Venetica - Gold Edition is definitely showing its age. The combat is clunky, the graphics are super dated, and there are some bugs that can be frustrating. That said, there’s something kind of charming about it. The setting, with its fantasy take on Renaissance Venice, is unique, and the story has an interesting premise.

If you played it back in the day, it’s worth revisiting for the nostalgia alone. But if you’re new to it and used to modern RPGs, you might find it pretty rough around the edges.
