What players say
its a fun 7/10 game. it has a cooler premise than gothic 2 imo and the idea of starting very weak and building up to become extremely powerful is still there. it feels a bit bloated with a bunch of side quests being very similar, exploration is kind of meh, its way worse to find where you need to go for a quest compared to gothic 1 and 2 because npcs will give you a general direction from their location and nothing...

Finally managed to run the game without lags after 20 years! Of course needed to install mods. Gothic 3 wasnt a proper successor. They changed the formula here. G1/2 has smaller world, where you were pretty restricted from beginning. You also started as a zero from scratch, barely able to kill a fly. Here, the first thing you do is fighting orcs. You can go whenever you want from beginning. Piranha bytes wanted to...
Saya rasa ini game paling bagus dalam sejarah hidupku hahaha, apalagi sekarang keluar gothic 1 remake, pengin beli tpi anggaran dipusatkan untuk belanja kehidupan sehari hari. nunggu diskonya saja deh.
