Old School With Quality of Life
I have all the original Ultima games because of the stories and characters but they are almost impossible to play nowadays thanks to the U.I being incredibly cryptic so it needs a manual open on your lap. This game combines the charm of really excellent pixel art, the massive scale of a classic Ultima style game, and the sheer amount of stuff and options you can have when your graphics aren't all 3D photorealistic drains on processing power and the time of developers...BUT importantly, it doesn't shy away from quality of life improvements modern gamers have come to expect. There's a tutorial! You can use common hot keys and a mouse. There's a button to make clear what you can interact with. There's drop down menus and descriptions if you hover over skills and objects. This is how you do an homage. There was another game that tried for the FULL experience with none of the niceties of the modern age, but this game gets it that you can have the feel of the classics without making things as clunky as earlier games were out of necessity. The original developers of classic games probably would have been pleased to have sleeker interfaces and easier to parse numbers and actions. Sometimes you can bear reverence to the past without being stuck inside of it. Now it would be awesome if they remade something like the Dark Sun games with this kind of interface...
