Comment on Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss - Closest modern equivalent?

IDK how “modern” you’re looking… Arx Fatalis was meant to be Ultima Underworld III but couldn’t due to the IP being owned by EA. The people at Arkane were in contact with the devs of Ultima Underworld though, as I understand it.

I’ve somehow heard about this game before but failed to realize what this actually was. Oh no … I can feel a new obsession coming on …

I’ve watched a couple of reviews for this recently because a couple people I know just got it on recent sales. What I’ve seen is that it really does try to lean into the feeling of UU games… ie it’s not just a dungeon crawler, but has a fleshed out story and dynamic interactions.
Looks like the recent price discount just ended with the end of the Steam summer sale… but it also looks like it drops that low fairly frequently. Though it’s not like it’s super expensive to begin with heh.
