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 …

I wish all the other classic games a remake as good and as faithful as Gothic Remake. Loved almost every second of it. This game reminded me what I fell in love with 20 years ago. I appreciate so much that we got full Polish dubbing with many of the original voices. During the playthrough I could feel that it is the same old world, while expanded where it was lacking in the original version, and what's more - developers added something new while being faithful to the original climate. The soundtrack deserves it's own mention - Kai Rosenkranz did it again and created something close to masterpiece. I didn't have any problems with smoothness in this game, but I definitely needed to use the dynamic Frame Generation to be able to play in 4k 144 fps. In general it worked fine, but there were moments where the artifacts were more visible - when the light or torches were moving around, or when I was fighting in strange light (for example the New Camp). Nonetheless it is a small price to pay for such a beautiful scenery and graphics. Definitely loved this part. I also appreciate the introduction of actual bosses - especially Crawlers Queen. The fights with Demon Princes in Sleeper's Temple were good as hell. I liked the new systems - climbing and new chest opening minigame. The magic felt epic as well. That's for the good words. But some things need to be said. This game is definitely still rough over the edges. People who didn't play the old version may have trouble getting into this world as it is not really typical modern RPG. I don't even want to mention amount of little bugs with audio or NPC behavior in different scenes, because the list would go for too long. This and as well as one very annoying bug with miners following me since Thorus' quest till the Sleeper's Temple. So as in the original version, the game still has a lot of potential to uncover, if just the developer would be given enough time. Maybe a modding community will partially solve this issue in the future. What's more, I don't understand some design decisions. The weapons that we find by chance in caves or ruins are never better than what we could buy from the merchants. For the same reason smithing skill makes no sense at all - there was never a good moment to actually invest in it (btw who thought that it would be a good idea to not show the stats of the item on the recipe before crafting?). So in general. Is this game perfect? Definitely not. Will modern gamer fall in love in this game? It is definitely possible, but it is not a game for everyone. Is this game rough over the edges and the player will encounter smaller or bigger bugs? Unfortunately, yes. BUT! Do i regret playing this game? Not at all. For me personally this is the original version which got a level up in every aspect. And that's what I want to thank the developers for - for creating a game which reintroduced this feeling that I had when I was a kid and I explored the Colony for the very first time. The developers had a whole lot of good ideas which were introduced in the game in a better or worse way, but in general they did a great job that creating this Remake. Thank you devs <3
Very good
powrót do kolonii mimo, że momentami bolesny, to sprawia tyle radości, że nie mogę się doczekać G2 Remake !
Рімейк на рівні Капком - сильно переробили, але з повгою до оригіналу і з суперовими рішенням під сучасного геймера.
Fajna gra
Gothic 1/2/3 i teraz REMAKE, PRZE KOTY jesli ktos lubi takie klimaty
Good old Gothic.
It's good, clunky but good, they kept in the ability to lock yourself out of the new camp though, which is an odd design choice seeing as some of the quests are completely reworked. Make sure you stack up on healing potions after chapter 1, as there a lot of noob traps in the mines and some quests are just padding for time, having you running across the entire map to deliver items, or past extremely deadly enemies that you simply cannot face yet due to the built in strength limitations, although that's an issue across all chapters. Something I really like about the game is that because everyone except the mages are convicts, you can just beat up, and kill mostly anyone, with no repercussions, as long as you're sneaky about it. I also like how the only place with actual "guards" (Old Camp Mafia) are the worst at guarding their own people in the game, and actually prefer to steal what little they can get out of their slaves, a subtle and hilarious critique on Authoritarianism, glad to say you can also end them too. Genocide speedruns will be funny to watch.
