A monumental work, and one that, perhaps more than any other game, uses its medium to deliver a profound and emotionally overwhelming conclusion. Quite possibly the zenith of unity between hardware and narrative. A must play.

One of the best games in the series, even if being forced to replay the first half is a bafflingly dumb decision that greatly diminishes replay value.

It's one of the better ones but it's still just a Map Game.

I enjoyed it when it came out but this aged as well as those Bugs Bunny cartoons where fights the Japanese.

The peak of roguelike design.

A fine time-waster, but it still feels all too much like the derivative work it is.

Fun enough; I should replay it at some point!

The high-point of comedic writing in video games. Not just for the jokes themselves, but for maintaining a tone of charm and whimsy throughout that's all too rare in a medium that seems to struggle to find a balance between dour self-seriousness and self-effacing camp. The ever-expanding gameplay doesn't hurt, either. One of the very best games ever made.

Gorgeous.

A messy game which has not aged well at all.

The "DS" stands for Dumb and Stupid!

I get it!

People who think this is better than V are out of their minds.

A very large, messy world that gets more wrong than it gets right.

Royal is a marked improvement in basically every way, but damn is the base game still excellent.
