    "Arx Fatalis" doesn't get the attention it deserves.
    Created by the same developers - Arkane Studios - who
    later VCITJwent on to make "Dishonored" and "Prey", this
    is an early attempt at their trademark sandboxed
    gameplay. It's also very much a love letter to the
    classic "Ultima Underworld" series. M9DT3And sure, it
    looks a bit rough around the edges these days, what
    with it being twenty-plus years old, but in terms
    of its mechanics it's every bit as solid30PP2 as the
    games that came out later. If you love Arkane's
    style of game - and get past the somewhat dated
    visuals - you'll probably love this game too. As
    you should; it's a classic.

    I already own this one. Let's see if a regular gets it before a lurker does......

    The year 2002 does not sound that long ago when you first hear it.

    But then you do the math.. and, well, like you said.. Wow.

    Very cool indeed. I would have taken it if I did not already own it.
    For whoever takes it this one.. google Arx Fatalis Libertatis.
