horrible
played it when it came out. Done without imagination, with claustrophobic and tunelled locations. It was a semi ok game at the beginning but lack of imagination and non-existant plot made me abandon it at some point. Pity.

Visual glitches Edition
I know the game is not a good Gothic BUT okayish for a rpg, the visual glitches are annoying in the 2.0.0.2 version, would be awesome if GOG provide the older version 1.1.0.1433 with some fixes The only way to play Arcania today is on Steam with enabled beta "Legacy" and the ArcaniaSteamFix script from hexaae under Guides "Arcania framerate fixes and improvements" GOG should give this game some love and work <3

Very disapointed
The game takes place in the Gothic world, the same monsters, NPCs, etc. The plot is simple. Very predictable. Unfortunately not worth any pounds. Gothic 1 and 2 have a more open world and a more interesting plot. It is well below Gothic 3 which has some open world elements. This game is linear and has nothing about the open world. I think GOG set this by mistake. You move from one location to another, step by step. It is not possible to go, for example, to houses that are not intended for this purpose. All roads are blocked until you complete the tasks that allow you to open the next door. There is nowhere to go but forward. Very linear. I would say it's a shooter set in a gothic world.

Not an Gothic sequel, decent RPG
It's a somewhat decent RPG if you don't think of it as an Gothic sequel. Also worth buying with an 80% discount, full price is a rip-off.

Painfully mediocre
A lot of people complain about the fact this game is not like other Gothic games. That is not a very fair assesement of a game. I havent played the Gothic series, but played Risen, which is very similar to Gothic since it was made by the same developers. And I am glad it went a different route from Risen in terms of combat. However, it has plenty of issues on its own. Disclaimer, I only played through the starting area, but judging by some other descriptions I think I know what to expect. In regards to Graphics and audio I can say its pretty decent. It goes for a more realistic look, which I enjoy. Some things may look bland, but overall the view was nice. The general idea for the main quest was pretty simple - a revenge arc. And its fine. However the presentation of the quests/stories can be very dull, have inconsistent tone and is too linear. The voice acting can range from alright to weird. The quests themselves are very basic. Gameplay is much more streamlined from Risen. You have the same melee weapon, ranged weapon and magic, but the enemies are easier to handle. They can still block and have strong attacks, which you need to evade with rolls, yet its no longer a duel to the death with each low level enemy you encounter. Attribute wise enemies are suited to the players level. Probably due to the linear character of the game. Using the bow here is much more enjoyable than in Risen. However, the balance here is now way off toward the easy spectrum. Nothing really presented a challenge and when the game tries to make enemies use unique features it is very clunky. Like a bug that hides in its shell to regenerate if you damage it too much. You can get it out with the use of lightning, but it then makes a knowckback and quickly hides again. Turns into a grind situation. There are some small technical glitches as well. The game isnt bad, its just not that good in anything. You can play it, but Im pretty sure there are better things to try first.
