I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. I'm a big fan of immersive sims like deus ex and dishonored, but since I played all of them I eventually had to get to Arx despite not really being a fan of DND. The game is full of janky combat and awkward spellcasting, but playing it feels surprisingly immersive. Some enemies I had to cheese using broken spells or getting them caught on the environment (lol), but...
Love this game - one of the few games that brings you back again, and theres something about the underground city aesthetic.
