Geneforge was my introduction to Spiderweb Software, and the series is one of my all time favorites. I was skeptical of a remake, but so far it's 100% an improvement on the original - your creations now have abilities that add to battle strategy, the difficulty is much better balanced, and there's entirely new areas and quests! Highly recommended if old school RPGs are your thing.

Good old-school fun. I will say, if you're anything like me and can't play a game unless you crank it to the highest difficulty... The balance is waaay off. Level 9 enemies with poison spray and haste are more powerful than level 15 enemies without poison/acid by a longshot. One of those can beat my level 22 summon without even blinking. So I found that a little frustrating. But it is what it is.

Just a really nice old-school CRPG. But take note, it really is quite old-school, so if that's not your thing, probably best avoid. But if it is, this ticks basically every box. Interesting and original setting, unusual magic/summoning system and (so far at least) a quite intriguing story. If you are old like me, or appreciate older games, particularly CRPGs, this is worth your time and money.

You wont like this game if you dislike difficulty even on Casual (old games were made different?), reading (and a lot of it), potentially having to take notes & figuring things out for yourself (cause the wiki cant save you) But its good and it fixes so much of the original's issues - mainly being out of date and QoL updates, some nice new visuals but still good! And theres a brand new area & group just for the remake!

I played all of the Avernum trilogy and really enjoyed them for their unusual fantasy world (no elves, dwarves, and orcs here!) and great sense of exploration. Geneforge has an even stranger fantasy world that feels just as exciting and mysterious to explore. The atmosphere is mysterious! The game systems and interface are very streamlined compared to other games by the same dev. The systems for summoning monsters and casting spells are intuitive. This game isn't too hard, so you aren't punished for spending your skill points in experimental ways. The pacing of this game is good. The areas are small but full of interesting stuff. The NPCs have some interesting dialogue, but you don't have to click through hundreds of words.
