Title
Massively overlooked hardcore RPG. Much akin to Pirahna Bytes' other titles this is about as good as it gets in terms of a world that truly sets you up as a smalltime individual in a far larger picture. Genuine and meaningful freedom in terms of player choice and consequences- you can be captured and converted to a militant religious faction pretty much out the gate, and there are several different sides to pick from with their own genuinely unique take on the story.

Combat is also fuckin' HARD to start with, and progressing and overcoming those challenges feels genuinely meaningful. The intimidating nature of the outdoors lends itself to making your peaceful breaks in civilization/friendly camps all the more meaningful. Lots of excellent side quests to follow particularly in the main city.

Altogether this is a serious winner for those looking for a punishing-yet-rewarding role-playing experience.

      Yup. This game is great, especially if you're already used to the Gothic system.

    combat feels worse than gothic 1 despite also feeling less clunky. last actually good game theyve made (elex is great too but it's also pretty shit). post-gothic 2 piranha bytes is a pretty confusing mess but i love them nonetheless.

      my least favorite part is herb hunting. the simpler environments made finding all them herbs on gothic not suck that much.
      really weird that this game has a sub 3.3 rating.
