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 …

You´ve done a great job with this game! Really. You nailed this unique Gothic-feeling in this remake! I really enjoy the great landscapes, exploring the world (for me it has a perfekt size) and the ability to play this great game in a remake like 25 years (holy moly, I´m old) ago. So yes, there are bug (i have the sleeping bug and the re-gen bug, pathfinding AI isnt so good) and sometimes it seems a little but clunky. But hell, this was Gothic 1 25 years ago, too :D So i really enjoy this great game and hope there will be a Gothic 2 and Gothic 3 remaster! I love both!
Thank god Alkimia listened to the fans and didn't ship what we saw in the Gothic playable teaser. Glad they went with staying faithful to the original instead of reinventing it — they just expanded on some ideas that were already there in Piranha Bytes' original concept. The game is insanely buggy, and there are a few changes I think are worse than how the classic did it, but I'm still having a blast with it. Gothic has massive replayability, you just want to jump back in after finishing it and grind your character to the max. That kind of real character progression is something you cannot find in modern cRPGs anymore. No enemy scaling, you actually feel your character getting stronger — progression actually means something here. We need more games like Gothic
игра супер
nach knapp 60 stunden ist mein erstes mal durchspielen vorüber und was soll ich sagen, es ist ein gelungenes Meisterwerk. im ersten und zweiten Kapitel hatte ich die meiste zeit verbracht, einerseits weil ich die neu aufgearbeitete Welt erkunden wollte, anderseits weil ich bei jedem Treffer gestorben bin xD. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad ist Gothic like, am Anfang wird kein Fehler verziehen jede unüberlegte Entscheidung bedeutet das ende und es wird einem nichts groß erklärt dies ist weiter nicht schlimm ich mag diese alte Herausforderung dennoch war es ab und an echt frustrierend wenn man am ein und den selben scavanger immer wieder verendet. im laufe der zeit wird man immer stärker und man kann mal einen Treffer einstecken was einen doch ein gutes Gefühl gibt. über die Story gibt es nicht viel zu sagen da ich finde es sollte jeder selbst erleben aber, sie haben es vom original sehr gut übernommen und ergänzt. die Spiel Welt ist super lebendig und wirklich schön umgesetzt, auch die Mechanik ist gelungen. einziges Manko bei der Steuerung wenn man mit dingen oder Inventaren interagiert hat und direkt nach dem schließen weiterlaufen will hängt der Charakter was in einem Kampf ein deutlicher Nachteil ist, man muss warten bis die Animation vom schließen fertig ist dann kann man normal weiterlaufen. Bugs gibt es zwar auch aber diese sind nicht schlimm, einen hatte ich direkt am Anfang bei der Tausch Station, beim klettern über Kisten an der wand bin ich durch die map geglitcht und erstmal ne Minute gefallen. ein weiterer ist mir beim Sumpf Lager begegnet bei einer Konversation mit melvin da ging das Gespräch nicht weiter und man musste neu starten. dies ist inzwischen behoben. Gespielt habe ich auf maximalen Einstellungen (alkimia overdose) mit dlss 4.5 und frame gen x2 hatte dadurch im schnitt 100 fps unter 70 fps ist es nie gefallen. es gab zwar Artefakte Beispiel beim höhlen eintritt im neuen Lager ein Raster bis sich das Bild komplett aufgelöst hat, es sah nicht kacke aus aber hat ein bisschen die Immersion gestört. und naja nach 13 stunden am stück zocken gab es auch mal eine Libelle die hinter sich ne bahn gezogen hat also auch weiter nicht schlimm, es sah in 99% der fälle einfach nur mega geil aus und lief absolut flüssig. Das Remake ist ein absolut gelungenes meisterwerk und hat mich in meine kindheit zurück gebracht als ich an meinem bruder seinem computer spielen durfte. nur mit moderner grafik und haptik ich habe mich wieder erneut verliebt in die welt von Gothic. eine bitte habe ich an die Entwickler, bitte macht ein Remake von teil 2 ihr habt das wirklich wunderbar umgesetzt es sieht fantastisch aus und lässt sich sehr gut spielen.
