    It seems there is a troll lobby on metacritic that rates down all gothic games, probably hired by bio-ware hehe. Isn't it suspicious nobody who rated negative had actually write a review? This game deseves 10, just look at the actual reviews, everyone will tell you its a masterpiece.

    I'm no elitist or fanboy, but the 5.7 this gets together with my experience with rpg games gives me the conclusion that this is truly the best rpg I have ever played... And I didn't even finish it yet.

    The mysticism and soul this game has is not appreciated it seems...

    Let me put it like this...

    People that were obsessed with fantasy themes and imagination and had a heart filled with longing for occult dungeons etcetera, who also loved games like warhammmer, magic the gathering, advanced dnd...

    These people will love this game...

    People that play rpg's casually and want to feel heroic from the get go with big flashes will play the generic rpg's...

    It's 2011 and I am grateful I discovered this gem... Because I'd say, I'm a fantasy nerd in the style of advanced dnd, magic the gathering (10+ years ago, don't know how it is now.) and sitting in caves playing fantasy games all day long, forgetting about school...

    Ofcourse we are all fanboys and we all say this... But Gothic 1 is the only game that really gave me that occult feeling of mysticism some get from Lord of the Rings, etcetera...

    Unexplainable... But the 5.7 explains a lot...

    Get this game above all other video games if you are the DnD type of player...

    This game is maybe a 7.0 polish/graphic wise...
    But you will forget all of this when you are trying to decide which camp to join...

    I would also suggest playing this in 640x480.. Because it adds to the mysterious setting to play it in a cloudy resolution, in my opinion...

Even the omnipresent bugs have become an integral part of the gameplay, thus, along with the game, acquiring almost a cult status. What is most important - that game has an unforgettable atmosphere, beating down many other rpgs. Unfortunately, this all this cannot be appreciated by this increasing group of shallow consumers, for whom the epitomes of RPGishness are dragon age games, almost linear slashers, and mass effects - very good rpg-based shooters.

    One of best game I ever played! The control is absolutely OK, I didn't have any problem with it. Gothic is not easy game but it worth your time. After some hours player still can't kill boars for example so it can be frustrating if you came from other game such as elder scrolls. But after some time you will be stronger and you will know every corner of the world and lot of great game characters.

Overall :compact full of content world , enjoyable characters, nice smooth combat , no limit for inventory , great atmospheric feeling , quest journal that actually helps or at times atleast is fun , very awesome epic music , freedom of class (bows, magic , melee you can do it all pretty much).

    For the time it came out, Gothic was a revelation. Nothing came even close to the story, immersion and combat of it. I spent some sleepless nights with Gothic and also love Gothic 2. These are the games which modern work like Witcher 1&2 are inspired by. Rating: plain 10.

    An excellent RPG. I played the 2nd game first, but find the 1st game nearly as good.
    Interestingly there seems to be the same strange situation with the user-scores as with Gothic 2 (44 negative reviews and only 1 written one - for both games).

    - great german voice actors (it's unique)
    - manually designed world, not like a TES
    - best athmosphere i have ever seen, the graphic and the rough world of bandits - unique!
    - great story - from zero to hero, not from hero to god :)
    - specific controls - of course, not for casuals :D

You can learn a lot of interesting magic spells from firebolt, shapeshift, telekinesis to one that allows you to control someone's body. The only flaws of the game are controls and maybe lack of side-quests in some of the chapters.

And all those reviews without writing anything i know how they did that.. on summary page you can rate game without writing anything.. not a single word.. but enough of that my moaning won't change anything I'm here to tell you that they are all WRONG!
    What people here are writing is incredible and i don't give a damn I'll quote:
    "Very dated when played today./.../ ...but since the mouse look/feel is nowhere near the norm it put me off. My rating is based on 2012/.../ 5/10 first of all you rating a game from 2001 as game from 2012 then you kind sir are mental! I personally like controls they make me immersed into game even more... like i need to hold LMB in order to pick something up- isn't it like using your hand?
    "I spent about an hour and a half on this and gave up. The nonsensical control scheme and awkwardness of movement are absolutely game breaking. I heard it's supposed to have some good qualities, but I couldn't even get to them." it's not my damn fault that you're not patient. Controls are great to me a real change to all usual control mapping...
    Imagine this they are moaning about COMBAT! I won't say 100% but at least 90% of REAL Gothic lovers love combat because it's not simple (EoS kinda) "Smashing LMB" all the time here you need to use WSAD in order to attack of dodge attacks in different directions (Isn't that ingenious?!)
    "Game's too hard" maybe because it's not EoS and because you need to improve both yours and your character's abilities in order to achieve something!
    "Game's too slow paced" oh, really!? and you'd like to get right up to fight like "From Hero to God" and not "From Zero to Hero" and you'd like to be able to kill anything on lvl one and to make it easier by developing you character! Oh then you've tried to play wrong game, go any have fun with your EoS and leave Gothic series to real hardcore gamers!
    It's not that much of a review because my fellow Gothic lovers already said it all, I'm just here to defend my all time favorite game series! and a vital part of my childhood!
    Take care fellow Gothic lovers and enjoy Gothic games even more (if possible :P)!

