Did they really play the game? One comment made me wonder. While mentioning the characters that will guide you to another part of the colony, the reviewer had this to say:

"These characters display remarkably good pathfinding, but after trudging around after a few of these characters, you'll wonder why the developers didn't simply implement an in-game map, which would have made navigating the game's huge outdoor areas much easier."

Now, if he had even played the game as far as even trying to get the list from the guy in the mine, he would have been TOLD to get a map from the map dude...

A bit stupid, since Diego really forwards you to Graham the first time you talk to him...

Yeah, I agree... I wonder...

I also canīt help the impression the author didnīt really play the game.

"Frustrating action sequences". What is this and where are they?
"Fairly simple fighting system". LOL.
And he didnīt even find one of the maps???

Not to mention that Wizardry looks better than Gothic. 7.0 vs 8.0.

At least the reader rating is considerably higher. 8.1 out of 53 reviews.
