Excellent game in its own right and a worthy coda to the Eschalon series. The game itself, in terms of game play and game engine, utilizes most of the improvements of the second game and further polishes them. The story is great, but the game does not hold you by the hand in any way. You are actually going to have t use your head, remember what has happened so far and explore as much as possible to make it through. All of the what makes the previous games so special can be found in Book III, such as awesome character creation, tactical combat, an immersive world and a wonderful score. Though, the little annoyances from the previous games are also present, like that unshakable feeling that your character misses far too much, sudden death from unseen traps and back-tracking through expansive wilderness with nothing much in it. Book III also felt a little shorter than the previous games, but that might just be my imagination. Bottom line: If you enjoyed the first two games then you will enjoy BOOK III just as much.
