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 …

So many bugs that it brings a tear to the eye for the original. A nostalgic experience, 10/10.
От готики испытал детский восторг Игра заставляет вслушиваться в диалоги и продумывать каждый шаг, жёстко наказывает за ошибки и требует внимательности не ведя тебя за ручку Сложно, визуально балдёжно и детализировано на современный лад От видов Нового и Болотного лагерей захватывает дух, а в лесах по-настоящему можно заблудиться. Очень глубокое атмосферное и максимально дофаминовое творение.. закрывая глаза на все шероховатости на релизе Ремейк, мимо которого нельзя пройти. Взахлёб 10/10
Hatte echt gedacht das Spiel wäre gut durch den vielen positiven Rezensionen, leider scheinen dies alle nur Nostalgie Fans zu sein, weil dieses Spiel hat auf keinen Fall eine positive Bewertung verdient. Zum einen ist dieses Spiel einfach Dark Souls auf Crack, also ich weiß nicht warum es keinen Begriff wie souls like für Gothic gibt, weil die Souls Spiele im Vergleich hierzu wirklich ein Kindergeburtstag ist den man mit verbundenen Augen leichter spielen kann als dieses Spiel, zumindest am Anfang. Einfach jeder Gegner kann dich 1-2 shotten und du hast kein Tränke, Kampfsystem wird nicht erklärt und wenndu nur eine Sekunde zu spät bist in deinem ohnehin perfekten play (du darfst dich halt nicht treffen lassen während jeder Gegner so ca 8 hits braucht) kann es sein das du sofort tot bist da dein Gegner nach seiner Aktion auch schnell in den nächsten schlag kommt und dann ist vorbei. Aber okay dieser dumme und wirklich 0 spaßige Schwierigkeitsgrad ist nicht der Grund der schlechten Bewertung sondern die unzähligen Bugs die dann rein hitten. Audio bugs hast du sowieso immer nach einer Stunde spielen, also das ist Standard. Aber dann glitcht auch einfach die Ki jedes Mal, sodass ich in einem Arena Kampf zum Beispiel random von allen angegriffen werde und wenn ich dann ne Minute perfekt gespielt habe ohne getroffen zu werden meinen Gegner fast besiegt habe ich einfach random von hinten von 10 Leuten geonehittet werde. 0 zu empfehlen und wer das positiv bewertet hat eine rosa rote Brille auf. Lieber auf fixes abwarten und wenn das wieder typische Entwickler sind die nur ihr Geld zählen und auf ihr Spiel nach release scheißen dann kauft mit dem Geld lieber ein anderes Spiel oder wartet bis es 20€ oder weniger kostet. Absoluter Müll aktuell.
I've played OG game like dozen times and every time I find somehting new. I'm happy to do it with the remake as well
Sehr zu empfehlen für alle Gothic-Fans. Der Nostalgie-Faktor ist immens. Die Atmosphäre konnte im Kern sehr gut erhalten und noch ausgebaut werden, sodass die Spannung in bestimmten Situationen und Gebieten durch begleitende Musik sichtlich ansteigt. Die Story wurde genau an den richtigen Stellen ergänzt und erweitert. Leider gibt es keine lagerspezifischen Story-Stränge, sodass man es für den Verlauf und auch den Ausgang relativ egal ist welchem Lager man sich anschließt. Umfangreichere lagerspezifische Nebenquests wären noch wünschenswert gewesen. Ansonsten hat mir das abwechslungsreiche Kapitel 4 am Besten gefallen! Viel Spaß euch!
Honestly, I never heard of this game prior to the remake but im so glad i decided to play it. Its a really fun and engaging game with a really good story, factions and NPCs. I hope they remake the rest of the series.
great game
If anybody told me a few years ago that Gothic would be getting a remaster, I would have told you that It's just a delusional digger from the old WorldofGothic forums. But here we are in 2026 back in the colony...... and it's soooo good. The game is good, A few bugs here and there but nothing that can't be fixed. It's very faitful to the original but still adds a few new things and tons of improvements. It's a miracle that Alkimia found a good balance considering a good portion of the original fanbase was screaming at every minor change. As it is, the game is an 8/10. Fix the bugs and it's a 10. It's so faithful to the original one that you don't even get a cutscene of the barrier falling at the end. Oh well, Im sure Gothic 2 Remake is already being discussed. Can't wait.
I was very skeptical about Gothic Remake after playing the demo released by the developers. At that time, I honestly thought the game had no chance of succeeding. The atmosphere didn’t feel right, and the combat system was not what I expected. However, after starting the full game and spending several hours in the new Colony, my opinion completely changed. I really started to enjoy the world and the direction the developers took. I like that there are new areas to explore, new mechanics to discover, and new elements that expand the original experience instead of simply copying it. The combat system, while still simple, has been improved with additional attacks and more variety, which makes fights more interesting and engaging. Many of the mechanics and quests have also been reworked and, in my opinion, improved compared to the original game. Gothic Remake surprised me in a very positive way. I can definitely recommend it to both longtime fans and new players who want to experience the Colony in a refreshed form.
