Still holds up extremely well despite being uh (checks notes) "PC Game of the Year 1998"
This was my first playthrough. I honestly had no issues with Xen for some reason, but I must've played this wrong because I relied heavily on quicksaves (and was kinda forced to do so; many areas felt super unfair without a good place to restart from). That being said, Nihilanth really isn't a good final boss- super easy to break, and pretty much a pushover once you know what to do.
