I wish I could enjoy it that way, it really does sound amazing, just as a consequence of its age and engine... It's feckin ugly and the combat doesn't feel like much of anything is happening.

The combat is by far the weakest point of the game, that I agree with. It fits well with the idea of keeping it in a second monitor while you watch something else, but it's not engaging alone.

But as for the graphics, using RuneLite plugins you can get a really interesting look where the game still uses the old school models, but a modern lighting system, improved textures and smoother animations. It actually looks super good.
