Yes!
This is my favorite game ever, period. Music, art, story, immersion, mix of sci-fi and fantasy… I come back to this beauty each year.
This is one of those childhood experiences that made me become a professional video game narrative designer. Absolute personal top 3, together with “Master of Orion 2” and “System Shock 2”.
And since it is pretty long, you really don’t have to play the whole thing to see the beauty – 1/3 or 1/4th part would be enough, just the first island. Though I doubt anyone would want to stop playing this gem anyway. 🙂
