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 …

Still one of the best games ever made and Alkimia absolutely nailed this remake. Can we have Gothic 2 next please?
Played the original 3 when they released. This nails the same oppressive atmosphere and unforgiving combat. No hand holding just the same brutal world. If you enjoyed the originals this is worth picking up. Hoping for Gothic 2 remake.
Habe bisher noch NIE ein Review gemacht, aber hier mache ich eine Ausnahme! Gothic ist meine Jugend gewesen und dieses Remake hat es soooo dermaßen auf den Punkt getroffen, dass ich es absolut empfehlen kann (wenn man Gothic mag!). Probleme sind natürlich da, aber ey, es ist Gothic :D natürlich sind Probleme vorhanden! Nach nun knapp 90+h und gerade in Kapitel 4, bin ich dermaßen vom Game begeistert. Es läuft echt gut!
Nostalgia
I finished the game on Gothic difficulty as a necromancer, just like I did when I first played it sometime in the early 2000s, and it was absolutely fantastic. Screw the bugs—they will fix them over time ( or is this part of the meatbug conspiracy?) . I cannot wait to see what the modding community creates, because this game is already awesome but still has so much potential to become even bigger, deeper, and more epic, which is honestly crazy. I have absolutely no idea how anyone beats this game on permadeath, but I am definitely going to try.

Назвать местный взлом замков «душнейший ад говна» - это его похвалить. 25 лет тому назад взлом в оригинале меня, тогда ещё десятилетнего 3.14здюка, не так душил, как это не-пойми-что. Самое странное кроется в его «балансе». Вот я с перком 1го уровня («обучен») взламываю сундук 4й сложности за 30 секунд, а следующий сундук 3й сложности не удается вскрыть за час с хреном из-за его всратого и абсолютно контр-интуитивного паттерна.
As a massive fan of the 2001 original, I was skeptical about how a remake would handle the unique magic of Gothic. I am so incredibly happy to be proven wrong. This remake is a masterclass in how to update a classic. The developers kept the brutal, no-hand-holding philosophy that made the original great, while entirely modernizing the combat system so it feels fluid yet tactical. The visual overhaul of the Barrier, the camps, and the monsters is stunning, and the sound design perfectly captures that old-school nostalgia. You can truly tell this was made by fans, for fans. Thank you, developers, for treating this masterpiece with the respect it deserves!
Bugs sind mir persönlich noch nicht aufgefallen. Das Spiel ist in viel besserem Zustand als damals Gothic 1. Ich liebe die Atmosphäre, die Story, die Grafik und das Minental. Eine Zeitreise zum Verlieben! Absolute Empfehlung!!
Slugging combat, punishing difficulty, lack of clarity on how to progress.
