This is one of the greatest point and click games I have ever played. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Worthy of inclusion in the hall of fame along with the greats from LucasArts, Westwood, and Sierra. Well worth the price of admission. If you insist on waiting for a sale, I get it. 2020 has kicked all of our collective butts. However, denying yourself this gaming experience would be a sin. Buy it, play it, make yourself happier and by extension make the world a better place.
This game is railroad nirvana. The absolute pinnacle of tycoon games. If you have ever owned, ridden or even seen a train, you need this game. If Firaxis ever get around to updating this series again I will explode with joy. Be sure to check out their other games too, these folks consistantly pump out amazing work!
This game is a delightful time sink. So much is on offer here; but not in a way that overwhelms the player. I've only been playing is for a day and I am already in love with it. It's more entertaining than many triple A games out there, and for a fraction of the price. There is no valid excuse to not play this game.
This game is Lucas Arts at their peak. It made me love the word "Lagomorph." A comic adventure, with musical numbers, that is entertaining all the way through. If you have ever enjoyed point and click adventures, you owe it to your self to play this one. And after you fall in love with these characters, GOG has the Telltale Games series too. Steve Purcell, et al, be praised!!
This game established some of the basics of all things Ultima. The system of virtues, running characters such as Shamino and Iolo, and the greater map of Britannia. Most importantly it established the origin point for the running player character known as the Avatar. From this point in the series forward you embody virtue. You the player, not the little guy/gal on screen. It's very meta and 4th wall breaking. This is a grand old adventure where you will travel, meet people, kill monsters, explore dungeons, and save the soul of a nation. The only draw back here is that father time has taken a bat to the whole affair. Ultima 4 has not aged well. But if you can endure the digital bends this game is well worth your time. There was a classic NES release of this game. So if the bends you get from the PC version are too painful seek out that port. Ugly by modern standards but still a classic.
I bought this game through Steam years ago. It blends the gameplay of Nintendo's 'Pikmin' games with the style and atmosphere of Bullfrog's 'Dungeon Keeper' series. It's a grand combination. I can't recommend it highly enough. Just one caveat, it's best played with a gamepad.
