I bit more grinding at the beginning than I like. Lots of interesting ways to customize and match up your characters. I like the non-linear exploration that starts after the first two and a half areas.

A throwback to the days of DOS gaming. Game is utterly amazing. The fact that a game that is now some 25 years old and is still thoroughly playable as an awesome and deep RPG says a lot. While it's unfortunate SirTech no longer exists, their legacy lives on here.

As someone who came from Baldur’s Gate 3. I can tell you Wizardry 8 is a beast of a game.
I remember playing this as a kid but now I understand the D&D-style influence. Stats matter, positioning matters, and mistakes hurt. It has deep character creation, full party control, turn based combat, and a world that doesn’t care if you live or die.
This is old-school RPG design at its purest. No hand holding, no quest markers, and NO MERCY. You’ll spend as much time reading guides and theorycrafting as you do actually playing.
It’s not easy to recommend to everyone, but if you’re into tactical RPGs and aren’t afraid to git truly gud, it’s a gem.
Just be ready to save scum, read forums, and occasionally ragequit.
