Fantastic game, with a few minor flaws.

This is a terrific game, absolutely worth playing even now after 20 years. At lest if you install the Arx Libertatis mod, haven't tried the game without it. The only thing I didn't like about the game was the fight with the demon and the final boss, but they can be defeated by just levitating above them and hitting them with your sword. The key system was also a hassle, but that can be fixed with a key-ring mod or dropping the key in front of it's keyhole after use.

A masterpiece MURDERED by its flaws

Arx Fatalis has always been a game that I wanted to play when I was younger, but never could due to lack of a decent PC. Now, after all these years... I liked it a lot ( almost loved it), buuuut what does it for me is its atrocious technical realization. No, seriously. It's a game that truly doesn't hold your hand, that have a nice and no-so simple story ( if you dig deeper than your primary mission) , that have one of the most complex magic system I have ever seen ( although is not perfect, but I guess that's the point).. all things that I love.. but it doesn't matter: it's still a mess, a beautiful one, mind you, but still a mess. Gameplay wise, it's an old first person RPG style of gameplay, which is something that I personally love, and combat is not what defines this game: exploration is. And also remembering everything useful. Basically, even the logbook, while useful, is completely a mess in keeping track of the quests.. and I guess that's the point. The game, again, doesn't try or want to hold your hand, every single thing you achieve comes from your own intellect ( or from internet ;)). But unfortunately other aspects are.. well combat is bare bones ( at least, for melee) while the magic system is something unique... but good luck casting a spell in combat ( yes, you can prepare three of them, but it is not enough in later levels). What truly have caught my attention was the story and settings: unique, quirky and serious. But it's like they ran out of time while developing it ( I mean, I hope that is the case.. the story is fantastic but too little? too much focus in few but good side.stories, and even then they don't receive the time needed for developing correctly.. plus the voice-acting is terrible). I mean, this game came out AFTER Morrowind.. and it looks like ages behind it. So, after all my ranting, Do I recommend it? incredibly, YES. It's a mess, but a beautiful one. Although this game is for a very tight niche kind of gamers.

Great old game with a community patch

Nice old game, though it's pretty important that you get the Arx Libertatis community patch. Else you'll hate doing magic because of weird detection issues.

A Flawed Gem.

Arx Fatalis has lots going for it. The RPG elements are great. Might, magic, and stealth are all potent options. The world is pretty well crafted. The fighting is fun. However, Arx Fatalis falls short of true greatness. The magical system is innovative and cool but a little clumsy. Voice acting is uneven and the story is good but only just. It's not open ended. However, for the price it's a steal. Old-school RPGs don't come along often these days so if you need a fix, Arx Fatalis is a great addition to your collection.

Diamond in the Rough

The game is good and has a lot of good sides but the problem is this is riddled with bugs. Three in particular stand out: Random crashes unless compatibility mode is run which disables widescreen resolutions, long loading times with no fix and textures disappearing on load making me have to try again. Can't grade the game down too much because of it because it is amazing when it works but buyer beware.
