So far this is the best game of 2013, and I'm almost sure it will stay that way. It has everything that a great RPG should down to a T. The story is very much the classic "save the world from returning Dark Lord" but it's very well told, full of interesting twists and moments both poignant and humorous in good proportion. The characters are also a uniqe bunch, likeable andwell written. The music is very good, not "buy the soundtrack NOW" good, but fits the game an enchances the experience perfectly. The same goes for the graphics, simplistic but fitting the old school nature of the game. You may at first feel they're to primitive, especially if You play a lot of new, good looking games, but after an hour or so You'll find yourself lost in the charm of Driftmoon. The world is full of object You can interact with, secrets to discover, and clever but not too hard environmental puzzles, that never brake the pace of the game.
There are only two downsides in my opinion- there are too few skills to choose from when leveling up, and the game is too short, as it took me about 15 hours, if memory serves. Still, those were the most fun 15 hours of playing any game I had in a long time.
