I was especially fond of M&M 6 7 and 8 as a kid. I have also played the most recent, 10, which while different and flawed in many ways, was still good enough to be enjoyable. I have also liked things like Wizardry 8 in the past.
I did try to replay 7 recently, but I thought that it has not maybe aged too well as the combat was too grindy for my current tastes.
Can anyone recommend something similar perhaps?
Legend of grimrock cannot be paused, can it?
I had seen it getting played, but somehow I think this turns me off. Optional pausing for issuing commands would be perfect, but real time only would be too stressing I believe.
But I’m willing to try if recommended enough.
It’s pseudo-realtime; things happen on a tick, but that tick is pretty generous in timings and you can pause the game at any point.
Thanks, I’ll give it a go then.
I think you just hit the pause button? If you’re in a safe area it doesn’t matter too much though. I didn’t play the old might and magic games, but Legend of Grimrock 2 has some of my favorite gaming memories from adulthood. The puzzle aspects are some of my favorite parts of it so idk if that says you one way or another.
