Ultima™ 7 The Complete Edition

This game achieved a deeper, more interactive and fully realized world than any other RPG I have ever played. I love many games on GOG, but this is my favorite, without question. Only in recent years have any other games even come close to achieving what this game did in 1991.

Das wohl beste Rollenspiel das es gibt. Soviel Tiefgang bietet kaum ein anderes RP. Klar ist die Grafik nicht mit einem Skyrim zu vergleichen, aber die Freiheit in diesem Spiel ist einfach gigantisch.

I still remember reading the review in PC Format worrying about how I was going to clear the HD space for this massive game!

The most amazing thing about Ultima VII isn't the open-world gameplay. It's the fact that despite combat being a complete mess, inventory management a nightmare, and spell-casting being opaque and cumbersome, the sheer level of immersion and quality of the world makes this a viable contender for greatest CRPG of all time.

Note that I haven't bought this off GOG, because I still own the original. So if there are any compatibility issues with GOG's version, I'm not aware of them. It's almost impossible to overstate how jaw-droppingly amazing this game was when it came out. The sheer depth of the simplest things - dialog, the paperdoll, crafting - defies description for a game from 1992. But at the same time the world is small and detailed enough that all of the characters matter. Combat is a weak point but frankly it hardly matters. Eventually you'll just treat combat as a little chore to continue exploration.
