Tenderfoot Thahd maelstromking Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hey guys, I have been enjoying Avadon quite a bit, it's just sort of relaxing after I play a bunch of competitive league games with my friends. What other games do you guys recommend? As far as Spiderweb goes I've seen sort of mixed opinions of Avadon. I will probably finish out Avadon first, but I was just curious as to what I may want to look into next. I appreciate any responses in advance!

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Well, Avernum: Escape from the Pit is the next obvious choice, as the both the newest Spiderweb offering and a remake of the first in the Avernum series. But the beauty of Spiderweb is huge, free demos. So download a few games and see what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd maelstromking Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Avernum would be easy to get into as I've seen it pretty regularly on steam, would have been my most likely choice unadvised. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Which doesn't mean that the Geneforge games are not worthwhile - depending on your play style you might greatly prefer them. Many players do. They are not quite as advanced as Avadon, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody The Reverend Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I haven't met a Spiderweb game that I didn't like. In addition to the ones already mentioned, a lot of people (myself included) really liked Nethergate, and its remake Nethergate: Resurrection.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Avernum would be easy to get into as I've seen it pretty regularly on steam, would have been my most likely choice unadvised. Thanks! Don't forget that you can also get the Geneforge games and the latter Avernum Trilogy (Avernums 4-6) on Steam too. And for cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I will echo what others have said: try the demos! One of the great things about Spiderweb is the hefty demos available for all the games. At least in the case of every full game I've acquired, the demos are quite reliable in giving you a strong sense of the gameplay / mechanics / atmosphere / flavor of each game. If you like the demo, there's a very strong chance you'll like the full game; if the demo seems iffy to you, there's a decent chance you won't like playing through the rest of the game. So try out some demos. In terms of my personal favorites, I think the best of Spiderweb's inventory is Nethergate: Resurrection. Other highlights are Avernum: Escape From The Pit, Avernum 6, and Geneforge 1 and 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
