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 …

Feels just like the Original Gothic Series.
I spent over 15 Hours in Act 1, so yeah, i like it
Perfect
Perfect remake if you played the original game. Waiting for Gothic 2 Remake!!
As an old returning player I couldn't be more happy with the remake. They kept the soul of the game alive while hitting the gym. Kudos. I can appreciate this awesome classic once again in a new fresh light. Combat is as I remember with some sweet new tweaks. The game is a punishingly brutal as i remember and wouldn't have it any other way. Forcing you to adapt to the situation and think. Please don't stop with the remake of Gothic 1 hittem all!
Even though i despise unreal engine as a matter of principle, this game a succesful remake. Character movement feels janky, combat too but less so, expect for magic which is unsatisfyingly janky as it stuns you in place and gets blocked by obstacles and the environment. Graphics on their own are high resolution but with a controversial art direction which makes the game look bland, washed out with excessive post processing & Lightning due to ue5 Lumen ( the bane of my existence ). Nonetheless it is a good reimagining of a classic with a great story and many in depth role playing options ( even though you play a pre determined character ) If you want have a better experience just search for [spoiler] gothic 1 remake Natural Lighting presets for reshade on nexusmods [/spoiler] or at least set Saturation +20, contrast -30 in the in game color correction settings
Recommended? Yes... but barely because of that ending. My main feeling after finishing the game is this: I'm amazed by how good it is, and at the same time by how incredibly buggy and frustrating it can be. Overall, this was an incredible experience. The original Gothic was one of the first games I ever played, so I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I'm usually not a fan of remakes, but this one is genuinely well done. The graphics are fantastic, the gameplay modernizes the original without losing its identity, and mechanically it's a huge improvement in most areas. For the vast majority of the game, I had a great time. But... what the hell happened with the final boss? !SPOILER WARNING! You fight your way through the Sleeper's Temple, annihilating every enemy in your path, only for the final encounter to completely fall apart. Some of the visions were fine, but others felt incredibly buggy. Milten's section, for example, was a nightmare because the ovens simply wouldn't light up, even though he was clearly hitting them with his fireballs. And then there's the Mad Demon. Honestly, that was one of the worst gameplay experiences I've had in years. The difficulty spike is absolutely insane. The fight demands almost perfect reactions, yet the controls simply aren't precise enough to support that kind of encounter. Dodging feels inconsistent, and several of my attacks just... didn't register. I'd be standing right in front of him, driving Uriziel straight through his body, and his health bar wouldn't move as if I'd completely missed. To make things even worse, the first time I finally defeated him, the game bugged out. I spent what felt like forever trying to find the one specific position that would actually trigger the execution animation. It's honestly so disappointing that such an amazing remake ends on such a frustrating note. Despite all of that, I still think this is a great remake and absolutely worth playing. But the final boss almost managed to sour an otherwise fantastic experience. I really hope the developers address these issues, because the ending deserves to be as polished as the rest of the game.
Это просто absolute cinema, я был прям в восторге. Графика шикарна, несмотря на опасения от ужасного unreal engine, игра не сжигает мой комп, даже в очень загруженных местах фпс хороший, в отличие от некоторых (это я сейчас в сторону ремастера обливиона подмигиваю, где у скинграда у меня 8 фпс было, лол). Для меня был единственным минусом взлом, поскольку это головоломка, а к головоломке на каждом замке в готике я был морально не готов, поэтому просто установил мод на отсутствие взлома и кайфанул. Боёвка мне весьма понравилась, хоть и после оригинала очень непривычно, но я проходил за мага, и магия очень красива, правда баланс у магии кривоватый, поскльку с руной второго круга можно почти до финала пройти, а где-то наоборот будет неоправданно сложно, ибо заклинания не будут справляться. Диалоговая система из оригинала, это самый правильный вариант, русская озвучка шикарна, слушал и наслаждался. А, ну и я забыл сказать, что оптимизация хорошая, но графика это просто пик, иногда я просто прогуливался по миру и смотрел вокруг, настолько красиво вокруг. В целом я от ремейка в восторге, это именно то, какими на мой взгляд должны быть ремейки: современный движок, хорошая графика, оптимизация, а сам мир в целом тот же, но в куче отдельных моментов очень аккуратно расширен, где-то какая-то мелочь поменялась, многие сюжетные моменты в сравнении с оригиналом стали объяснены и обоснованы, такую игру я могу смело рекомендовать и прям жду ремейка второй части P.s. Не смотрите, что у меня на момент написания 22 часа в игре, на деле там уже под сотню, но из-за установки мода на взлом игру нужно было запускать через другой лаунчер, поэтому время не засчитывалось, а так ремейк стоит всех этих часов
Yummy as hell Hardcore fan satisfied
Extremely excited for a new Gothic installment! Fantastic visuals, voice acting and music. Game feels really atmospheric and the setting feels believable. Some rough edges on release, mainly around main character sound bugs, but other than that - game runs smoothly. Really great to see improvements in inventory, journal, map, characters, etc. I'll report back, once I play more of the game.
