Great alone and even better with friends. This classic game gives any RPG lovers a fantastic time-waster and a good run for their money. Scratches that skills and character building itch really well. Plus, the loot system is highly enjoyable with its instances of many varied farming bosses and locations. With its many skills and spells to use when fighting at high levels, it definitely take some skill to be more familiar with the many casting options. That said, gameplay is not really that difficult until you reach New Game+ and above.

~ DIFFICULTY ~

🔲 My 90 year old grandma could play it
🔲 Easy
✅ Normal (Manageable on Veteran difficulty with few deaths, gets more challenging when you progress pass New Game+)
🔲 Hard
🔲 Dark Souls

~ GRAPHICS ~

🔲 MS Paint
🔲 Bad
🔲 Meh
🔲 Graphics don't matter in this game
🔲 Good
✅ Beautiful
🔲 Masterpiece

~ MUSIC ~

🔲 Bad
🔲 Not special
🔲 Good
✅ Beautiful (The lush and colourful landscape and amazing ambient music really adds to the story-building and immersiveness of the whole RPG experience.)

~ STORY ~

🔲 This game has no story
🔲 Like playing Temple Runners for the story
✅ It's there for the people who want it (You are here to kill stuff and loot even more stuff, but the story keeps you entertained every now and then, with goals along the way to give you a sense of progression)
🔲 Well written
🔲 Epic story
🔲 Imagine Kingdom Hearts but on crack

~ PRICE ~

🔲 Free
🔲 Underpriced
✅ Perfect Price (Having been out for a while, it has dropped in price but it's very worth the money for such a great game for its era)
🔲 Could be cheaper
🔲 Overpriced
🔲 Complete waste of money

~ REQUIREMENTS ~

✅ You can run it on a microwave (Came out almost 8 years ago, c'mon)
🔲 Average
🔲 High end
🔲 NASA computer

~ FUN ~

🔲 I'd rather watch paint dry
🔲 Hard to enjoy
🔲 Repetitive
✅ Actually pretty amusing (It really hits the spot for fans of RPGs. Looting and skills customisations are fantastic!)
🔲 The kind of fun you'll remember
🔲 Ride of your life

~ REPLAYABILITY ~

🔲 It's a one-time experience
🔲 Only for achievements
🔲 If you wait a few months/years
🔲 Definitely
✅ Infinitely replayable (With its array of character builds and weapon loot options, you'll have fun replaying over and over again)

~ Bugs ~
🔲 Never heard of
✅ Minor bugs
🔲 Can get annoying
🔲 ARK: Survival Evolved
🔲 The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs

~ WORTH BUYING ~

🔲 No
🔲 Wait for sale
✅ Yes

Last notes: One quip I have for this game is the inability to have a feature to respec BOTH your stats and skill points, but this can be done with mods (Ultimate Respec and Full Respec). However, using mods mean that your character that are played vanilla cannot share loot with modded characters, which is a great shame in my opinion.

Other than that, it is almost a perfect game!
