Troika have really outdone themselves, producing a game that is by far the best computerised roleplaying experience I've ever seen. Some minor hiccups detract slightly from the overall enjoyment, sure, but most of these seem to stem from the difficulties of adapting a third party game engine, than any lack of expertise on their behalf. They fall short of their goal of creating "the most immersive and interactive gaming environment to date", but only just, and this one may yet prove to be the rpg of the year.
