First off this is really a nostalgia pickup so I am not sure how it would entice people without the history. That said it is a very enjoyable platformer with a great soundtrakc. The puzzles seem fair, margins in the jumps are not razor thin but there is some challenge there.
as per the title about 10 hours in and having a great time. Enjoying the writing, retro look without the limitations that can be felt in a truely late 80's rpg. The Cthulhuesque narritive is refreshing, the levelling system is easy to understand while still giving flexiilbity.
If you like puzzles and RPG mechanics then this is highly recommended, played the original a little bit so it was great to see what could be done nowadys. even the battles are puzzly and feel slightly chess-like. Drawing from Celtic lore gives this one a unique feel and because it makes it feel thematically different it's easy to want to explore for all the new things you could see. One of my favorite games
Great fun game since 1999. plenty to explore. Resource/town management, battles and artifacts make this an excitingg game with many facets to explore.
