Wizardry 8

THE SINGLE GREATEST RPG OF ALL TIME! I have been around since Pong and played every RPG since, including the entire D&D Gold Box series and the entire Might & Magic series. I honestly don't think I've missed a single game worth playing. WIZARDRY 8 is simply awesome from start to finish in every aspect. It's graphics are Godlike for its time, and its playability and storyline are unmatched to this day. Even with games like Dragon Age and Skyrim, I still go back and play trough Wizardry 8 about every 2 years... and each time, its every bit as fun as the first. My children (now ages 24 and 25) still do the same thing, playing it through every couple years since the age of 13 or so. I've jumped 22,000 out of a plane before, and with similar regard, I consider THIS game to be something that I am happy to have experienced in my life. I simply cannot recommend this game enough. It is nearly flawless <3

I bought Wizardry 8 for the first time yesterday on November 8th, 2022 for my modern Windows 10 PC and the game runs fine. The reviews here talking about how this game doesn't work on modern systems almost made me not try this amazing game but they're wrong! I attribute their issues to user error. The game DOES work on modern systems and can even handle mods. I never crashed once, it worked straight out of the box so to speak. The game play is great but I wanted to focus on the technical side of things since the reported issues here almost made me move on. TL;DR: Game runs fine on modern PCs and can handle mods.

Lets be real here, you're locked at home and there are no new games coming out. You're gonna play this, look at the graphics and be doubtful about it. Then look at the clock and realize its been 3 hours since you told yourself that "eh the graphics tho."

I've been craving a good dungeon crawler for a long time. I liked Grimlock, enough, but I've never been too into the genre. However, I'm always looking out for games like this. Yeah, it's old, but it aged well. At first I thought it was going to be grid based, but it was not! This game lets you look around freely, and move anywhere. There are zones, but the areas are so large it isn't a problem. Character customization is great, the few voiceovers are superb. The Combat is intense and immensely tactical. There are many times I fought my way out of a losing situation, because I thought about my situation and worked out of it. Brilliant Game, would recommend!

Wizardy 8 is the greatest CRPG of all time. The story is kind of lame, the number of NPCs laughable and the villain a bit one note. So why is this game the greatest? Because of the rich and magnificient character creation and development system. I have been playing this game for 24 years, ascended and finished the game inumerable times and I still play and get excited about starting a new party of 6 and either focus on optimization of a powermonger build, a silly build that can finish the game despite ther silliness, or anything in between. Becoming intimate with the game and knowing all the tricks and traps is the first level. After that it is creativity and developing your party that allows you to compose rhapsodic melodies of slaughter and magical mayhem. The game will kill you, and rarely love you, but will thrive with death and learn to love the game.
