For the right price this game is definitely a gem that shines. The story hooks you from the start and even though the gameplay seems daunting at first {combat is incredibly difficult in the beginning if you don't focus your early skills in melee and dodge} the game compensates as it draws you into the world of Arcanum and its technology vs magick legend and cast of colorful characters, many of whom will fight by your side if you ask them. Arcanum is also a very lengthy game although near the end combat becomes tedious because you have already hit the level cap of 50. There are a few flaws in game mechanics like npcs getting stuck or broken quests but all in all its a very fun game with lots to do. Just remember to save often!
