Betrayal at Krondor: 8/10 points |
Classic game with a good chapter-based story and plenty of fun exploration. |
Deus Ex: 9/10 points |
Almost perfect blend of action, adventure and RPG elements. Forces player to make real choices which impact the story. Can be played as more of a sneaker than an action game. I can't wait for Deus Ex 2. |
Dungeon Master: 10/10 points |
Maybe the best Ultima. Non-linear and with great depth and story. Britannia really seemed alive... The only flaw IMO is the chaotic combat, but that's not enough to bring the score down. |
Fallout - A Post Nuclear Adventure: 10/10 points |
Great game with an original setting (for a computer game, anyhow). For me, though, the excitement wore off after a while as I found the story a bit weak. Still, it's a classic and a milestone in CRPG design. |
Gothic: 9/10 points |
Nice setting and story, open-ended, smart NPCs, beautiful landscapes... great game. Story gets too linear after a while, though. Interface takes a while to get used to, but actually works fine. |
Planescape: Torment: 10/10 points |
The macabre, yet beautiful, fantasy setting and brilliant storytelling makes this one of my favorite games ever. Amazing! You have to enjoy reading to enjoy this game, though. |
Quest for Glory 1 - So You Want to be a Hero?: 9/10 points |
Fun adventure/RPG hybrid from Sierra. You play as a thief, fighter or magic user, and there are multiple solutions to most problems. The series as a whole is also great fun. |
System Shock: 10/10 points |
Classic 1st person sci-fi/horror game. One of the best games ever made. Make sure you play the CD version with full voices (SHODANs voice is incredible)! Sort of an RPG in disguise... |
Thief - The Dark Project: 10/10 points |
Brilliantly designed 3D sneaker. Too many labyrinth-like levels, but otherwise perfect. Not an RPG, though. |
Thief 2 - The Metal Age: 9/10 points |
Almost as great as the original, although not quite as scary. |
Ultima 7 - Serpent Isle (Sequel): 9/10 points |
Incredibly rich story, but a bit too linear for my tastes. The last truly great Ultima. |
Ultima 8 - Pagan: 8/10 points |
Disappointing as an Ultima, but still a good game with a good plot and interesting magic system. Somewhat underrated. Make sure you get the patch, it really changes the gameplay for the better (makes the annoying jumping puzzles easier). |
Ultima Underworld 1 - The Stygian Abyss: 10/10 points |
A true classic. 'Nuff said. |
Ultima Underworld 2 - Labyrinth of Worlds: 10/10 points |
My favorite game. Gets everything right. |
