Little Bit of RPG Perfection

I think, amongst all RPGs I've played on a PC, this one is my favorite. There's something so perfect about it that I love it, in spite of its flaws. There's a couple of confusing puzzles late in the game, and the 3D doesn't look great by today's standards, and especially should've never been done on a game that looks this beautiful 2D, but overall, it's a fantastic game and worth your time.

Game with message greater than us ?

Team Thalion, that was quite active in Amiga gamemaking business (Ambermoon, Amberstar) started their new project, but joined BlueByte -> Ubisoft. We know it all, all about small studios getting "owned" by big companies. This time it had no impact on the true story and message guys from Thalion wanted to share with the world, with us. Their previous projects were already full of fantasy + sci-fi, interweaved with stories about end-of-the-world, catastrophe that changes daily live, heroes (of course), family ties, responsibility, and not very mainstream reference to alien life, travel trough the universe and visiting distant stars. Very much "from where we hail, where we are going", just adding "be a part of the change by making difficult choices". And of course, learning something of the world, no one knew. So we have now Albion, much more "grown-up", mastered from video/audio/story perspectives. Much more straight forward, no more hiding behind metaphors, and calling out real history/present dogmas as they are. Also there is a twist in the details, that the game starts as "sci-fi" and reveals fantasy/history, what is compared to previous projects new. But the best is how the game reveals a story so deep, that it literally touches you souls in its true base. Gameplay: well, visuals are great for the time the game was released, nowadays we have to be very understanding to see the beauty in it, which is there and is huge. Same goes for music and audio. So we have a game that reaches out to our inner art-loving beings and captures them. At the same time the game can leave us off-guard by throwing us in somehow open world, where we can get lost, bombards us with text we have to "decipher" to learn how relevant it is to the story / game or if it is just add-on-value. And just when the game seems to be just a normal adventure, we have to fight our first RPG fight. Here is one of the few negatives, the game is somehow "slow" on combat and also requires a lot clicks.

A gem

One year ago has bought my brother this game here on GoG and I tried it now for fun. And...I was very surprised, this game is absolutely fantastic. I am big fan of Might and Magic sequel, but this game got me. Alien planet looks perfectly, plants and animals are unique, the same about humanoid race Iskai. There are many details what we can examine or we can manipulate with them. Something like in Fallout. There are dozens texts what perfectly create story line. Like not a teen-age guy, I don't have so much time play it on PC, so I play it on my phone in free time, so if is someone interested here is the installation guide fo Android. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_upDbub8dyY

90 RPG/Dungeoncrawler mix

Albion has a lot of good things going for it: For example, graphics looked awesome for the time, you can evade combat encounters, music is very good, controls are simple but work, gadgets improve navigation, resting system allows for magic use to not be tedious. On the flaws or shortcomings, it is very linear story wise, it has one good plot twist in the first part of story but the intensity of that reveal is never recovered in later parts. You can solve parts of the game the wrong way or the right way but this has very limited effect of the rest of the game. So many times story points are resolved and dont matter anymore. Leveling up doesnt allow for different paths limiting further replays. Now i have to admit i have beaten the game several times over the years but i come back to it because of nostalgia and i dont know if i hadnt played in my childhood if i would like it so much.

Undoubted masterpiece

I played this game as a 3rd in row, after trying out earlier and very similar games, which are not here yet: they were made by Thalion software, Amberstar (PC only) and Ambermoon (Amiga only). Both great and classic adventure games, with great story, rpg elements and it's own soul. Albion was by many fans of previous creations, seen as spiritual descendant of Thalion's creation. Even though done by Blue Byte, it clearly has that spark which the unfinished Amber trilogy had. I am a huge fan of that trio and I still think that they are absolutely the best rpg you can find in the market. Highly doubt there will ever be such a game, than can rival them.
