Ultima™ 7 The Complete Edition

To be honest, I don't think it makes any sense to try and review this game. When talking about a legend you either lived it and get sparkly eyes remembering those moments or you come across it in the future and get convinced about something really awesome. Ultima VII represents everything that is great about enjoying RPGs. No boundaries, an expansive world, an increasingly stronger hero, companions that grow with you. Add to that an epic story and you're off. This is a game for a time when imagination took you yonder and graphics and music played on that. It is the year 2012 and this classic is what it is. The magic is in the depth of this story and you get to play the Avatar. Be a hero for once. In good old fashion mode.

Ultima 7, hands down, is my all-time favorite game and is why I joined GOG. I first played this back in 3rd grade and have played this game so many times and have put so many hours into it. OK, so maybe I am a tad bit biased due to nostalgia, however, that said, I also play many games and am still a game connoisseur. The graphics are really well done, with each NPC having their own unique portrait really fleshes out the atmosphere of the game. Every NPC has something to say and it not only just dialogue but there is a narrative in there. This is worth mentioning because I feel like NPCs in games like Skyrim just feel soulless to me. Ultima 7 just has more depth and you find yourself actually caring and interested in what the NPCs say. This really is the meat and potatoes of the game. There are TONS of things to talk about and people to see, hidden loot all over the place and the main storyline, to me, was amazingly well told. It's one of those stories that has stayed with me since. Really, I only have one gripe with U7 and that is the combat. It just feels a little clunky and for RPG players out there will feel a little out of place. This is by far the best executed Ultima to date and is just one of those timeless games. With engines like Exult, U7 can be taken one step further.

This game is so good! I took a dump and it smelled so bad. The quest begins as you are already well knows as the avatar, so I would highly recommend starting from the 4th or 5th title, just so you get an idea of what is going on. This game, however, is so good you would do extremely well playing it by itself. Just buy this game, it is worth every penny, or whatever currency you use to purchase things in.

This game achieved a deeper, more interactive and fully realized world than any other RPG I have ever played. I love many games on GOG, but this is my favorite, without question. Only in recent years have any other games even come close to achieving what this game did in 1991.

Been around since the very first version of digger on DOS. Having played pretty much everything on PC for the past 20 years, I can safely say this game is an absolute masterpiece. Nothing has ever stood so far above anything it's peers could come up with like Ultima 7 (with all expansions!) This game is an absolute classic, a must play!! (get exult and play it on modern OS') 20+ years of gaming and this gets my nr 1 spot. Hail Britannia !
