Wizardry 8

Still great RPG after all this years. With some custom mechanic.

If there's a downside of this game, it's the impossibility of mastering every single facet of gameplay in a single playthrough, whether that's a handful of spells too many for your spellbook, lacking a Bard or Gadgeteer for those unique items, or even the question of the nearly-mythical Cane of Corpus that most will not have a party member capable of using their first time. Plus, multiple endings and story paths. Wait, that means replay value, which is a plus... Nevermind, no negatives.

Creative worldbuilding, engaging combat, hilarious writing with memorable characters and top-notch voice acting, a veritable compendium of enemies each with their own idiosyncracies, strengths and weaknesses...simply a wonderful execution of a brilliantly conceived game. One of the very rare games that is both high quality throughout yet never takes itself too seriously. All-time classic.

Much fun and very good recovery in the switch of designers. Wonderful video RPG party-based game. Balance your party. Small spoiler: Recommend p[icking up the android beyond the swamps.

the game can be replayed with a wide variety of class/race combinations. you can increase the difficulty or reduce the number of party members for an additional challenge. always fun to play.
