Ultima™ 7 The Complete Edition

I know the game is old, but holy donkeys that font is atrocious. It's insanely hard to read the in-game text. I've played plenty of games from the VGA era and all had legible text. Maybe it gets better, but I can't take the eye strain.

When this first came out in the early 90s, I was instantly hooked on the immersive world and simply in awe on how every object had its own properties. You can interact with just about everything. Simply amazing and I can't wait to relive the glory days of a fantastic game.

Definitely one of the crowning achievements of games to date. 6 stars. So worth it.. Played through it twice... Will do so again. Had to right review solely to state how they can get something so magnificent into 22 mb absolutely blows my mind... Way I see it, 4 hours of rpg greatness per megabyte. Now that is coding genius!

I played this game in 1993 when I was 9. Aside from becoming entirely absorbed into this two part series, it exponentially increased my reading level. I signed up to GOG and promptly downloaded this to do the same for my child.

Not sure what to say that others haven't already. I remember first getting it and being put off by the isometric view. If you are too, just wait. It will grow on you. Eventually you won't care. Finding and having your former adventuring friends join you feels awesome, even if you didn't play the previous games (I hadn't). There is good banter between them. There is a fair bit to read, and the text font can be annoying at times, but such a cool game if you like simply exploring. At one point I decided to explore systematically, and found so many random characters, monsters and hidden treasures (including the flying carpet!). The main story is also quite engrossing. I hope people don't pass over this gem simply because of game quirks. This is among the top two or three games I have ever played in about 25 years of gaming.
