There's a new review of Arcanum - Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura at Around CNY. With a final score of 7.75/10, it is rated as "good". Here are their closing paragraphs:
My final gripe would be that the game’s relatively limited graphics still seemed to require substantial system power and I occasionally saw slowdowns on my custom 1.4 ghz power-gaming PC.
On the plus side, the game was addictive to play, the quests were clever and interesting, and it was basically enjoyable. If you like Role-playing games, Arcanum is a good choice. The graphics were uninspired but adequate, the sound was fine and the difficulty level was reasonable. I found Arcanum to be inventive and plenty of fun. Developed by Troika Games, the same team that created the original Fallout, Arcanum earned a score of 7.75 out of 10. |
