I wouldn´t say it is the best Gothic they ever made, but it sure is a lot better than the third one. Gothic 3 was nearly unplayable if you didnt install certain stuff to improve handling and so forth. Arcania on the other hand has smooth controls, vivid graphics and a story that fits into Gothic. Lets not overexaggerate ; Gothic 2 still is, in my opinion, the better Game. But im pretty sure a big part of this is nostalgia and the fact that at the time Gothic 2 came out, there was hardly any other Game comparable. Overall Arcania is a very solid game, and I cannot respect people who trashtalk this game. Nearly every part of their critic is just cynic and has no actual point. If you have played other Gothic-Games before, make sure to pick this one up, too.
