22 years after its release it's still the best city builder ever made, what to say ?! The game keeps on giving, mission after mission. Graphics are neat, clear, soundtrack is amazing. I often find myself whistling it hours, days after playing. The overall ambiance makes the game feel so smooth. Mechanics are deep enough not to feel repetitive. This game will grab you and make hours feel like minutes.
DAO is one of the very best RPG I've ever played. The game feels great, sounds great and looks great even 10 years after its release. The story is captivating, the real-time (with pause) combat system feels nice and handles well. It's easy to give orders to your party. Voice over is solid and camera angles during dialogues are well thought and add lots to the immersion. Menu-ing is quick, load/save are near instant. So good to have an game UI that doesn't react like a cargo boat. Overall an amazing experience that puts to shame a lot of modern games. I should add that it plays perfectly on Linux with Lutris.
