Avernum 6 Reviews

Based on the latest pair of reviews, it appears that Spiderweb Software’s final installment to the Avernum series is getting some pretty good reception.

About This Particular Macintosh hits it with a “Very Nice” verdict, despite not liking RPGs:

Although I found myself spending a few nights staying up late wandering Avernum and trying to complete some tasks, I still do not like the game genre itself. It is too much work and not relaxing. However, I am sure any fan of RPGs will like Avernum. It is a vast world with many characters to interact with, whether to engage in battle or to get help.

And Jay Is Games maintains their no-score commitment (thanks, RPGWatch):

While more action oriented gamers may find Avernum’s slow pace and clicky combat frustrating, if a story is what you want, Avernum 6 delivers in spades with a satisfyingly epic end to the series. The main story is quite long, and tracking down every side-quest and hidden item in the game will take you even longer. Despite its flaws, it offers a whole lot of gameplay and a story of grand fantasy that neatly caps off a ten-year long legacy of classic RPG.
