I've tried a few topdown, party based RPGs over the years but never really enjoyed them. This game however really struck a chord and I enjoyed it from start to finish. I love the soundtrack and have been playing it on repeat for weeks. I loved the story and writing. I loved the size of the world, which was small enough to keep things interesting but big enough to make exploration fun. I loved the shared inventory and the team I built. Great game, looking forward to whatever the devs do next.
Long time Gothic fan here so I'm embarrassed to admit that I was skeptical about this at first, but I'm glad I gave it a chance because it's incredible. The team behind this clearly know what makes Gothic great and it's all here - the atmosphere, the characters, the slow and rewarding progression, and the attention to detail that brings the world to life. The translation feels a little off at times (I'm an English speaker) so I suspect I'm missing some of the nuance in the dialog, but it's not a big deal. I'm only about 15 hours in but have loved every second of it so far, and can't wait to see what else the island has to offer. I hope that the devs behind this go on to do more - I'd pay good money for an experience like this.
