Готика 2 Золотое Издание

Gothic II is a great Computer Rpg. The game world is larger than the first episode and programmers had the time to refine the work at the best, so there are meaningless bugs. Our hero has destroyed the barrier that imprisoned him and all his fellows, and now can freely travel through the island of Khorinis. But there is still a great danger that menace non only the island; our hero will have to defeat it. Gothic II expand the world of the first game and refine the concept game that was presented in the first episode. The world is alive, dynamic, and there will be the chance to do all we want. In the game there will be three factions to choose, it's the way to follow a different plot and a different way to play. Controls are more user friendly than the first episode, and from a technical point of view in general this episode is better than the first one, almost perfect. In my opinion the game loose a bit of charme in comparison with the first episode; maybe for the lost of open sky prison concept that were a great invention for the plot. In general the game lacks of lore: there are few books in game, without stories or legends. The expansion add a new map, a new plot, and above all, change some mechanic. In general the expansion give more challenge from an action point of view, so who prefers the gdr side of game could appreciate more the original Gothic II; players who like very much action will prefer “Night of the Raven”. It's necessary to restart the game in order to play the expansion, so my advise is to play before the original Gothic II and than with “Night of the Raven”. A great classic that every player who love computer role playing games should have.

So close to being a great game but let down by terrible controls. Character movement is clumsy and combat is poorly designed. Ignore the nostagic opinion of others, the fact is this game tries so hard but the execution is just not quite there, and that's why it's a cult classic and an underground hit, but will never a blockbuster. It's a great sandbox experience with great quests, awards exploration and is a beautiful game world and captivating story but the frustration built by the controls is just too much to overlook.

I love this game, I really do but unfortunatly it's a pain to get running if you even can get it running at all, I have spent about 3 hours trying to get it to work, reinstalling, fan patches and more, nothing seems to get it to run. This why I am forced to give it a low raiting even though this was one of the best RPGs I've ever played and feel so sad to write this review.

Really great game from start to finish. Awesome story, good graphics, great characters. It also has unique combat mechanics, which are clunky and awkward at first (since your character can't fight), but your ability to control the character improves the more you train the combat style. The only thing that they could have improved is the difficulty Balancing. The game is quite hard at the beginning and far to easy at the end.

Unlike the Steam version, this one works without needing any fixes (I am using Windows 10). The only issue that remains is an annoying sound in the tower of Xardas, but you won't spend much time there. NICE!! FINALLY!!
