This game is gold! It's a piece of history! It's a godlike game. No rpg fan should miss this game. It can't be compared to any RPG i've ever played, but i like to compare it to FF7 because this is essentially the Western Game Equivalent of FF7. In my mind both games are equally epic and share the first place among my favorite RPGs of all time. (2nd place goes to morrowind and 3rd place goes to Dark Souls, gives me a nice and even amount of Asian and Western games in my top 3. since my top 3 is essentially 4.)

The game has the most perfect, smooth turn based combat system i have ever experienced in a game. Truly masterful, and fun!

It has one of the most fun Character Creation systems in gaming since you can make up to 6 characters for a single playthrough.

It's soundtrack is perfect.

It's setting is perfect. A mix of sci-fi and dark medieval fantasy.

I almost jumped out of my chair when i saw it brought to steam, and didn't hesitate for 1 second to buy it again (also got 6 and 7 because i'd like to play this games predecessors)

For a personal rating lets see.

Overall 9.5/10 (All things considered. that's what i'd rate it as, very close to perfect)
-
Graphics (For it's time) 10/10 (Perfection)
-
Graphics (For now) 5/10 (still enjoyable to an extent)
-
Gameplay 10/10 (Obviously i think that, i can't describe it in brief either. It just is.)
-
Soundtrack 10/10 (It does everything a soundtrack is meant to do, and does so well.)
-
Voice Acting 9/10 (Very solid voice acting. And yes pretty much every npc is voiced)
-
Controls 8/10 (You can survive this game using only the mouse, except for dialog boxes where you need to type. You will get used to the controls very fast but that does not make them good, however you will not use most keyboard shortcut functions i suspect. only keyboard for movement and mouse for combat, but if you learn to use the keyboard shortcuts for combat it can be a great asset to speed up your fights)
-
World (Layout) 8/10 (It is very open and unexplored at first, but once explored once, it usually wont show you anything new except maybe a chest you didn't notice before or something like that. Also for an open world game, the maps in it are surprisingly linear, this is not bad however. It helps you know where you can go to continue)
-
Story 8/10 (I have not finished it yet because i just wasn't up for that difficult task. But from what i have seen, it's story is quite good, good enough to get you immersed in it. But it doesn't hold anything new that i hadn't seen before unless maybe the end which is unseen by me. I feel the 8 does it justice.)
-
Hardcoreness 10/10 (Think, Dark/Demon souls or Witcher as examples of hardcore modern rpgs. This game stays very true to being an RPG, It's got difficult fights and a learning curve. (For example mob spawns are mostly not levelled like in most modern games) It's very dark fantasy which in itself is a part of being hardcore. The game has every bit of hardcore Witcher or Dark souls offered me and much more.)
-
Fun 9/10 (I really love making characters and custom teams in the game (or any other), it's a huge part of my love for it. Then once in game i love progressing and leveling up, it feels like so much happens, but levelling gets very slow after a certain point at which you've still got ways to go to finish the game. The only thing that dropped the fun from 10 to 9 was that i've felt the need to grind for levels in the game occasionally. But this in itself is reasonably fun sincei ti s challenging)
-
Value 10+/10 (Yes i'm saying that this title i wouldn't have hesitated to buy for 30$ today. and in it's own time i didn't hesitate to buy it for like 50~ish. This game has as the trailer stated roughly 200+ hours worth of gameplay. You're not gonna miss your money, it tastes better than any hamburger, it gives you more fun than any movie ever could. Look at all the awards the game has!)

Conclusion: Masterpiece

If you like RPGs, buy this and play this without even thinking twice. Kudos to Night Dive Studios for bringing the best titles back from the dead!

Update: That's how the game is anyhow, but Night Dive's version of the game (this version) has a lot of terrible issues that make the game hard to run on Windows Vista and up, (I have a guide on how to work around it but sometimes people try everything in it and still can't get the game to run). Therefore I would recommend the GOG version over this one since it features the original unadultered version of the game and none of the issues that Night Dive introduced, and after years have still not bothered to fix.

One of the best games i ever played.
