I really enjoyed my playthough of Geneforge 1, despite the difficulty and dated feel of its isometric graphics.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
If you looked at the screenshots like I did, then glanced skeptically at all of the positive reviews, you must be thinking that no matter how good the gameplay or story is, this game is an eyesore and will probably test your patience with the outdated graphics.
