  Gothic II is a gigantic game in a small world. The trick that the devs pulled to make the game seem so enormous was to make use of absolutely every nook and cranny on the map. Most of these places aren't even relevant to the main story; you can plow through the game several times over and still stumble across something new hidden in an easily missed gap between rocks or behind a waterfall at the bottom of a deep valley. Since the game doesn't throw powerful items or experience at you like lots of the loot-fest RPGs out there, the (usually) small rewards secreted away across the island are always satisfying to discover. This and the fact that the game is largely loading screen- and objective marker-free makes the whole world feel alive and supremely explorable. Just be careful; the game will hold your hand for a grand total of five seconds before booting you into a world where all of the local fauna have it out for you and will absolutely WRECK you if you aren't familiar with the somewhat clunky combat system. It gets easier later on but the challenge is always there. Don't be scared though; the danger just makes exploring that much more rewarding.

  Gothic II. What a great, rewarding and exciting game. After a series of events, you break out of the colony with friends you made there. Freedom, right? No. You weren't the only one to break out. Most bandits got out too and started to rob and murder innocent citizens of Khorinis. People see you as a nobody yet again, but slowly you gain respect and eventually become a respected man across the island, saving Khorinis from an evil force that's about to struck it. Gameplay is improved in many ways over the first game: controls don't feel stiff, quests have more variety and combat is fun and never gets old. For some reason a lot of people complain about the combat, but I find it straightforward and intuitive: you hold LMB and use WASD to swing your weapons in different directions, no button mashing involved. You can join different factions: Paladins, Mercenaries and Mages. All of them are very different and have a lot of faction-related quests, so it's worth it to beat the game multiple times. You visit a lot of places in the game: the main island of Khorinis, the colony from the first game (which is now abandoned, grey and full of orcs at every step that'll murder you in mere seconds), swampy Jarkendar from the expansion and some other minor ones. All of these locations feel unique and you'll quickly memorize their layout. The immersion factor is strong. Enemies don't scale with you (which means you can level up and kick their butt later), NPCs have their own chores, the scenery is beautiful. You can spend a hundred of hours wandering around and finding cool quests and secrets. Gothic II is my favourite RPG and I finished it many times. It's the experience I will never forget.

  What to say... It's Gothic, every polish kid, his parents and grandparents have to play this clunky ass piece of wood as rite of passage before getting polish citizenship. Buggy, clunky mess combined with probably best worldbuilding out there. Game does not follow your typical "Hero's Journey", at least not as much. Simillar to first Gothic, you are weak, everyone is hostile and everything can kick your ass. You will not encounter invinsible barriers, monsters are you barriers, your progression depends on how strong enemy you can defeat. There is no retarded Skyrim leveling system, if you get stronger you can kill wolf, you will not meet demonic alpha wolf lvl 90 seconds later. If anybody want's to call him/herself gamer or rpg fan, this is your gamer certificate. Most satisfying progression system up to this day.

  Don't look at my play time. I bought the game just so I can write a review. What? Yep.. I did. For the last 12 years I played Gothic franchise. Every winter, when the weather goes bad outside, I have to follow my tradition of playing one of the Gothic games. For 12 years... If you read this far and you never played this game but you call yourself a RPG fan, then do yourself a favor and buy it! Buy it and play it for at least 1 hour. This is how long it will take you to get used to the controls and to the open-world-no-hand-holding ideology. If I could wrap up the review in some simple words, they would be: Gothic = immersion. This is a common scene that you will find in Gothic 2: Heavy grey sky, raining. It's night and you see the soldiers gathering around a camp fire and chat. One of them even starts roasting the carcass of a hunted animal over the fire, preparing the dinner. The merchants sit down in front of big water pipes and relax, smoking different types of weeds. An owl can be heard in the forest close to the camp while through the trees, you can see some Scavangers going to sleep for the night. You decide to also sit on a log and enjoy some socialization time after all the fighting and hunting done over the day. Pros: - solid story with deep lore, a mix between religion, mysticism and politics. - unprecedented AI behavior! Seriously, this franchise is 16 years old but even today the Ai scripting, behavior and combat is unmatched in any other RPG. Sure some other games excel in certain segments of AI implementation, but overall, you wont see a more vivid and realistic AI. - a true open world. If you see something in the distance, you will most likely be able to reach and explore it. There are many level designers that can provide good content with a large world, but only geniuses can make every inch of a small world filled with content. - your actions matter. Stealing from someones house or chest? Bad idea. Beating up some important NPC that has many friends and connections? Really bad idea. Betraying a whole faction and be responsible for their deaths? Awesome! - a very natural and diverse quest system. Make friends, make enemies, steal, hijack, frame some or prove the innocence of others in order to unlock more quests. - choose your path. This is not Skyrim or Mass Effect. Once you chosen a faction, there is no turning back! Playing each faction it's basically a separate playthrough. This is how much the game changes depending on the path taken! - absolutely beautiful soundtrack, realistic nature sounds and good voice over. Cons: - somewhat awkward control scheme, but it's consistent! Once you learn to handle it, the controls feel smooth. - outdated graphics. D'oh! 16 years old engine. - almost no hand holding. No flashing quest marks over NPC heads, no minimap, no pointers all over the screen (probably this is also a reason why the game is so immersive... nothing to distract you from the actual game) - high difficulty in combat, but not unfair! - access violation error for some systems, that can be easily solved by running the game in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode + Administrator rights. By today standards the game is 7 / 10. But, by taking a look at the game industry today... this game is a 10/10 from head to toes. This is a rough gem that deserves a chance to be discovered. Piranha Bytes, thank you for creating Gothic series. With all my heart, thank you!
