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.
