This game was really well executed. I had a lot of fun during my playthrough. There was enough variety for it to not get old super fast. Had enough of a challenge to not be boring. Good story, fun mechanics. Definitely buy it and play it if it's on sale
I think it was after this game that Bioware started having some issues. This game sits in the top 5 of my list of all-time favorites, easily. Bioware was a gold making machine back in these days. I couldn't get enough of it, and I'm just sad that we never got something that quite matched this in the Dragon Age universe. The story was deep. The characters were memorable. The gameplay was incredible. The skill trees were great. Really, honestly, a 10/10. The best in the series and one of my favorite pieces of video game history. I've played and replayed this game, and I absolute adore it still. <3
Was it the first? No. Doom was probably the first there Was it the most innovative? Probably not. Quake probably has it beat there Did it stand out? Hell yeah This is the best arena shooter of all time. Don't @ me. Yeah there was Doom and Wolfenstein and Quake and Halo and Golden Eye and blah blah blah. This is the pinnacle of the category. Every game before built up to UT 2004, and every game since has been trying to match it. Brutal, fast paced, non-stop, adrenaline pumping action GODLIKE
This game was an eye opener for me. What an introduction to an amazing world. Yeah it was a bit buggy. Yeah it ran poorly, but my, my, my did it make up for it with everything else. Obviously this has spawned a universe that I don't think anyone could quite imagine at the time. CDPR really struck gold with this. As with most older games, if you choose to play it, just know what you're getting into. It's not going to look that great; it'll probably have some weird bugs; It'll probably feel slightly clunky, but if you can get past that, you'll be in for a real treat. Buckle in and experience the game that launched one of the greatest RPG series of all time.
This is peak Bioware. You remember peak Bioware, right? Back when they made the most amazing games imaginable. The games that transported you to a new place and a new time and introduced characters and enemies and settings that you're still thinking about 10+ years later? Where did peak Bioware go? Please bring them back, k? Anyway, I loved this game. It filled the hole that KOTOR left pretty nicely for the time. It was an interesting game with interesting lore, fun enemies, and fun companions. The port isn't as good as the original Xbox release was, but I still love this game. The mini games were kinda fun, and I played through it with different moralities multiple times. Basically: If you love KOTOR, you'll love this.
