    Finally, this game deserves the highest score I can give. The things that really matter are here. For those who enjoy this type of RPG, this game offers an experience you shouldn't pass up.
  2. PC Gameworld

    This game will change what you think about RPGs. The immense world provides hours of gameplay and there are enough different paths to take that the game could be won in any way you want.
  3. Next Level Gaming
    86
    The storyline, while cliché, has some interesting twists, and the progression of the narrative through the chapters, and increased sense of doom that occurs midway through the game as you face a orc horde backed by dragons leads to some interesting moments.

    If you can ignore the acting or enjoy it for camp, the rest of Gothic II is an incredible experience.
  5. PC Format

    Provided you have the necessary levels of patience, Gothic 2 inexorably draws you in. It’s resolutely old-fashioned without being tired, and credits you with, gasp, some intelligence instead of handing over every little thing on a plate. Now if just one single MMORPG could be this good.

    The world feels less generic and more immersive than even "Morrowind's." [Feb 2004, p.88]

    With character models that look like they crawled off the Dreamcast, muddy textures and minor but frequent collision issues, this is not exactly a pretty game. [Jan 2004, p.70]

It happened to be one of the first games which I ever played, nearly 8-10 years ago, helping me with a lot of improvements in my english skills. At that time, it used to be an era in which the graphic didn't matter too much, not noticing actually how it could have been evolved nowadays, but, it has a nice gameplay and an incredibly storyline. I played the whole series, Gothic 3, being the only one which I didn't finish, but, Gothic 2, the classic, and NOTR addon, are the best of them.… Expand
