I loved Ultima 4 as a kid, and decided to try the others more recently. Now I'm glad I didn't try them before. The game creator decided he was just too good in Ultima 4 and he would compensate by being anti-moral. Ultima 7 is filled from the beginning with propoganda, such as class struggle, feminism, and environmentalism, all in fantasy land. They might as well chop off Lord British's head in a Jacobin revolution.
A great game. Many different strategies that can be tried, so it doesn't get tedious or repetative. Too bad there aren't more good WWI games.
Interesting plot, though it can drag out, and Holmes is great character played well here. But even though it's a horror, it's unnecessarily gross. Quite tedious in many parts becuase it's hard to find many objects and some puzzles would take forever if you didn't have special knowledge, such as code breaking expertise. There are parts where you have to answer a question, but you can't check the notes and it doesn't have an autosave, so you have replay parts of the game. *Spoiler alert* It's always a big letdown when the hero tries to save the evil villain's life. And Holmes' dramatic end statement makes no sense.
