Rotghroth Rhapsody The Lurker Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Bad : The gameplay could be a bit more balanced at times, some puzzles are a bit too hard in my opinion, one of the areas becomes 'unclearable' if you destroy a power spiral, there are still a few bugs/things that were not implemented/things that are not completely logical. Good : Pretty much everything else. 9.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Inthrall Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Well, I always hated the funny walking glitches (I got stuck walking in space once, and my character got dislocated off its circle thing). And the combat just got repetitive near the end. Apart from that, good! 8.0000425 (8sf) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt JadeWolf Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 8.5. A good game, but I didn't really enjoy it as much as GF2. Dunno why, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Extremely creative, mildly glitchy, wonderful atmosphere, interesting though not quite balanced gameplay, pretty good story. 9.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Different. Completely different from anything Jeff had done before. There was a huge sense of discovery and exploration that the original Exile series had, which I loved. Combat was new but got repetitive; playing as all three classes was fun. 8.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 As the original, it gets rated higher than the sequels just because it is different from everything that came before it and is very inventive as well. It has fewer features than the later games, but I actually prefer fewer features (to a point). The option to use the Geneforge is a huge advantage over the other games. It was fun and I'm still trying new strategies. I'm still trying to figure out what Jeff was planning for that nest in Pentil Woods, though. Overall, Dikiyoba gives it a respectable 8.5.

Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 It introduced a totally new system that I loved at first and got bored of towards the end. (On the other hand, it was at LEAST as good as a FF-game in this respect.) The plot wasn't half-shabby at that point since we had only seen it once. I'm tempted to knock it down a bit because of how unbearably crappy its sequels would become, but I won't. 8.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
