It gets lot of praise and the reviews are glowing past hyperbole, but I thought I would ask here before spending money. Has anybody here played it? If so, how was it? How does it compare to others in the genre?

Apparently its one of the best adventure games ever and has a 91/100 on metacritic. It's up there with baldurs gate and diablo, so I'm sure it's amazing. I got a mail about this too. I LOVE GOG!

it's good, but I didn't really think it's spetacular as people say. it promises a lot in the first hours but then it goes pretty cliche. I actually finished it after playing LOOM, and I thought the structure was too similar. it can also be compared to the crystals Final Fantasies, travelling through generic fantasy places to gather vital items.

the voice acting is really good though.

the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
