A very good game
A very good game where you can do what you wants, with a great feel freedom and a very immersive mediaval-fantasy atmosphere. I suggest to download and install the community's patch to avoid the bugs.

The combat though...
I've barely played this game, but that first battle was...Lets just say it didin't feel satisfying or even remotely entertaining. I know everyone keeps saying if you just get into the game a bit it gets better. Honestly i'm having a hard time getting into the game. My opinion combat can make or break a game like this and i've never seen a game with more boring combat than this one... Open world is kinda nice though.

Project with too many ambitions
It was meant to conclude the trilogy, but instead it collapses under its own ambition. While other RPGs of the time offered strong sequels, this one traded atmosphere and coherence for scale, resulting in a game that feels hollow and unfinished. The open world is vast and beautiful, with deserts, forests, and mountains seamlessly connected. But despite its size, exploration is unrewarding: caves and dungeons are repetitive, filled with generic loot, and lack the tension of the earlier games. The impressive setting feels empty. At release, the game was a technical disaster plagued by crashes, bugs, broken animations, and unresponsive controls. Community patches made it playable, but even today its problems remain. Combat was originally exploitable with spamming, later rebalanced but still clunky and flat. There's no progression or sense of mastery as ranged attacks and especially magic, trivialize most encounters. Narratively, Gothic 3 abandons what made the series engaging. Returning characters feel mishandled, the orcs are suddenly articulate strategists, yet inspire no fear, and the supposed war-torn world lacks immersion as you never feel like you are not welcome in this world conquered and enslaved by orcs. The faction system is reduced to a reputation system, stripping away the depth of joining and experiencing guild life. Quests resemble more a MMORPG design with simple fetch quests. Writing is shallow, NPCs are forgettable, and dialogue offers little personality. The complex rivalries and political topics of the first two games are gone, replaced by a story that feels flat. The soundtrack is polished but mismatched, with sweeping orchestral themes that don't fit the series' gritty roots, and combat music quickly grows irritating. In the end, Gothic 3 feels rushed and misguided, chasing size over substance. Some players may enjoy its open world, but as a continuation of a once-beloved RPG series, it fails to capture what made Gothic special.

Unworthy of it's predecesors
The story is good, but isn't comparable with the first to games . The game is preaty well optimized, runing at 60fps , but it's crashing from 30m to 30m in the Nordmare.There are alsow sem good things as the crafting and the world designe that is littered with places to explore and secret. Buy it for the sake of the other games, you may like it.Who knows?
