You know that feeling you get after completing a game, like that "what am I gonna do with my life now?" type of feeling? Anachronox hits that feeling hard. This is a beautiful, inspired RPG and one the most underrated games I've ever played. It's Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy meets Chrono Trigger meets Ender's Game with a dash of noir. The game boasts a memorable cast of characters, subtle yet hilarious humor, and cutscenes that are composed with more imagination and creativity than most triple-A games today (mind you, this game was made on the Quake 2 engine)! Not to mention the impressive voice acting that adds so much charm to them. The biggest hurdle to get over is the combat system, which is an odd mix of turn-based JRPG styled combat and real time combat. But otherwise what you're in for is an enthralling adventure with lots of twists and turns. The development of this game is fascinating as well and definitely worth the deep dive of interviews and articles. The saddest part about Anachronox is that it was meant to be a trilogy; the ending of the game is narratively complete on it's own but it is only a fraction of what was left to explore. Two other games were planned but sadly never saw the light of day due to Ion Storms closure. It currently sits in Eidos' IP limbo. Which is a shame because there really is no other game like this one. This is an essential play for any PC gaming aficionado.
