Never managed to play it through though. Always got stuck after the second boat travel.
Without a journal it gets hard to keep track of what you are after. I agree with the reviewer, the story is great and really sucks you in.
It is a beautiful remnant from the time developers didn't concentrate every last particle of resources to making an eye blindingly realistic engine, but actually gave time to developing characters and making a really immersive storyline.

Ah screw it, right now I'm struggling with silverfall and the old magic the gathering computer game.
Because neither will work for me, which is a shame as they're both pretty good games.
Yeah, the storytelling is brilliant and the battle system is not bad, even if it is turn based. It's a bit like chess.DoctorNick said:Yeah, I would say I am definitely enjoying it so far.paasi said:Albion is a really good game and nostalgic.

The only problem I run into is that the game runs just a little spotty on my computer and locks up now and then. In of itself this wouldn't be too horrible except I keep getting so drawn into the game I find myself repeatedly forgetting to save and end up losing the last couple hours.
But the overall level of storytelling is something that modern games could learn from, it has been a very long time since the twists in a game have legitimately surprised me as much as the ones in Albion have.
