  Overall, Gothic is a solid role-playing experience. Gothic has decent graphics and a well-developed storyline. It also has a great amount of replayability, as each time through the game could yield different experiences with different choices. The awkward interface does not detract from the overall enjoyment of the game. This game would please any role-playing fans looking for a great story to involve them for some time.

  If you can actually get past all of the game's problems and can also appreciate its strengths, you may well enjoy Gothic. Its action sequences are weak, and its role-playing elements are straightforward--you gain experience points either by performing quests or fighting enemies and eventually gain levels that yield skill points.

  Tired of RPGs were you become the chosen one after the intro? Then check out Gothic. This cult classic gem by Piranha Bytes might not be the most polished one, and its purposely "hardcore" mind-set might not be for everyone (especially if spoiled by modern representatives of the genre), but few titles can claim to be as immersive as this is.

  Gothic fasziniert von der ersten Minute an, und langsam aber sicher wird Euch der Gameplaystrudel immer tiefer in das Lagerleben entführen: Dichte Atmosphäre, große Handlungsfreiheit und sehr gute Queststruktur machen Gothic zu einem Ausnahmespiel, das weltweit neue Maßstäbe in Sachen Rollenspiel setzt.
