Here's how they sum up their review: If you want a highly-evolved and highly-involved RPG, then Arcanum is the clear choice. You can easily lose yourself in the game world, but you have to put a lot into it to get a lot out of it. Sadly, this complexity that will endear the game to RPG lovers will likely turn away the more casual players. As an RPG lover, I would like to give kudos to Troika and Sierra for designing a game and publishing a game that truly is designed for a select group of people. Too often budgets are such these days that all games are aimed at the "mainstream" population, and end up watered down versions of their original ideas. Arcanum pulls no punches. It's a RPG that will challenge even expert RPGers. For that and for providing a lovely reality-forgetting experience, I award Arcanum 4 1/2 GiN Gems for their treasure chest with just a slight deduction for a few gameplay flaws.
