Review Gothic 1 Remake

Absolute guarantee of nostalgia
Beautifully designed graphics with love
Modernized combat system, significantly better and smoother.

Atmospheric soundtrack
An excellent new glossary system in the menu replaces the lack of "getting started".

Small issues with AI and animations

Brutal difficulty even on lower settings that immerse you in the game?s rules/environment
Expanded elements in the story and various quest content
Refined combat that?s more fluid than its predecessor
Meaningful progression and no hand holding

Very immersive gaming experience

The quests and main plot can be approached in different ways.

Four levels of difficulty (plus other customization options)
Unlimited manual backup
The automatic backup function protects (limits) against a more significant loss of progress.
New organized combat system that clearly surpasses the old one...
Many comfort improvements (including the ability to cook multiple pieces of meat at the same time)
Large game world significantly expanded with new NPCs, quests, and completely new areas (for example, an abandoned mine)
