Endlessly fascinating as an early console RPG. I could break out the superlatives and discuss the games early roguelike elements, it's multiple progression options, or it's open-world nature, all of which are a bit on the simple side. The fact remains that this is an incredibly ambitious title that began tackling questions about how a console RPG could be designed in a meaningful way.

It is also shockingly playable, a feat I chalk up to it's speed and relatively sturdy design.
