Never heard of these before, but look kinda interestingish...

Those of you that have tried any of them, what would you compare them to, and how would you rate them ? Worth acquiring ?

I can of course deduct something myself from reading the info on the pages - as well as eventually take the time with the downloadable demos (not quite yet though, too much other RL stuff)...

I've played Spiderweb games since their Exile's series (of which Avernum is a kind of remake).
The games are quite good and well thought out and deliver a good RPG time (and always with multiple endings). I skipped a couple of games in the Avernum and Geneforge series because the engine just keeps the same for me (even though it is much more detailed from game to game, but still...). But last month I tested Avernum 6 out and was again captivated by the story Jeff Vogel tells. The engine was still the same but since I skipped some games that was ok.
I can recommend these games 😀
