The WhatsNext verdict

A superb choice for patient RPG players who want a huge, quest-dense world and thoughtful turn-based party combat. Its dated presentation and simplified remake systems are the price of entry, but the exploration and sheer breadth remain genuinely special.

What it does best

  • A vast underground world packed with places worth remembering

  • Curiosity reliably turns into quests, secrets, and treasure

  • Old-school RPG writing with unusual breadth and personality

  • Turn-based fights reward party planning and resourceful play

What might put you off

  • Dated interface and cumbersome inventory management

  • A streamlined remake that can feel less deep than earlier versions
