This is a difficult review for me to write, as I grew up playing this game and had a strong sense of nostalgia for it. However, as I replayed it in full recently, I saw how unremarkable this game really is.

One of the things I noticed is how much this game resembles an MMORPG in everything but the multiplayer aspect, which makes sense because that's what this game was meant to be before it was reworked into a single player RPG. You have lots and lots of loot and gear sets with randomized drops, which is pretty unnecessary for this type of game. There is an excessive amount of quests, lots of them your standard fetch quests, and that also means that there is a staggering amount of voiced dialogue that you must skip at risk of losing your mind. Even the way the map is arranged and how enemies become invincible when they go outside their spawn zone points to this MMORPG past.

Couple all of this MMO stuff with combat that is flashy but repetitive and simple, a lack of or very simplified (good/evil) choices you can make in the story, entire skills and game mechanics that you may never touch because they're useless and you're overpowered anyways, and lots of jank...

At the end of the day, the biggest flaw of this game is a pretty simple one: it's just not fun.
