This early demo really conveys the feeling of the first Gothic. The setting, sound and characters just fit. This remake seems to not only hit the mark on the original, but on what I remember the original to have been. Really looking forward to this!
First things first: I love this game. It seems that this rpg encompasses the drive of a visual novel with the big 5 model known in psychology. Character traits and experience form how much resilience one develops against fear and anger, portaing the ambiguity of actions in a fresh and unique way. Changing your path takes effort in form of motivation points, which are hard to come by as this first act progresses. A big part is the involvement of luck, since there are constant dice rolls in the background. The only time I thought this game to be frustrating was when I was unable to perform the way I would have liked to. But that only emphasizes how quickly it becomes enticing. If you're looking for a new take on being a leader and something with a lot more realism to it I can absolutely recommend this game. In addition to the fantastic gameplay it offers lovely and detailed characters, interesting choices and a lot of insight one might not expect from a game. 4/5 Stars due to bugs (early access stuff, nothing gamebreaking) and the early stage of the game. When the other acts keep up with this quality wise it'll be 5/5 easy.
