Gamer's Pulse
If you're used to big, flashy, commercial games with all the latest graphic and audio bells and whistles, it might be easy to overlook Avernum. But don't. Between its sheer size, the non-linear gameplay, and the amount of detail in the game, it makes for a very engrossing experience. Pacing and challenge are likewise excellent, meaning you can really start getting into the meat of the game right way, without spending too much time scraping through those first few levels. Overall, Avernum is just a great RPG, and I found myself impressed over and over.

Glide Underground
An excellent role-playing game for all gamers if players can get past the crude graphics and simple sound effects. There is an immense amount of depth, playability, and game to enjoy. The open-ended gameplay will offer lots of variation and the multiple ways to finish the game is a definite plus to all role-players. A simple interface helps gamers get into the game easily while a difficulty slider allows for multiple game settings for all players of all skill levels.

Avernum is worth any true RPG fans' time. Between the massive area to explore, the plentiful quests and good character development, you really can't go wrong. Besides, it's only $25. You can get it only from the Spiderweb website,

Stratos Group
If you played and enjoyed any of the Exile games, you'll love Avernum. If you haven't played Exile, but are looking for a solid, challenging RPG, give Avernum a try; you won't be disappointed. The overall rating isn't outstanding, but most of the lost points were in the graphics/sound departments; if this doesn't bother you, the game is excellent.

Absolute Games (AG.ru)
Их поклонники предположительно давно умерли или скрываются среди сталактитов и сталагмитов без пищи и крова. При более пристальном чем обычно взгляде начинают теряться и ретируются в родные пещеры, где ждет такой теплый и нежный 486-й, где никогда не обидят братья по разуму и никто не будет смеяться над ними. Они знают все про своих кумиров, но не помнят одного: главное — ни в коем случае не смотреть на скриншоты. А еще лучше... Впрочем, вы сами все знаете. Вы же к ним не относитесь, правда?
