According to my nostalgic recollection, this was the best of the Gold Box games (I still haven't played Pools of Darkness or the Savage Frontier games though). The blend of great quest design, purdy graphics, exploration, and sweet sweet tactical variety were a huge hook to middle school, D&D nerd me. It's also in copyright limbo, so GOG won't let me kill my nostalgia by actually playing the game again.

There's a lot to like about Matrix Cubed, and the quest design is among the best in the Gold Box series. I also like the combat a bit better than in the previous game, with the increased difficulty encouraging the use of rocket launchers and grenades. One major flaw is the absurd amount of random encounters in later areas, which really drag the game down.
