It may be quite short, it may not have many tracks of too wide choice of cars, but the character of the game, top down perspective, fun sounds, quirky traps, shortcuts....this is my childhood in a nutshell. Thanks GoG a lot, I was wandering when this gem will show up here <3 I am giving this 5 stars, because there is nothing like it (Micromashines, Mashed are car combat) and for nostalgia.
Gothic 2 is my favorite game. It is my first RPG that I played and knew what I was doing (more or less) It captured me with beautiful world, funny dialogues, quite good story, various monsters and places to explore or with the fighting system which many consider clumsy, but I find it highly entertaining. Character progression, fun quests, armor....progression in this game is just so rewarding! Moreover - all the stuff that you get to do? Blacksmithing, hunting, alchemy,... - it is all logical and has it's place in the world. Picking among three distinct factions has its fun merits - mage monastery looks spectacular, mercenary farm adventurous and full of mead and fighting for freedom, militia and knighthood honor and mighty fine armor.... just go for it.
