No doubt, one of the best games ever
This is not just the best Star Wars game ever made. It's one of THE best games ever made. I don't doubt that almost every game on this website is given that praise by someone, but KOTOR actually DESERVES such an accolade. The story is utter brilliance, with possibly one of the greatest twists in video game history. Tons of stories like KOTOR's boil down to you saving the country/world/galaxy, but KOTOR is so good in its pacing and delivery that each step of the way towards that massive goal feels important and interesting, and by the time the epic finale arrives, the weight of the task given you carries the gravity and tension it warrants. Even the Light/Dark Side nature of the game's morality system actually has plenty of nuance in areas, with some quests that actually left me feeling morally conflicted, something very rare in games. On that note, the NPCs are similarly great. All of the eventual companions you meet in the course of your adventures have tons of personality, back story, and nuance. You grow to know and love each one of these characters as well as you would in any well-written novel. Even minor NPCs have great personalities of their own, and you can easily spend hours just listening to the individual quirks and stories that each one carries. And the quests are flat out cool. Who doesn't love to infiltrate secret assassination guilds or save Wookies from slavery? When I first sat down to play, I was worried it might be like other old cRPGs I've played: ones with good writing, but with gameplay that hasn't aged well at all. KOTOR, however, has gameplay as good as its writing. The best way I can describe its gameplay is it feels like what Planescape Torment tried to do, with a semi-turn-based/real-time combat and movement style, but ironed out all the flaws and annoyances. I quickly fell in love with this combat system, which is saying a lot, as I normally prefer FPSs and character-action games. BUY THIS GAME!!!
