting be it for its special mechanics or the atmosphere and story. Generally speaking all the sections of the game had something to bring to the table and the semi open world feeling was great as each section gave a sense of accomplishment as you discovered and unlocked more sections of the game. So while linear for the most part levels wise, a good portion of the content could be dealt differently with alternative results and hidden elements (including undocumented spells) that were fun to enjoy on a second and third walkthrough of the game and allowed players to enjoy multiple gameplay styles be it a pure mage, warrior or thief as the three main character types were all technically accomplishable to the end and satisfying! [Semi-spoiler - I once finished the game realizing I did not went to the Crypt at all which felt amazing] Overall by looking at this game years after completing it the first time I can notice some lack of polish in the gameplay mechanics and some rough edges on the visual level compared to other games of the time but was still a solid game nonetheless. [Spoiler: One element that kept bugging thought the years I re-played this gamer were the requirements of some of the best weapons in the game that penalized “jack of all trade” type of character as a player with medium strength and medium dexterity could not use at least one of the best swords and one best daggers that the game offered which was kind of a bummer in retrospective. Also the difficulty of the final boss with a rogue character was a bit annoying as you had to be prepared to fiddle around to be able to beat the game in that context]. This is a must have game for Ultima Underworld fans! P.S.: Would be a dream in VR with how magic was implemented!
