Arx Fatalis

Contender for my favorite game of all time tied with BG3 and Kotor 1 i bought it for my little brother and he beat the game (he's 11) crazy that he was able to appreciate such a Classic gem

come on Nightdive studios remake :)

Captures the wonder of exploration and the feeling that there might be danger around every corner in a way modern RPGs I've played don't quite manage. I was born is 2002 so this game holds no sort of nostalgia for me, and whilst the controls don't handle exactly like we might expect nowadays, it's really not anywhere so janky as others seem to make it sound. I loved the sound design, the unusual soundtrack, the immersive magic mechanics, and the charming characters of this world. Not at all hand-holdy, but I know that's what many of us prefer. Highly recommend!

There are old game and there are outdated games. Deus Ex, FF7, MGS 1, Fallout 1 and 2, these are old, but they still work, they feel intuitive and they can still feel fresh even in modern times (if you ignore the polygon count). This game on the other hand, ♥♥♥♥ is outdated as ♥♥♥♥. Magick system is pure ass, casting it in combat is impossible, spells also like to drain your mana AFTER the initial cast, so like wall of flame needs x amount to cast and eats up rest of your mana to keep going. This kills any strategy with magic cause casting more than 2 spells just drains you dry in seconds. There is also this insane difficulty spike at a certain point where enemies wear armour with 38 defence apiece, up to that point best chestplate i found had 10. Only compliment this game gets is for sounds, ambience is amazing and even depending on what you wear you make different sounds. Update, AND YOU CAN SOFTLOCK THE GAME BECAUSE YOU DIDNT PICK UP A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ITEM FROM A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CULTIST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME THAT YOU NEED AT THE VERY END TO ACCESS FINAL BOSS!!!

Joguei pela primeira vez agora em 2026 graças ao Alanzoka, é um jogo muito bom, uma mecânica muito interessante tanto de magias quanto de manuseio de itens, a exploração é muito interessante (apesar de ser meio lenta, mas o jogo é antigo e acho que é pedir demais). Fora isso, MUITO BOM!

Довольно таки хорошая рпгшка. Конечно многим может не зайти из за того что толком нету подсказок, и то, что можно заруинить игру, если полезть дальше сюжета. Понравилась фишка с заклинаниями, где ты сам их должен чертить. В добавку у игры очень хорошая атмосфера. Ну и мне не совсем понравилось играть за воина. Вроде прокачлся хорошо, но тебя фигачат быстро, а некоторые враги впитывают в себя урон как губки. Моя оценка 8 из 10

Don't let silly animations and asinine writing fool you into a mistake of rushing this unofficial [i]Ultima Underworld 3[/i] like I did. This game is magical, you just need to let its cave mold seep in through the screen, hear the wind groan in the megavents and feel the weight of rock over your head. Also, it has a priest going by the name of Fallan Orbiplanax, which would assuredly be my nom de guerre had I aspired to brave the Parnassus of the Czech movie industry.

There's arguably a LOT to love here and more than a few thing to dislike, but if there is one thing to remember this game for or even to try it out for the first time, its that Arx Fatalis irrefutably has one of the most interesting magic systems in all of gaming.
