This game opened my eyes to what immersion could be. While I struggled with the difficulty level, I really liked that I can do things my way and be rewarded for that. They don't make games like that anymore. 10/10 orc kicking experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just an excellent fantasy adventure game with immersive sim elements. Great sword combat and spell casting. This game should come to gog because it's good and old. One could say it's a Good Old Game.

I loved the world and the various adventures of Might and Magic ever since HoMM 2, but it wasn't until Dark Messiah that I felt I was really a part of the world. Technologically, the game was a huge upgrade from all other RPGs in the series, and the story was incredibly addicting. I just had to explore all endings. And those dual wield animations are still my favorite out of all games!

One of the first games I played every possible ending. Game over all is pretty simple but something about there being different endings depending on choices you made was so intriguing at the time. Now every game and it’s brother does it.

Absolutely loved this game. I dont think there was anything like this since or before. first person RPG with great focuse on enviroment interaction and physics use during the fight. Personally think that what prevented this from being one of the biggest game of its time was the limited marketing and at the time high demands for hardware. I am sadden with the state of Might and magic brad and how it fade away in Ubisoft hands.

Let's see: the story is bad and Arkane admits it. it does have nothing to do with the Might and Magic series. some of the skills are unbalanced. and it runs in a very old and crusty version of Valve's Source Engine that makes it difficult to run it on modern hardware. but this game has one of, if not, the best melee combat you will find in a First Person Game and the environments of the game reflect that. before Episode Two, this is was the game that actually delivered the promise of Valve of a "Physics Based Combat" with Source, that and and the powerful kick you have you will not gonna have a bad time with this game. I love it!

An excellent blend of intrigate dungeon design and dumb fun. It does have it's 2006 moment like a turret section and a worthless story, but when you start kicking people around and tricking enemies into all sort of trap, there's no going back. Just awesome.

It may have been buggy back in the day, but this is one of the few games that gave you many different options for dealing with any one problem. Tired of sword combat? Kick them off a cliff or into spikes. Don't want to be the Boot Lord? Use an ice spell to freeze the ground and cause your enemies to slide into the trap. The game is a playground for experimentation.

loved this game, got the cd but have trouble running it. awesome memories when i was a little younger, as a teenager was always team Xana though. haha, and the combat was challenging.

To me this was the original Skyrim. You could mix and match your fighting styles. And the gameplay and graphics were just great for the time. It’s also one of those games that just feels fun to still go back and play around in the world.
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox

Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008.
The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
Final Fantasy VIIIFinal Fantasy VIII is the eighth main installment in the Final Fantasy series. The gameplay makes a departure from many series standards. While it still uses the Active Time Battle system, it deviates from the series' traditional means of boosting a character's power via leveling, although levels are not completely abandoned as they were in Final Fantasy II. In addition, it does not have a Magic Point-based system for spell-casting. Instead, magic is collected, drawn, and created from items, and is used to power up the characters via the junction system.Open world Fantasy Science fiction
