Gothic

I played it as Child and play it till now, Download Spine and install the stuff you need and you get a neat old game which got a damn nice Voice acting on German side. It doesnt have a difficulty slider and can say the combat system is Unique and Hard, but not unplayable, it just fits to the old genre and REQUIRES you to use your brain. It has plenty of bugs but GOG manages it well and Spine does help aswell. People who rate it that bad forgot how good it was back then and Think about games nowdays, thats their problem and does not fit the Rating it gets now.

Controls may be rough, but this is sill one of the best action RPGs.

Gothic 1 was the inspiration of many modern games with punishing gameplay and grim atmosphere. In fact that's the characteristics I liked in Gothic 1. The fact that you are a nobody imprisoned and slowly you gained allies and strenght to defeat the surrounding threats. It really offered a unique experience! Moreover it is very underrated in the West and is very popular to Germany and eastern Europe (like Poland, Russia etc)

Purchased game in hopes to get a working version, Game does not work at all on Windows 11.

This RPG is very unique and is completely worth the time. I've never played an RPG with combat as such as this. It's hard to get used to the controls but when you are able to kill monsters and NPCs, you feel great that that work finally paid off. Its also great how you can choose which camp t join and to have your own house. Its also got some humour in it and overall, just plain awesome.
