(Played on Snes)
Honestly pretty disappointing end to the original trilogy.
For the good the dungeon crawling is just as good as in 1 and 2 especially the variety of the enemies and honestly the first half of my experience with the game was amazing
Unfortunately the game just has a lot of annoying and weird design choices that make the later half a drag.
The game splits the dungeon into 2 half's that you can explore depending on your alignment which sounds cool but the alignment system in the game is terrible forcing you to grind encounters until your alignment randomly changes this can take either a couple of minutes or 20+ and your forced to go through both routes to beat the game
Another thing is you can easily loose key items either from trial and error trying to figure out how to beat the game or the game straight up trolling you (which is pretty funny tbf) this wouldn't be a problem but with the issues due to the alignment system it takes forever just to have the privilege of backtracking to reobtain the key items.
My least favourite part is the game lacks Any meaningful fights. There are no major bosses and the mini bosses that hold the key items are easier than random encounters. After the cool werdna fight and especially the KOD fights this was pretty disappointing especially when the game literally sets one up that you just don't fight
I still enjoyed my time with the game but the issues really did sour my opinion of this game.
