Gothic

Gothic might be a bit hard to get into at first. The fact it needs two fan made patches to work on modern PCs is definitely a big barrier of entry. The extremely unusual controls are a second big barrier of entry. It's common to find new Gothic players in forums asking "how do I pick up items" or "how do I attack". Those who endure these initial trials will be rewarded by one of the most engaging and enjoyable action RPGs you can find on PC, loaded with charm and surprisingly deep. With a plot inspired by John Carpenter's classic film Escape from New York, Gothic takes the typical medieval fantasy setting in a dark and refreshingly original direction. It's a highly immersive game where the player is allowed to choose their own path in the world, aligning with different factions and building the character in different ways. If you love games like The Witcher and The Elder Scrolls, you should give Gothic a try. A lot of what those games do that sets them apart, Gothic did first.

short story + dark and mean atmosphere + cool in game bands and jokes + many decisions can be made + you can play it through many times, you can each one join other fraction or skill magic instead of melee or marksmanship + the monsters and enemies are cool + the story is easy to understand and grabs you - some smalls bugs like npc who talks to you dont let you out of conversation - graphics even with mods still bad - you feel that gothic 2 and 1 should be same game but last moment , PB decided diffrent, like the thief skilltree is pretty useless or else

Arguably one of the best RPG game ever. Gameplay, atmosphere and story are still awesome, but the 3D graphic betrays the year of release. The controls are more unique than bad: you'll have to forget your WASD and learn them from scratch (and you'll realize how much the interface of today's game is standardized - which is a good thing!) If you can get past this, you'll get an awesome adventure in an incredibly well written world, with a challenging and engaging game system. Gaming simply does not get better than this.

Pierwszy RPG i zarazem pierwsza gra, jaką kiedykolwiek przeszedłem. I tak zaczęła się miłość i szacunek do tej serii. Pomimo wyciętej zawartości, bugów, topornej walki gra nadrabia klimatem, warunkami i - co najważniejsze, bo bez tego Gothic nie byłby u nas kultowym - DUBBINGIEM! Jacek Mikołajczak wykonał kawał świetnej roboty, grając rolę Bezimiennego, Adama Baumana również i oczywiście innych aktorów, których szanuję do dziś <3 Dzisiaj sie źle zestarzała, więc nie wszystkim przypadnie do gustu. Ja polecam z całego serca <3

After 23 years it is still a masterpiece.
