Arkane Studios' RPG receives a rating of 8/10. Their final words: What else? The use of inventory items is inconsistent, the journal always reopens on the first page (not the most recent one you looked at), you can't annotate the map or journal, your character's voice is so subdued that you sometimes miss key information that then won't be recorded in your journal, you often have no idea where to go (no one will help you, either), and time apparently passes but there's no way to monitor it. These things--and a few others--will get on your nerves more than once. And yet, from the daunting puzzles to the combat to a game design that lets you brew your own potions and bake a very tasty apple pie, what you're left with at the end of Arx Fatalis is a sense of great satisfaction. This is a game that soundly triumphs over its shortcomings to deliver hours and hours of enjoyment.
