I think I played whichever one was on my Amiga waaaay back in the day, and whichever one was on PS3 for a bit. I was also a big fan of some of the Might and Magic games, which I feel were something of a bridge between the old dungeon crawlers and something like Morrowind.

Anyway I was thinking of trying one out again. Any recommendations, maybe one with modern QOL features to ease in?

I see there’s a remake of Wizardry 1(?) and remasters of the Etrian Odyssey games in the past couple years. I’m also kind of intrigued by Undernauts, which looks like it might throw a little Shin Megami Tensei flavor in?

    Legend of Grimrock and Vaporum are supposedly pretty good. World of Horror looks sick and has a Junji Itō inspired spin. And there is a new release The Secret of Weepstone that’s very much inspired by the current resurgence of oldschool tabletop games.

      World of Horror is pretty awesome, but I don’t think I would ever really lump it together with first person dungeon crawlers like Wizardry or Grimrock

      Ooh, I’m really digging the art style on Grimrock. It’s very reminiscent of the weird-looking old games, but so charming and slick about it.

      Weepstone also looks fantastic, like playing an AD&D sourcebook. Will definitely be trying that demo this weekend.