Nach aktuellem Patch alles super gefixt und absolut spielbar nostalgie pur und macht richtig bock zu zocken 11 von 10 super
Das tut mir zwar schon etwas weh, aber ein Spiel, was ich nicht beenden kann, bekommt von mir keine gute Bewertung. Und ich meine hiermit den finalen Bossfight und die recht vielen Game breaking Bugs (V1.0.3). Etliche Quests die ich nicht abschließen kann, meistens aus dem Grund, dass ich die Quests nicht in haargenau der Reihenfolge gemacht habe, wie es Alkimia vorgesehen hat. Damit hätte ich ja noch leben können, aber der letzte Kampf hat den Vogel abgeschossen. Eigentlich liebe ich schwere Bossfights die man immer und immer wieder versuchen muss, bis man es endlich raus hat, Soulslike halt. Aber das hier, ähhh das ist Schikane. Sehr sehr schade, denn ich hatte mit dem Game und dem neuen Content, vor allem der Erkundung der Welt gegenüber dem OG echt meinen Spaß. Alkimia kümmert euch!
Gothic 1 Remake recreates the atmosphere of the prison colony from the original Gothic very well. The graphics are very good, and many locations have been recreated with great attention to detail. You can see that the developers tried to faithfully recreate the world of this classic game, but in my opinion, they did not succeed in every aspect. The biggest problem is the quest-related bugs. Even more than two months after release, the game still has bugs that block further story progression. I personally encountered a situation where I could not continue the main quest because a critical story quest bugged out. The most common advice is to load an earlier save, but if you are playing on Permadeath, this is completely impossible. A bug like this can waste many hours of gameplay. Some changes compared to the original game also seem strange. For example, Xardas does not teach the 5th Circle of Magic, but he can teach the 6th Circle. There is no logical reason for this because without the 5th Circle you are blocked from using many powerful runes and spells. In the original Gothic, Xardas taught every Circle of Magic, so this change feels stupid. I also had the impression that the game sometimes forces you to complete quests in a very specific order. In practice, it feels like you have to accept one quest and finish it before taking another one. Otherwise, there is a risk of triggering a bug that blocks further progress. This should not happen in an RPG that is supposed to let the player explore freely and complete multiple quests at the same time. Pros: -Great recreation of the prison colony atmosphere. -Very good graphics and a modern presentation of the world. -Large locations that keep the feeling of the original game. Cons -Very long wait for the game's release. -Poor optimization and very limited graphics settings for players with weaker hardware. -Quest bugs that can block the main story. -Quest bugs can completely ruin a playthrough, especially in Permadeath mode. -Some changes compared to the original game feel illogical (for example, Xardas and the Magic Circles). -The game sometimes feels like quests must be completed in a strict order to avoid bugs. -Too few fixes for the most serious bugs more than two months after release. It feels like more time was spent on Easter eggs than on making sure the game worked properly. These are only my personal thoughts after finishing the game. I appreciate the amount of work that went into recreating the world of Gothic, and I think the remake looks very good in terms of graphics and atmosphere. Unfortunately, the many bugs and questionable gameplay changes made my experience much worse than I expected. At this point, I do not feel motivated to play Gothic 2 Remake. If I decide to return to the Gothic series, I will most likely play the timeless original Gothic II: Night of the Raven instead. Best regards.
отличная игра, вайб оригинала в новой обертке олдскул в чистом виде такие игры выходят не часто и надо хватать такое как горячие пирожки
Во-первых, игра 10/10. Это не просто та самая Готика, это "издание исправленное и дополненное" Все дифирамбы игре уже спеты, поэтому накидаю замечаний, вдруг разрабы учтут в ремейке второй части: 1. Система отмычек - не пнул только ленивый. Я не представляю человека, который посмотрел на это и сказал - во, то что нужно, пускаем в релиз. И потом - почему в игре ВСЕ СУНДУКИ заперты? Ладно сундуки с жирным лутом, но когда за т4 замком лежит пара картофелин - это абсурд. 2. Зачем на высокой сложности резать опыт? Это просто серпом по самому ценному любого игрока в РПГ. Я люблю челленж и сложных противников, но терпеть при этом штрафы к прокачке - за гранью. 3. С магией надо что-то решать. Я не пойму, это не ММОРПГ, в чем проблема сделать нормальные сильные спеллы, как в оригинале? Сейчас неприемлемо все - урон, время произнесения, иммунитеты у противников. В финале игры за мага играть вообще практически невозможно, завершать прохождение можно только свитками-сумонами.