The Gothic series was acclaimed by fans and critics for its story, characters and technical prowess in graphics and small loading times. On the other hand it was famous for a lot of bugs and on day 1 it was a nightmare to play. After some time and many patches the bugs were (mostly) solved. To get an understanding you can read the documentation for the patches. A very long list. I played pretty late so I have not experienced many bugs and I am glad for it. But back to the game. The kingdom of Myrtana is at war with invading orcs. Without weapons made out of magical (infused) ore they would be in great troubles. Because they need as much ore as they can every criminal is convicted to forced labor at the mines. To prevent escaping the king tasked a group of his best mages to created a magic barrier around the mines that kills everyone that left the perimeter (Going in is not harmful). But something goes wrong and the barrier gets a lot bigger and captures the mages too. Additionally the prisoners rebel and kill all the guards. Because the mages can not undo the mistake the king cant send in troops because every man he sends will be trapped inside and he needs everyone to repel the invasion. They made an agreement. The former prisoners will deliver the ore and receive everything they want in exchange. Here starts the story of our nameless hero (Not a joke. It gets a running gag that he gets interrupted each time he wants to tell his name:-). He is thrown into the barrier and wants to escape. The story itself is great and has many twists and some surprises. It has great characters that I still remember years after I played the game like Diego, Gorn, Lester, Xardas, Lee and Lares. There is also a good portion of humor and an in-game concert for the band “In Extremo”. As you gain experience you level up and gain skill points. You can use these to train (increase) your abilities and learn skills like lockpicking, acrobatics or to gut animals. I always used bows as ranged combat is pretty useful against all enemies. Be warned you can explore nearly every part of the map early one. This is often an instant death as even wolfs are dangerous without good armor. There are of cause far more dangerous enemies as wolfs. I like the struggle for better armor, weapons and developing your character. You will feel the improvements making the difference. There are also multiple factions in the game that have branching parts in the story. You must chose one after a certain time. Lets get to the technical side. The graphics were really good for its time but demanding a lot from PCs. The loading times were also short. The soundtrack was good and as mentioned you get an in-game concert. Overall this was a must play for its time after the patches solved all issues. I liked it back then and think it is holding up well for its time. I think also I should warn more modern players. Elders Scrolls has improved the formula and make this game look inferior. Also on day one I would subtract many points for the bugs. I rated it as classic because I had no bugs (Because I waited long enough). Expand

    I love it for the atmosphere made by the world created and music.

    I'm really sorry for the players that will play it for the first time, it will be tough to get used to mechanics and combats. Hopefully, after 2-3 hours, they're going to sink in the dark and helpless atmosphere.

    This game really my biggest favorite. I don't know any other game what could be this good, or better. The sequels (in my opinion) are not as good as this one.

    One of the best rpg games of my childhood. The game immediately tightened me with its indescribable atmosphere of the world of collonia, where you first of all are fighting for your survival and freedom. It's a game with great music, and an exciting story, in one word 10/10.

    You are worhless

    Until, you learn how to gain some ore.
    Gain some respect.
    Gain some skills.

    Yes this game has its issues with controls and little bugs, but hey, there was no "patching" or other stupid thing back then.

    This game has the ultimate character progression that really makes me have strong feelings even after 10 years later writing this review.

    Moim zwyczajem w wakacje zawsze jest powrót do Gothica.Po kupnie gry na STEAM zorientowałem się,że nie ma dubbingu! To jest karygodne! Najlepszy polski dubbing w historii gier komputerowych został zastąpiony słabym i nie klimatycznym angielskim.Wiele negatywnych recenzji składa się z: "Nie ma polskiego dubbingu!". Na necie można znaleźć spolszczenie do wszystkich STEAMOWYCH wydań Gothica,jeśli ktoś chce się dowiedzieć gdzie to zapraszam do znajomych,wyślę linka.
    EDIT: POLSKI DUBBING ZOSTAŁ WPROWADZONY OFICJALNIE DO WSZYSTKICH CZĘŚCI,DZIĘKUUJEEMMYY!!!

