Find the Key, Anyone?
I remember liking the beginning and end of this game. I also liked how the combat played out in the game world. But for whatever reason I also remember being disappointed with the game as a whole. Lots of boring fights with areas where boring, unavoidable enemies respawn? Lots of find the key/pull the lever quests? I think it had both of those.

Has a lot to offer
This is one of those that is difficult to recommend entirely and I can 100% understand why many will prefer not to play this at all. I must have played it somewhere between a half and a full dozen times total over the years but I doubt I ever will again. One of the biggest strengths is that this is something you can really get into. It has a fascinating world and lore, the conflict is gripping, the settings, characters, etc. are deeply memorable and like StarCraft and Star Wars it doesn't feel the need to spoon feed you every single little thing, a lot of things just are and it feels much more natural. The magic system allows you to do some incredibly cool stuff and the cards used for it feel earned as you get access to them gradually over the course of it meaning that there's usually something new still yet to come as you play all the way through this. This is also true of the playable characters and their main attacks, nine of each, not all equally useful. Though the downside is that the gameplay loop is ultimately just not quite enough to keep you engaged throughout the entire thing. I would say that the last five to ten percent of this, each time that I played it, I kept going just because I wanted to get to the end. It is at least a little bit too long even though the plot itself does warrant its length overall. There are more limited turn-based strategy games out there but even so this is still slightly underwhelming. Combat is sometimes very frequent. There are areas where you'll barely spend a few seconds between fights and this ends up tedious. The game could do more to make it clear what exactly you’re meant to do to proceed. There's some moon logic to puzzles. The graphics are good, the voice acting holds up. You encounter a number of different cultures over the course of this and all of them feel authentic. Everywhere feels lived in and as a bit of a mythology nerd it was quite fun recognizing where they took inspiration, for example a Trickster God.

Better than remembered
I played this game, when I was 13-14, with limited english knowledge, end struck in level 4 I think. Few months ago, I found its CD, and after I found out it's broken, decided to buy the game. If you want to play a game, what is genuinly make you think, combine, investigate, then this is your game! Not foolproof, realy hard, but rewarding! From today's perspective, the battles are slow paced, but it is bearable. Have fun!

Blast of the past
I rate this game extremely highly with the character builds as well as story line - complex for its time and keeps you interested
