Undying is 17 years old, takes 18 hours to finish

[BFG10K]

I can’t really do a poll for this one. I last finished Undying in 2007 and I decided to replay it. This is one of the greatest games of all time and one of my favorite games ever. I’ve literally finished it nine times now.

I ran it at 2560x1440 + 4xTrSS at a constant 80FPS gsync. The graphics still look quite nice despite their age:

Spoiler

• Excellent level design at the Covenant Estate, the alternate dimensions and time travel also add really nice variety.
• Exploring dark nooks and crannies is always rewarded, your character can still get stronger right until the end of the game.
• Awesome dual-wield weapon/spell combos, highly original implementations like phoenix eggs (piloted guided missiles), skull-storm (tri-barrel rocket launcher), electrified spear guns, and a living dragon that fires ice grenades.
• Really nice atmosphere and creepy sound effects, differing death animations depending on the enemy that kills you.
• Great story, characters and voice acting. The in-game journal is always interesting to read.

It’s a real shame the game never got a sequel or a modern source-port.

The Clive Barker game?

Yep. I think he actually voiced the Ambrose character in the game, too.

Not only did I buy this game on release (and still own it.) but it was then and will most likely remain my all time favorite game experience. It was wonderfully done.

Speedrunning this game is like jacking off for 5 minutes instead of spending the night with a beautiful woman.

It is now on sale at gog.com for $1.49.

I bought this game long ago. And it is also one of my favorites.
