Despite its age, Gothic gave me more emotions than many modern titles. The variety of quests, the open world, the choice of guilds, and most importantly, the good storyline that's what hooked me on Gothic. The controls can be tricky at first, but over time you get used to them and they even become logical. Overall, I enjoyed the game
It's very unfair that this game has passed by a wider Western audience. Gothic is a heartfelt, detailed RPG that offers an unforgettable experience. The game offers a small, yet highly detailed, open world that constantly stimulates the player's curiosity. At the start, the game places you in a very challenging situation where, as a helpless convict, you must survive in a colony teeming with thieves, murderers, and monsters; the game constantly reminds you of your vulnerability in the world around you (hello, the quest with that bastard Bladwin), which motivates you to climb the ranks in one of the camps while simultaneously leveling up the main character. And leveling up - that SENSE OF PROGRESS - is, in essence, the game’s main draw. It lets you unlock new paths in the open world that were previously blocked - for example, by powerful mobs - or take on more challenging and lucrative quests, as well as properly kick the asses of those bastards who used to walk all over you. Although the plot isn't particularly deep, you often encounter interesting and charismatic characters who are fun to interact with, and a potentially good remake could address some of the plot's gaps and shortcomings—which is exactly what the remake's developers have promised. One of the game's drawbacks is its somewhat clunky control scheme, which is optimized for a gamepad. To pick up an item, you have to press a button and then the forward directional button—this is the only way to pick up items. You can get used to it fairly quickly, but it's inconvenient when, for example, you're buying items from an NPC or taking items out of chests. It's also worth noting that the story is fairly short, and after Chapter 4, there are no side quests left in the open world—which gives the impression that the world is slowly dying out. I don't have much faith in this remake from a different studio; judging by the trailers, it seems like the developers don't quite get the original concepts in terms of gameplay and visual style. Well, I'll just have to wait for the release. For me personally, Gothic is a 10/10
