It took me a long time to warm up to The Bard's Tale. The first person perspective didn't age the best, especially for those that grew with top-view perspective in their RPGs. The fun of the game is really on creating your characters and exploring the town without guides, just for the sake of it. It also gets much much better when you start getting good spells. The spells in this game are insane and it's actually fun to explore the game with tons of buffs from your spell caster characters (there are 6 spell casting classes in total if the Bard is included). The remastered version is superb while maintaining what made the original so engaging.
