It's my dream game: the best parts of Ultima, Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura and Divinity: Original Sin. But it also does so much more than tap into the RPG Greatest Hits, finding a way to unite disparate philosophies like cinematic storytelling, unhinged sandbox mayhem and tabletop-style roleplaying. Yes, it says, you can have your cake and eat it too.

They mention Ultima. 😁 Yea, I am old.

The reviews are coming out now.

"the best parts of Ultima" At last someone serious.

I was laughing too when I read Ultima in the article. That game has really come back this week.
