Gothic

Gothic is a great immersive experience. The story is simple - The king is at war with orcs, he needs weapons. He sentences all prisoners to mine ore in the mining colony of Khorinis. He sends magicians to create a magical barrier around the colony to prevent prisoners from escaping. Something goes wrong and the barrier traps magicians with prisoners. Soon after the convicts revolt and take over the colony. Now the king is forced to negotiate - he sends luxurious goods in exchange for mined ore. You are a newcoming prisoner - nobody - and you are treated as such. You are not a hero or a chosen one. And if you become sort of one, you bet you earned it. This game has many flaws. The pathfinding of NPCs and creatures is problematic. They often get stuck in objects. There are bugs and glitches - the New Mine quest can be very frustrating to complete. Controls are unusual and you need time to get used to them. However, the atmosphere, the immersion, the soundtrack and sense of progression are amazing. For me, Gothic I. and II. are ones of the most memorable games.

one of the best old games, i love this one. new games have nice design and effects, but still old games have better stories

I have to say, old but gold...

It's a little tricky to get running nicely on newer operating systems, but absolutely worth it. I hope the remake stays true to the original. I was playing this in 2002 here in the US, I hope more people will get in to it.

10/10 on gameplay, but sometimes a little difficult to get it run on today's computers
