Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
I remember this from decades ago. I was blown away when I saw it listed here. It's been so long I forgot about out it. I immediately purchased it. Unfortunately, it's just not fun. Random encounters, poor story, everything about it is more tedious than fun.
After quitting the team behind the never released, bizarre and now infamous W "Stones of Arnhem", Neanderthal Cleveland Mark Blakemore took it upon himself to create a true sequel to Wizardry 7.
More than 20 years in the making, Grimoire is everything that was promised and more. Finally on GoG where it belongs with the other great classics of the RPG genre. A must buy!
The manual already reveals 2 things:
1 You're treated as someone who has never played a video game before.
2 Everything is needlessly complicated and convoluted to infinity (e.g. who the F needs 2 or 3 spells for discovering secrets and another 1 or 2 commands to act on what was found).
On top of that, the game functionally foes not work well: e.g. you can't Alt Tab out and you'll be forced to use the power button to turn off the PC, as you'll get stuck with nonresponsive game window and the inability to open or select any other program (and the Task Manager).
Selecting the most basic thing is also set up in the dumbest way possible: e.g. why can't I press escape to bring up the save and exit option like in any other game, or how the UI is set up in such a dumb way I'd be hunting for the movement controls or anything else to actually play.
On top of all that, the dev is a jerk with a god complex.
E.g. he will actively belittle and insult people for solid, informative and constructive negative reviews on Steam in such a way it would be too charitable to call it childish and immature.
The worst Internet trolls do not reach his level.
