ESCmag has done a review of Arcanum - Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. Their rating is 7/10, and their last paragraph pretty well sums up their feelings:
As it stands, Arcanum is an exercise in frustration. There are so many moments when you know it can be a better game than it is, so many times when you're expecting it to break out and show you what it can really do, that you can't help being disappointed by the experience. But the both the studio and the system they've created show a lot of potential, and the few bright flashes of inspiration that Arcanum does demonstrate give some real hope for a strong follow-up effort from Troika Games.
Personally, I can't wait. |
