Exploration feels meaningful, the world is full of secrets. They really don't make games like this anymore.

I get so in aw of old video games. I'm not joking. You deserve to play this game and at the same time this game deserves your time (and maybe a quick youtube search when your stuck once in awhile). One of the most interesting rpg sandboxes ive ever played. Made in 2002. How we dont have more like this ill never understand. 9.5/10. One of the greatest first person rpgs of all time. Playing this 23 years late feels like a crime.

An absolute must-play if you like dungeon crawlers or immersive sims. Make sure to get the Libertatis mod, because otherwise spellcasting just don't work.

A rare gem. I wish there were more like it. My play time looks low...because I've finished it a couple times before everything was on steam.

Nearly 20 years ago, I first discovered this game when my dad was playing it on the computer. My brother and I would watch in awe, and we got to play for a little while too, even though we were too young for a game like this… you know what I mean! 😉 Years later, I got my own PC, and guess what? I quickly grabbed the Arx Fatalis disc and dove into the captivating world of Arx. Even today, 22 years after its release, I still rave about the game’s unique features. Simple activities like baking bread and roasting meat are implemented in a way that feels genuinely rewarding, something that many modern games struggle to replicate. The magic system, where you draw symbols on the screen with your hand to cast spells, adds a level of interactivity that feels timeless and incredibly engaging. There’s a wide variety of spells that can be creatively combined. The world of Arx is filled with secrets and hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered. The quests are not only well-structured but often humorous and surprising. Interacting with NPCs feels vibrant, and the conversations often reveal deeper lore about the world. While the story may be straightforward, it’s coherent and well-crafted. I replayed the game about two years ago, and each run unveiled new amusing details. For instance, dropping cheese might attract mice… just delightful! I also appreciate the flexibility to experiment with different playstyles. Whether you choose to be a fierce warrior, a cunning thief, or a powerful mage, each choice affects the gameplay and how characters react to you. The blend of RPG elements and an open world ensures that every play session feels unique. I wholeheartedly recommend this game to everyone! Aside from the graphics, it remains timeless and has aged remarkably well. The attention to detail and creative mechanics make “Arx Fatalis” a true classic. I still hold out hope for a sequel to this wonderful game!
