The king in Arx Fatalis should seem very familiar to anyone who has played the Ultima series. Arx Fatalis was originally created to actually BE Ultima Underworld 3 but it didn't work out. Has absolutely nothing to do with the original unfortunately, but it is a great modern version of System Shock 2 which others have pointed out is basically a sci-fi Ultima Underworld.

In my eternal quest to find immersive dungeon crawlers, that most elusive of game genre that so few seem to care about CRY, here are four incredible Doom mods that provide experiences very similar that I would highly recommend:Ībysm 1 and 2 are "action RPG" total conversions for the Doom engine, produced by Jazzmaster. (Highly inspired by old school dungeon crawlers like Ultima) (the main character kinda sucks but highly reactive to player choice) Unfortunately there are very few games that fall under that category, but the games that do fit are often considered "good" to "one of the best games ever!".
