Return to Krondor

Those who expect the sequel to match its fabled predecessor are for a big disappointment. The game stinks. The storyline is still fascinating but feels nowhere as "close and personal" as that in the first game. The gameplay is stunted, resources are overly abundant, challenging parts are few and far between, and the whole game can easily be finished in a few hours. Buy or stay away, $3 price tag makes it a flat choice.

Mediocre on almost all accounts. Inconsistent voice acting (though Earl Boen, of Monkey Island fame, is a pleasant treat as always. Clumsy and time-consuming inventory management. Money is useless for over half the game. The learning curve's pacing is all over the place, with features such as resting and alchemy being revealed all of a sudden with no rhyme or reason. Combat is a tiresome affair. Zero dramatic tension throughout the entire story, with characters you just can't bring yourself to care about and a haphazard plot that leaves you cold throughout. On the plus side, I suppose there's this hilarious witch who provides some genuinely amusing levity in an otherwise uninspired and uninspiring game. Only get this if you're an RPG addict and the game happens to be on sale.

While this may not be everyone's favorite game. This game has a special place in my heart and is one of my favorites. There is some depth to this game, but you have to know where to find it.

Speed run it, I'll teach you how

Great Nostalgic Experience. Almost noone i know has played this game, but for me it was a nice experience still today.
