Throne of Chaos is a divine thing
Not much to add to the praise others have given the game, except that maybe it is one of those rare things made by people that seems to rise above the sum of its parts and achieve some sort of higher synergy. And, like a good wine, it is only getting better with age.

Horrible game
I played this game in the 90s, beat it. This version is unplayable, endless respawns of overpowered enemies in certain levels kill any joy. On any difficulty setting. Maybe my version is bugged.

LOL 1 is great, LOL2 sucks
Loved Lands of Lore when I bought it years ago and never managed to complete it (pre-internet hints and tips). I can now proudly say that I have defeated Scotia and am the Hero of Gladstone! Really good dungeon-crawler with imagination, great music, impression-worthy characters (Hello, I'm Baccata!). Great fun. LOL2 - hate the movement, hate the graphics, can't get into it at all. Sure I will attempt it at some point but it's a disappointment after the first game. They should have just stuck with the cartoon graphics and same movement system, made the inventory easier to sort, and just left it at that. Sure it could be a good game but I just can't be bothered!

Great game, but port is unfinished.
I have played this game many times. I love the LOL series (OK III is a like, not love). Anyway, the port is pretty good, but has some holes. It does not need 3D acceleration anymore, but the game would benefit from features like AA. The controls don't let you use more than two mouse buttons which is very limiting. The keyboard is hard to configure for a standard wasd strafe setup. The biggest failure is a glitch that many (including me) have had which stops you mid-game at a vital scene - actually, the very animation that is about to occur in the first game preview image. The game crashes to desktop. There are a dozen articles about this online. For an old, lightly selling game, this is suggestive of a wide spread problem. In all, fantastic game, but GOG needs to work some port kinks out, and some modernizing enhancement options would be nice.
