Gothic 2 Gold Edition

Great story focused RPG back then, still holds up well nowadays if you want a change of pace. Combat is something you have to get used to at first, once you get it its fine, default controls in general are somewhat cumbersome, but nothing you can't get used to. If you're interested in an early 2000s Witcher game, check both Gothic 1 and 2 out, highly recommended!

Gothic 2 always had a good place in my memory. Old engine sadly does not cooperate well with new, way more advanced systems but with some basic mods it will run as normal. Slap some DX11 mod/addon for updated graphics and it does not require a remaster. Whenever you see an error to why it does not run, than just google the issue and solution will be there. Took me 3 hours of my day to fix it and was more dedicated than doing some hardcore content in MMORPG's There are plenty of mods that add new adventures. Always have it installed on my PC even if I don't play it. Will recommend it to anyone who enjoys RPG.

Gothic 1 & 2 are one of my favorites game ever! I'v put 60+ hours in both of them. An interesting thing is that I first played Gothic 2 and then Gothic 1. Made the story more interesting in a strage way. The thing is that Gothic, as with A LOT of "gog", you have to play them back then. When they had something new and not when you got spoiled by phicics, insanely high production value of other comercial games, etc. Gothic is the type of game that has a terrible first impression. For me it was hard. I remember I easily got killed by the 3 goblins in the first 5 mins. Then I got to a guy on a bench and I remember how bad was the voice acting. A friend of mine told me to "you really have to play it" so I gave it one more chance... and damn I don't regret it. It's the type of game that makes you think. I really was the "unnamed hero". I really was there. I really TRIED to get into the town. I really tried to become an apprentice so I can gain access to the higher town to talk with a dude and so on. It really gave me a lot of freedom. I was also not told where to go or what to expect. Sometimes I just explored only to get killed by some strange skeleton I never encountered. It wasn't like on another VERY overated RPG that people like to kiss in the ass... you go to a new zone you see "level 7-12". No. The whole WORLD was at your disposal. I feld that whatevar I did ment something. I feld that whatever I did I gained something and I wasn't forced on doing it... like in this new crappy "Arcania" game. I really liked that when I walked into someones house, they ran at me telling me to leave. if I stoled something they knew about it and they would hit me. It really feld like something. I feld like I was there.

Play this game thoroughly before you judge it. It's one of the most massive, focused, and challenging (and i mean it) RPG experiences around, with a huge, deep world filled with complex quests and item. The combat is really difficult in the beginning, but it gets much more enjoyable as you progress through the game. The graphics are ok for 2001, and they suit the scale of the content. Quests are complex, and plentiful, therefore giving much appeal to the exploration-oriented gameplay Featuring over 80 hours of gameplay (main quest+some sidequests) with plenty of replay value, this is one journey that you shouldn't miss.

...because this game will lock you in and immerse you in it's great atmosphere and story. I can't add any more to what all the other reviews here have said about this game, so it's better to just enjoy the experience. A note of warning, though: this is not fully 100% compatible with new systems and win10 so it requires you to download some community patches in order to make it work on a higher resolution that 1280x1024.
