Kung Fu RPG

Seemingly caught between 2 Bioware masterpieces - KotOR & ME - the game still manages to stand on its own. Having a "light vs dark" alignment system (recognised in their other games) supporting the story (and mechanics) is a strong foundation, and the narrative itself (with some unexpected turns) is also solid. Fighting (and other supporting mechanics) may seem simple and/or clunky at its core, but once you get the hang of it, it's also somewhat satisfying. All the fighting styles and visuals also manage to solidify that "fantasy Chinese empire" feel of the game. Characters seem well written and plenty different to keep interest, supported by solid VA. The game shows its age after 20 years, but it's worth experiencing what that era's Bioware has to offer - the good and the bad.

On Jade Empire

Maybe it is just nostalgia speaking from me, but after many many years of pause I downloaded Jade Empire and I can say, despite the older graphics, this game still stands to time in pretty much every aspect of what a hardly story driven rpg should be.

Jade Empire

Played this before on the original Xbox. Great game and a reminder on how good Bioware used to be.

A bioware classic

Big thanks to GOG for getting this game running smoothly on modern hardware. My only complaint is out of the box controller configurations were quite strange, and required some digging on reddit to get a setup that worked better.
