Gothic 1 is an amazing game, sure the controls might not have hold up to this day but the amount of content and hidden things that you can find in this world and how they all interact, thats the true gold of Gothic. I freaking love it!
An amazing game that has its own charm and amazing systems. I always love when a game lets you exploit its own mechanics for your gains, like: >Can get past those pesky high level bandits ? Simple, go into sneak mode and plant lots of traps! >This melee enemy is bugging you ? Simple, kick him in the nuts and stun him for 2 rounds! >Are the rathounds bothering you ? Simple, throw a flare into them since they're scared of light! You should definitely give this game a try, i haven't finished it but i'm enjoying the -+30hrs i've putted into it already.
THE RESULT IS A MASTERPIECE. I spent 8h on my first playthrough of the game playing on "True" difficulty and i had the time of my life, everything in the game feels great stealth, gunplay, killing, you name it. There is flaws in the A.I. sometimes like they instantly shoot you, can't hear you even through thin walls, its stuff that just bugs you but not to ruin your game. If you are looking for a new game for your library this is the one, you will have a great time replaying it too!
