This would probably be in my top 5 favorite games of all time if it weren't for the freaking combat... This isn't news to anyone, we all know it's bad. And I bought the game for $15 so people who harp on it for being cost inefficient may be on to something but that money pays for quality. This game is one of the best looking games I've ever seen. The atmosphere is some of the best ever and the puzzles are original and inventive. This brings me back to playing Myst with my dad on our old PC. Myst always showed you just enough of the world to set your mind reeling, always wanting to see more. Scorn does all that and then some. I'm so thankful for this game.
