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. You’ll explore the beautiful but treacherous land of Khorinis, with its detailed world-building and immersive environments. You’ll get your butt kicked by bandits, wolves, and maybe even a rat or two. But don’t worry, you’ll 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 that’s 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 – it’s 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, it’s 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 – though its roughness may not appeal to everyone.

One of the best RPGs, again - It's regularly in sale and then you can get Gothic 1, 2 and 3 for 4€. Great deal. - Don't buy the bundle including "Arcania". Just Gothic. Trust me - When you start the game, choose "Gothic 2: The night of the raven" in the launcher. So, you play the Base-Game with the Add- on, for a much better experience. The "Add-on" is not a stand-alone and rather a "Add-in". Story It's a "from zero to hero" story, again. You lost your abilities at the end of Gothic 1 and start your new journey as a weak nobody. The game lost the occult theme of Gothic 1 and instead offers a brighter (but still dark) and more generic medieval fantasy setting. Generally, the story is really strong in the beginning and mid and a little drawn out in the end, but that's a minor issue. A must-play for genre-fans. 9,5/10 Gameplay The controls are improved in comparison to Gothic 1, but still not competible to modern ones. But after some hours, you'll get used to them. And may even enjoy them. Mods Over the years the community released a ton of Mods. From cosmetical to total-conversions, there is pretty much everything. Attention: It is possible so block progression if you skill all over the place. So, choose a path early. Tipp: The cost of attributes like strenght, dexterity, mana and fighting skills increase every 30 points. So, level to 29, 59, 89 and so on and learn a 5 points package, for minimal costs.
