Oh, Avernum, why must you have gone out of your way to be such a pain? So weirdly, Avernum isn't an experience of nostalgia for me, but rather just really bloody great RPG.Ī really bloody great RPG that I do often feel I'm playing on the other side of reinforced glass, my arms protruding via thick rubber gloves. And one I'm all the poorer for having missed. It was, I must confess, a moment that completely passed me by, my interests elsewhere in the realms of gaming. We seem to be spoiled for games emulating early RPGs, with Legend Of Grimrock so superbly recapturing the late 80s joy of Dungeon Master/Eye Of The Beholder, and now Avernum, laser-focusing on that moment in the late 90s when the RPG suddenly came back to life. Which is perhaps the surest sign that I'm very deeply embroiled in the underground world of Avernum: Escape From The Pit. 10 coins in the hut in Fort Draco, and I still got it done. Not only does it not make any practical change to my experience, but it doesn't even make an aesthetic change to what I'm seeing. So from that perspective, and despite having spent so many hours still only a fraction of the way in, here's Wot I Think: Avernum: Escape From The Pit is their latest, technically the seventh game in the Avernum series (although presented with a fresh start), the 20th game from the developers, and the first of their games I've played.

Spiderweb Software have one intention: to keep making 90s-style RPGs, and to keep making them good.
