About
Return to the Valley of the Mines in this faithful remake of the genre-defining open world RPG. Explore a hand-crafted, organic open world that reacts dynamically to your actions. Whether you're a seasoned Gothic veteran or this is your first time being thrown into the colony, you're in for a true RPG experience with unrestricted exploration like no other.
The Kingdom of Myrtana has been invaded by a relentless horde of orcs. Desperate for powerful weapons to repel them, King Rhobar II orders the mining of vast quantities of magical ore, setting every available prisoner to work in the Khorinis mines. To ensure no one escapes, the King commands his most skilled mages to erect a magical barrier. But something goes terribly wrong, and the magic spirals out of control, trapping everyone inside. The prisoners rebel, transforming the mine into a lawless territory ruled by the Colony’s most brutal inmates.
Now, the King must negotiate with these new rulers, as tensions rise among the mine's factions. Amidst the chaos, the arrival of an unknown prisoner will change everything …

To be completely honest, I’m really wrestling with myself about giving this game a negative review, but it should have never been released in this state. While the beautiful world, epic story, and compelling NPCs have the potential to make this a AAA title, softlocks and game-breaking bugs completely ruin the fun. As an example: I went through the trouble of completing the Syra quest in a way that ensures she survives. When Gomez attacks the Fire Mages, I killed absolutely everyone in the camp. I received the reward and thanks from Syra, and the quest log stated she should be safe now that Gomez is dead. But as soon as Chapter 4 triggers, a text pop-up appears showing an autokill. The final boss fight with crazy Milten couldn't be finished either because Milten's character model doesn't load. After his monologue, absolutely nothing happens. And those are just a few out of dozens of examples. Another annoying thing: you get attacked for no reason. You didn't do a single thing wrong, you leave the area, come back, and every single NPC instantly aggros on you. Or accidentally hitting Tarrok while fighting minecrawlers—after that, Tarrok constantly spawns behind you, is immortal, and does nothing but attack you. Even after he defeats you, he doesn't stop. He just spawns behind you anywhere in the world and starts fighting. So, it has AAA potential but trash-tier technical execution. Worse than Gothic 3 or Elex. Please Alkimia, never make Gothic 2. Let someone do it who actually knows what they're doing.
dali rade. mocne 7/10, czekam na remake 2 czesci
Ahh wspomnienia wróciły! Klimat oryginału zachowany! POLECAM! i czekam na kolejną część <3
В плане атмосферы ремейк хорош. Только по этому оценка положительная. Геймплей - днище пробитое, разработчики почему-то решили, что каждый шаг должен быть сложным, в итоге игрок всю игру ощущает себя слабым, в оригинале такого не было и близко, многие моменты просто неадекватны. Качество сейчас отвратительное, баг на баге, и с каждым новым патчем разработчики добавляют ещё больше багов, ломая то, что работало нормально.
Honorable remake of a beatiful old game. I only hope for remake Gothic 2 and 3.
Runs like ♥♥♥♥. It feels like the game is struggling not to crash. What's the point of releasing a game if it can't be enjoyed properly?
10 Улу-Мулу из 10. P.S. Кай - Моцарт от мира видеоигровой музыки.
Würde gerne eine Empfehlung aussprechen. Aber das Bugfest ab Mitte Kapitel 2 ist einfach zu hart. In dem Zustand brauche ich auch kein Remake von Gothic 2.
Алхимики сделали классную игру. Старая добрая Готика, отлично проработана визуально и созданы не менее прекрасные саундтрек, который ещё не заезжен, что тоже очень важно. Улучшены механики, основа никуда не делась. Единственная ложка дёгтя - это прохождение за мага. Каст заклинания шаровая молния (касается всех заклинаний) частенько уходит в текстуры и не наносит урона. А с учётом, что я играю на высокой сложности, мой промах означает быстрое появление врага перед носом и скорую кончину, тайминг на прокаст не хилый. А еще прицел для заклинания не может иногда наводиться когда враг стоит сбоку. Конечно, это не шутер, но когда начал кастовать, уже не смешно, ведь флаконы с маной дорогие. Это очень раздражает, и так всю игру. И вообще кажется, что в ремейке магов понерфили. В остальном какие-то огрехи столь незначительные, что обсуждать их нет смысла. Игра отлично оптимизирована, я даже на старушке Radeon Sapphire RX590 GME 8gb играю на высоких, снизил только освещение на среднее.
Ich war zugegebenermaßen skeptisch, dass das Remake es schaffen wird, die magische Atmosphäre zu einzufangen, ohne dabei unoriginell oder altbacken daher zu kommen. Tatsächlich ist es Alkimia Interactive gelungen, den Spagat aus Nostalgie und Moderne zu meistern. Ich habe das Remake jetzt gute 50 Stunden gezockt und befinde mich mitten drin (Akt 3) und kann mich seinem Charme nicht mehr entziehen, es macht regelrecht süchtig. Für mich als Fan erster Stunde des Originals hätte das Remake wirklich kaum besser werden können, ich mag vor allem die sinnvollen (Quest-) Ergänzungen und zusätzliche Dialoge etc. Der ein oder andere Bug ist mir zwar bereits begegnet, aber als schwerwiegend oder nervtötend erwies sich derer bisher keiner, daher kann ich hier aus meiner Erfahrung Entwarnung geben. Ausschließen dass sich das noch ändert im weiteren Spielverlauf kann ich allerdings nicht. Ungeachtet dessen kann ich eine absolute Kaufempfehlung ausssprechen, mir macht dieses Remake wirklich gottlos viel Spaß!
