Remember Gothic.
This looks like a modern day reboot of an old classic, but a good one at that. However, they still keep it simple -) unlimited inventory, nights bright as polar ones, and sleepeat is for the weak, not to mention traders are there just to lighten off your load with no regards for morals and bottomless money/ammo pouches ))) Good fun, but a tad below serious immersion. Give it a go.

A very slow, deep game.
Everything is slow and deep to get in this game. Dialogues, story, combats, character evolution, equipment. But very rewarding in the end because most of things are very well done and interesting. Unfortunately, few bugs in combat and crashes when is it rainy.

One of the worst RPGs I've ever played
Think the title says it all. The descriptions of people calling it a "spiritual successor to Gothic" is possibly one of the worst endorsements for a game I've ever seen, to the point where I don't even want to try playing Gothic if it's anything close to this travesty. The fact this game was actually made by a development team and not some dedicated single developer is astounding, because for how wide it is, it's incredibly shallow. The worst part is undoubtedly the combat. Not only is it stiff and janky, it's needlessly difficult in many areas, especially the beginning. The first hour of combat is almost identical to the 50th. The game also includes multiple escort missions, which TRULY shows the weakness of the combat, as you have to genuinely run IN ADVANCE of the character in order to trigger the enemies and attack them before the escort gets there, because the combat is SO POOR. It doesn't reward you for exploration, it almost makes it a necessity. It's almost incredible how the game forces you to trudge along for ages, only to happen upon a heavily overleveled enemy and have you die in two shots, only to reset you back half an hour for your effort. If the story was anything good, at least you'd have a reason to continue. Just look at the love Alpha Protocol has. But instead, we get some of the most boring and trite storytelling imaginable. Nothing truly original is present, it's all easy to understand the moment you hear it. There's no genuine mystery, no sense of amazement. It's got the writing of a mediocre MMO. Genuinely, I'd rather be playing Guild Wars 2 than this game, because that game not only engages you, but it unironically offers a more engaging combat experience. At this point, I should've just written a 5-star review for Guild Wars 2 and pasted it here, you'd get more out of it.

More talk than gameplay
I see why this series killed the studio. Its boring, its designed for you to just talk to people that whole game, not only do you get hardly any XP for combat, but it ridiculasly hard to the point most will quit in the first hour. Piranaha studio should have shut down after Gothic 2.
