Unfortunately, modern games - -with a few exceptions - aren't really my thing. Games in the last decade I -enjoyed were Cyberpunk 2077, the latest update of The Binding of Isaac, Monster -Hunter and the NieR games. I wasn't the the mood to play any of these games, -and a friend of mine reminded me of the existence of Dungeon Siege: Legends of -Aranna, so I went ahead and installed it. This was my first ARPG, even though -there's not much of roleplaying in this game, and it was in fact the very first -PC game I've played. The first video game I ever played was Rayman for the Sega -Saturn. -Anyway, Dungeon Siege is a very simple game: You left click to walk around, you -left click to attack enemies and you press H to consume a health potion. That's -basically it. -No, really. You just walk through the world, click on enemies and wait until -they're dead. The worst thing is that, as is common in some older games, you -have a chance to hit. So there are times when you're missing five or more -attacks in a row, which is pretty annoying. A joke my brother and I used to tell -was that Dungeon Siege is probably the best screen saver ever. Put you character -on free movement and auto attack and leave the game running while you're reading -a book or do some work. -When I installed this game I expected that all my good memories with it were -just feelings of nostalgia, but it kept me engaged until the very end. Now I'm -at my favourite part of the game: The second to last starting point, where you -can grind the last quest for powerful loot. If you play in multiplayer you can -select a starting point, depending on your character level. And that is the -thing that keeps me so engaged. The loot in this game is extremely random and -when you finally get something really good it feels incredible. Most modern -ARPGs have certain best-in-slot items that you can fairly reliable farm or -craft. But in Dungeon Siege, it is completely up to chance. That is the thing -I love about this game. -I am still on the first difficulty. There's standard, veteran and elite. One -loot run takes me about 30 minutes. If I do two runs a day, I expect to make it -to elite in about three months. The experience you get really takes a nose dive -once you are on veteran. But that doesn't matter a bit, at least to me. -Another thing about this game is that the soundtrack is incredible.
