KQ8 was the only game in the series I've played so I totally understand the hate it gets from people who say it strayed from it's roots. But I absolutely loved it. I loved the atmosphere, the puzzles, the combat and light rpg elements and also the formula of figuring out a level and moving on to another area which will have a totally different feel. It's a formula that modern games seem to have forgotten about. You could tell they spent the most time on the first area because it's still awesome. The atmosphere and music are amazing and really puts you into the game as you explore the area. The puzzles are nice and fun too. All in all it was a very fun and addicting game with great atmosphere. This game is a template I wish modern games would follow.
