Geneforge 2 is an Indie fantasy role-playing adventure with a science fiction twist. Explore a huge world, choose which side you will fight for, and make your own horde of completely obedient mutant monsters. Geneforge 2 has a huge and open storyline. You can join with any of several factions and reach dozens of different endings.
Let me start by saying I love Geneforge 1. That said, this is not as good as Geneforge 1. This is for the simple reason that while playing geneforge 1, everything was a mystery. Playing Geneforge 2, the player has so much more information than the character he or she is playing. This hurts a lot when you're playing a story driven game.
Pros:
Still good story writing
Multiple endings
Rewarding multiple...

Despite what the negative review said, it worked perfectly fine on my computer.
I have a Samsung office model that is about 2-3 years old and it runs fine on my computer.
It's not as good as the first game in my opinion, but it is still worth playing! I would buy the bundle to get all 5 games for the price of one!

Geneforge 2 is my all time favorite Isometric RPG. I have played it probably a hundred times, though most of these times were on the old RealArcade launcher when I was growing up. It's got a wonderful story with compelling factions and engaging combat, a straightforward and meaningful stat allocation system as well as fun power progression. Jeff is a genius :)

I very much enjoyed Geneforge 1 and Geneforge 2 is so similar in so many ways that I had expected to really enjoy it as well. The game could be a direct continuation of the first one. It has the same UI style, the same mechanics, the same graphic style... what it lacks though is the real sense of mystery. In Geneforge 1 you go into it without understanding much about the world, the shapers, etc... in Geneforge 2...

Geneforge, KOTOR and a couple other titles formed the core of my childhood gaming career. I can't fathom the number of hours I must have put into this game as a kid. So it's with full acknowledgement that I'm very, VERY biased when saying this game is perfection. Geneforge 1 is the game I started on, but it's this one that truly drew me into the series.
Geneforge 2 is a rare case of a sequel improving on the...

Developed and published by Spiderweb Software, Geneforge 2 continues the studio's tradition of delivering deep, choice-driven role-playing experiences that prioritize imagination over presentation. Released during an era when many RPGs were chasing larger budgets and increasingly cinematic storytelling, Geneforge 2 instead doubled down on player freedom and intricate world-building. Set in the mysterious frontier of...

It feels like a 90's game that released early 2000's. It's fun exploring its massive world.
I feel like Geneforge's biggest selling point is its accessibility and size. I like the story-telling which doesn't overdo the amount of reading dialogue (Like many better games of its type). The combat and the UI is very straightforward too, making it easy to dive into.
You will be save-scumming your way through it, it's...

This is probably my favorite c-rpg of any other ive played. I normally feel restricted in rpgs as I normally am too guilty to play as a "evil" faction (mainly because "evil" factions are kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥). But every faction in this game and the series has a reasonable view and desired course of action. I have played as three of the 4 (technically 5) factions in this game. I explored all I could in the first play...

I'm genuinely sad that this game is nearly fifteen years old and so few games have come out in the whole of the time that have had the same feeling of pure narrative RPG elements that this one has. Where, in most instances, it's abundantly clear that a game has components solely designed to appeal to the maximum viewship and reach the maximum number of sales, I genuinely feel the the sole purpose of Geneforge 2 is to...

Also a classic childhood game of mine that I played long ago and love again playing this game again now as I remember still good story and map. The combat interesting to as always and a lot of factions that you could join or just stay unaligned. 10/10
