The first official AD&D computer role-playing game and an absolute classic. One of the best tactical turn-based combat systems, a fun open-world to explore, and just a great straightforward adventure. Beware of the archaic rules of 1st edition however. The controls as well can get a bit of taking used to, but it's still a solid D&D adventure. *Author's note: this review is a bit lacking compared to the rest of my reviews. I plan on rewriting it in the future to bring it up to my current quality standards.*
The second game in the Forgotten Realms Gold Box SSI series. Containing a new and more intriguing story, some quality of life improvements, and more variety in encounter design. At the cost however, to a rather limited and unimpressive open-world with many repeated same looking locations.
A sucessful fusion of Adventure game and Role-Playing game genres leads to an iconic series among Sierra's list of games. Well written and memorable characters that can also be humorous without becoming a parody. As well as some great puzzles that have many different solutions depending on your character build. The combat system is a bit rough, but the game is a worthwhile and memorable experience.
An excellent sequel to an already iconic original. Taking place in a new region with new characters, improved graphics and sound, and improved combat. The beginning of the game can be rough however prior to aquiring the in-game map, however it is well worth it as the rest of the game is an amazing experience.
A decent entry in the Forgotten Realms Gold Box SSI series. There are some nice quality of life features like a bank to store items and mouse control in the menus, however the game has had some sacrifices that make this a much weaker game than the previous entries.
An epic RPG based on the novels written by Raymond E. Feist. Fantastic story and characters, a huge open world full of colorful characters, towns, and side quests. While also having a unique progression system and satisfying combat. The only problem however, is moving around the environment can be tricky especially if your looking for something particular like an NPC or a chest.
A fantastic CRPG that helped revitalize the genre. A unique progression system that inspired many RPG systems still to this day. Fallout contains a great story with quality art direction, music, and atmosphere. It cuts the fat and padding that most RPGs consist of and manages to deliver a concise and quality experience that stands tall with the best of the genre.
One of the finest and most influential RPGs ever made. Baldur's Gate takes you across the Sword Coast with beautifully pre-rendered 3d environments, a fun and innovative real-time with pause combat system, and an excelent story with a mystery that unfolds throughout the game. The open world does consist of a lot of walking through forests until you come across something interesting which can be a bit of a drag and the real-time with pause system may not be everyone's favorite, but the pros greatly outweigh the cons in my opinion.
