So much potential, so much promise. A return to Britannia and the promise of the return of things like baking bread and a living environment like VII, but in 3D. And the chance to wrap up the Guardian and the series in an epic. Instead, it was this. This tiny world where you are on a rail doing the same set of things over and over and your Avatar seems to have suffered a head injury and remembers nothing. I've definitely played worse games, but nothing really compares to how disappointing this turned out to be.
Other games may do it prettier, but Ultima 7 stands still among the greats. It still feels like a world, with people living in it, which is something that games still struggle with today. The word for it is "wonderful."
