Half good remake
The feelings and atmosphere of the original game can be tasted under the surface of a "new" graphic look. This is only a demo, but features like keybindings, settings, etc. are mandatory for a good product; these are missing here: keybindigs don't works, you can only change the music volume, but every time it resets to 100% (wich is ear breaking). Controls: the controls in game feels slow, like every input is processed half a second after the key is pressed. Some controls of the GUI are interactable only by mouse and others only by keyboard. For example in the dialogue you can't use the keyboard to select dialog choices. I haven't understood how to put the torch back in the inventory as of now, every time an action is performed, the torch is trown on the ground and you risk to forget where you left it. Interface: is very old style (still newer than gothic 1) and I noticed that in the ESC menu the game is still running in background (so no pause?!). The inventory is difficult to manage (still a better experience than gothic 1, but not up to the modern standards). On the contrary the journal management/logic is well done. Combat: I remember the scavengers being a "no-no" at the beginning of the story when the character has no skill in combat, but now they are like little puppies and I killed 3 of them at the same time with a rusty sword; but at the same time an NPC killed me in 2 hits with me not being able to react. So the difficulty level seems a little over the place. (hopefully this behavior is only connected to the quest design) For now this seem to be an half good remake. I hope in the final version they have solved all of the issues, because in general it feels like this game has potential and I would love to play it.
Is this helpful to you?
