My rating: ā/10 I first played this game when I was about 12 years old. I can still play it now and still have an amazing time. I've played Gothic 2 so many times that I know the location of every NPC, enemy and even a specific herb. I just love this game.

Gothic II is the perfect RPG for anyone who loves a good challenge, a touch of medieval fantasy, and plenty of what did I just get myself into? moments. The story follows the nameless hero, who, after surviving the events of Gothic 1, returns to a world filled with danger, shady merchants, and all sorts of weird, unpredictable characters. Youāll explore the beautiful but treacherous land of Khorinis, with its detailed world-building and immersive environments. Youāll get your butt kicked by bandits, wolves, and maybe even a rat or two. But donāt worry, youāll get stronger eventually. And don't forget the complex choices, because nothing screams medieval fantas like choosing between joining factions that might stab you in the back at any moment. The expansion Gothic II: Night of the Raven is the cherry on top. It adds new areas, new enemies, and more ways to make your life miserable, all while throwing in some epic plot twists. And if you like to feel like a true hero, then getting knocked out by an ogre is definitely a memorable experience. Overall, Gothic II will test your patience, your combat skills, and your ability to navigate a world thatās as confusing as it is captivating. Prepare for a wild ride filled with sword fights, magic, and the occasional "Why did I choose this quest?" moment.

Gothic 2 has rightfully earned its place as one of the best RPGs in history, standing out among other games in the genre. Is this the best part of the installment? Definitely not, but it still maintains a solid level of a good RPG. From the very first moments, as I stepped into the shoes of the nameless hero, I was drawn into the fascinating world of Khorinis, where the story, characters, and rich details create an unforgettable atmosphere. However, Gothic 2 is not just about the story and the living world ā itās also a challenge. The combat system, while frustrating and unintuitive at first, provides a bit of satisfaction as you get the hang of it, but still feels pretty crappy overall. This aspect may discourage newcomers, especially those used to more accessible mechanics in newer games. Still, itās worth giving the game a chance because the reward for patience is great. With continuous support from fans who regularly create new mods, Gothic 2 continues to impress. Whether you're returning after many years or discovering this world for the first time, there's always something new to explore ā though its roughness may not appeal to everyone.

For a modern player who has arrived here after randomly encountering glowing praise for this game on the internet (which still persists in certain corners of the web 20+ years later), starting Gothic 2 is likely to be a confusing and frustrating outing. Wtf is this ancient, sadistic game design? Why does my character suck at absolutely everything? When does it get good, and is it actually possible to git gud here? Was this writing even intended to sound professional? Are these low-poly assets with washed-out colors supposed to form a compelling fantasy world? But if thereās one old janky RPG youāre willing to stick with, Iād highly recommend to choose Gothic 2, because what you may find on the other side is one of the most memorable and unique experiences in the genreās history. This game was Skyrim and Dark Souls combined before both even existed: an immersive sim where cooking meat over a campfire, watching the farmersā daily routine or picking the lock of a well-hidden treasure chest feel like the main dish, and also an unforgiving action/RPG with no hand-holding where everything means danger and survival is entirely your ownās problem. Yet at the same time, it was a different, deeper kind of an open-world game; the kind thatās still so hard to come by today. Every quest, every side activity, every hidden cave felt hand-crafted and different here. It combined mechanics in smart ways, like allowing both for "RPG solutions" (e.g. coax a guard) and "platforming solutions" (e.g. find a route from above through the rooftops). It made the world alive like no average copy-pasted, progress-bars-filling modern title could. And itās not as if the questions from above get satisfying answers, revealing some sort of a perfect game design plan; when allās said and done, itās still a rather clunky RPG. Itās more like, even compared to other good Piranha Bytes efforts, everything just works here. Was it really necessary to make the mage route so painfully tough, with you spending the entire first half waiting for the good spells while being afraid of every goblin? Probably not, but they did, and once you stand there at the end after clearing the entire field of high-level orcs with a single fire rain cast, the contrast is staggering, and the feeling of a hard-earned reward is unparalleled. Without a doubt, Gothic 2 is a product of its time. But even with nostalgia goggles off, those just might have been the times worth revisiting.
