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?
It’s pseudo-realtime; things happen on a tick, but that tick is pretty generous in timings and you can pause the game at any point.
Thanks, I’ll give it a go then.
