GCM has written a review of Arx Fatalis. A detailed one it is, and their rating is 8.0/10. Here's their final statement:
Arx Fatalis is a somewhat unique experience in a game. This isn't a first person shooter where you run around and kill things with glee. It's not really a tactical RPG game where you build up characters and fight hoards of monsters. It's more of a fantasy world simulation of sorts. You are thrown into a completely immersive fantasy world and must figure out how to get by in it and hopefully save it from a terrible fate. There are similar games, but most of them are from an age long past, such as the Ultima Underworld series. Perhaps a game like Morrowind would be similar to Arx, but Arx is more focused and tells a more involving story, while Morrowind concentrates on its grandness of scale and doing a little bit of everything.
If you're the kind of gamer that appreciates immersion into a game world over all other aspects, you should definitely look at Arx. RPG fans who concentrate on stats or hate real-time aspects will not appreciate it. Fans of the old Ultima Underworld series should definitely pick this title up and cherish it. Also fans of Morrowind may enjoy it once they get used to its lack of freedom compared to Morrowind's completely open-ended gameplay structure. Fans of 3D first person type games that have much more depth than a shooter are the primary audience here. | | Source: BluesNews |
