Gothic II: Gold Edition

Volle Pfund aufs Maul

Enjoyable.

Simply the greatest story-driven RPG of its time. The graphics may be outdated and simple, but they remain crisp and functional, while the wonderful melodic soundtrack creates at least 30% of the game’s atmosphere. The combat system is probably the most controversial aspect of the game and a trademark of Piranha Bytes titles. In Gothic 2, however, combat is simply functional — nothing more, nothing less. You have parries, backsteps, and sidesteps; there’s no need for flashy mechanics. In most situations, the environment becomes your best ally, since the enemy AI is fairly basic and often charges in a straight line, getting stuck or falling into holes. Hey, it still counts! Once you get swarmed by more than two enemies, though, everything quickly turns chaotic, and suddenly you are grateful for a random branch sticking out of the ground that helps you hold off a pack of wolves. After finishing the game at least 20 times over the past two decades, I can confidently say I will always come back for more. The sense of brotherhood between the main character and his friends, the different faction paths, and the incredible community mods make this a truly unique experience that I deeply cherish.

великая серия, погружение гарантированно
