Description

The Legend is Back

Return to the Valley of the Mines in this faithful remake of the genre-defining open world RPG. Explore a hand-crafted, organic open world that reacts dynamically to your actions. Whether you're a seasoned Gothic veteran or this is your first time being thrown into the colony, you're in for a true RPG experience with unrestricted exploration like no other.


 

Welcome to the Colony

The Kingdom of Myrtana has been invaded by a relentless horde of orcs. Desperate for powerful weapons to repel them, King Rhobar II orders the mining of vast quantities of magical ore, setting every available prisoner to work in the Khorinis mines. To ensure no one escapes, the King commands his most skilled mages to erect a magical barrier. But something goes terribly wrong, and the magic spirals out of control, trapping everyone inside. The prisoners rebel, transforming the mine into a lawless territory ruled by the Colony’s most brutal inmates.

Now, the King must negotiate with these new rulers, as tensions rise among the mine's factions. Amidst the chaos, the arrival of an unknown prisoner will change everything…


 

 

A True RPG-Experience

Gothic 1 Remake remains faithful to the original experience, rebuilding the game from the ground up while preserving its distinctive sense of unrestricted exploration and satisfying progression. The dark and gritty world of the Colony is richly detailed and immersive, with NPCs and wildlife following realistic daily routines independent from the player.

While the core pillars of the game remain intact, the remake enhances the experience with expanded and more detailed questlines, additional NPC routines and reactions, new traversal abilities, and a fully modernized combat system.

First impressions are very positive!

I will definitely update my "review", but so far I am pretty excited based on what I have played. My impressions are definitely much better than those I had after playing the two demos that were released for this remake. Imerssion seems to be great (no quets markers, no minimap, no handholding, even objectives are only visible when players want (after pressing the F button in the Journal]). I have not seen the map yet but hopefully it is at least as immersive as the rest of the game. Graphics and atmosphere are pretty solid. It ain't at this so called AAA level, but definitely good. The controls are solid, the combat system is as junky as before (but still as immersive as before). It is pretty rare for me to make compliments towards new games, super rare. But Gothic 1 Remake, at least as far as my impresions go, is one of these games. The biggest issues are related to the techincal (no surprise right?). However I have not seen any bugs or poor technical state compared to the trash called The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

Great Remake

I was skeptical with the demons at first but i think it turned out really well just got through chapter 1 and its really fun obviously some vibes of the original because of the modern graphics and not campy voice acting isnt there but i believe it turned out just as good as the original while leaving room for the original in terms of experiencing the gothic franchise Would reccomend

Great remake and game

If you already know Gothic then this is a good remake with new features, content, etc, while still staying true to the original. If you don't know Gothic, then this is a modern oldschool game that you will enjoy if you like oldschool RPG's. Positives: - Graphic; Combat; World building + exploration - Expanded mechanisms from original (armor, cooking, etc.) - Solid voice acting and writing Negatives: - Some bugs (use English keyboard settings if you dont want issues with controls, few crashes) - Runs well/okish on high end PCs not sure how it will work on Low end PCs

It's Gothic!

What can I say? What can I tell you? This is the game that did so many firsts, and with such excellence! You like action roleplaying games with a good bit of believability and grit, but still phantastical and different from our world? Play Gothic!