    Dobrze spolszczenie mam,ale moim kolejnym problemem jest 20 fps,tak 20fps.Komputer nowy,Battlefieldy,CS,Far Cry i inne gry śmigają płynnie na WYSOKICH,bądz ULTRA detalach,a Gothic 1 20 fps :O coś jest nie w porządku! Na necie znalazłem PATCH który to naprawia,jest OK stałe 75FPS ,ale co z tego? STEAM wtedy nie widzi gry,i poprostu gdy klikniemy GRAJ to STEAM nie nalicza godzin itp. Ale dla Gothica jestem w stanie grać nawet w 20 fps.
    Wersja STEAMOWA wspiera nowe systemy,gram na WIN7 w HD :D

    Przejdźmy do oceny!

    FABUŁA
    Jest bardzo dobra,wciąga.Wcielamy się w Bezimiennego bohatera,który trafia do Kolonii Karnej na wyspie Khorinis.Otacza ją silna bariera,przez którą można przejść tylko raz,potem już może to się zakończyć śmiercią.Wkrótce jednak okazuje się,że bohater to nie tylko zwykły więzień ale wysłannik Boga Innosa.

    ROZGRYWKA
    Poruszamy się po dużym,otwartym świecie,jak na swoje lata robił wrażenie.W świecie można spotkać trzy obozy do jednego z nich musimy dołączyć w trakcie gry.W świecie można spotkać różne stwory,które nie są do nas pozytywnie nastawieni.Dlatego w grze jest duży arsenał broni,pancerzy,i różnego typu amuletów.Broni jest dużo,młoty,mieczem,maczugi,topory,łuki,kusze i inne.

    GRAFIKA
    Wiadomo to nie jest nowa gra,ale grafika trzyma poziom i w pełni spełnia swoją role.

    Kto nie cieszył ryja za każdym razem widząc Diego albo nie pluł w monitor słysząc gdzieś w oddali Wrzoda ten pedał. I tyle. Wersja steam zawiera troche błędów technicznych ale wszystko da się naprawić jak ktoś rzeczywiście chce pograć. Dużym minusem wersji na platformie steam jest brak polskiej wersji językowej dzięki której Gothic tak bardzo wyrózniał sie lata temu.

Son zamanlardaki RPG lerden farklı olarak combat sistemi biraz sizin yeteneğinize ve tecrübenize bakıyor. Yani en basit bir canavarı bile keserken dogru sekilde guard almak gerekiyor.

    Bir şeyi söylemeden gecmeyeyim. Oyunun çok CİDDİ UYUMLULUK SORUNLARI var. Ben win 8.1 kullanıcısı olarak bir kaç saat uğraşarak sorunu hallettim.

Садитесь вокруг меня и слушайте внимательно. Жил да был один герой, который пока им ещё не стал, но он был избран с рождения. Так вот, бросили этого героя без имени и прошлого в темницу и приговорили его к смерти. Но, вместо казни его отправили на далекий остров Хоринис, на вечную каторгу. За барьер, войти в который мог каждый а выйти обратно не мог никто. Долина рудников, место ссылки всех преступников, вечная тюрьма из которой нельзя убежать. Там и оказался наш безымянный герой...

    Вот такое вступление и нужно делать! Подготавливая людей на положительные эмоции, можно начать и обзор к игре. Каждый слышал о Готике? И каждый играл в неё? Нет. Почему? Потому что Готика - эта игра не для всех. Это что-то, типа Dark Souls того времени. Готика очень сложная и трудная для новичка игра. Она не прощает ошибок, всё там пытается тебя обмануть, ограбить и убить. Первый встречный не спросит твоего имени и не поздоровается в стиле "Приветствую тебя путешественник". Самый первый встречный даст тебе в морду и только после этого скажет "Добро пожаловать в колонию".

    Сказать что Готика просто сложная, не сказать ничего. Тут даже есть боссы! Понимайте как хотите. Но здесь убить тролля или орка, это всё равно что убить Орнштейна и Смоуга в Дарк Соулс. Я ещё не раз буду сравнивать Готику с Дарк Соулсом, потому как, это две моих любимых игры. Ну и ещё, они и вправду чем то похожи.

    Когда я в первый раз забрёл в Новый Лагерь, меня встретили как подобает в Долине Рудников. Меня развели. Один индивид попросил меня просто и ясно "Мужик отнеси воды крестьянам на поле". Отлично сказал я! Квест! ПЛЮШКИ после выполнения, красивые колечки и экспа! ЩАС!!! Расхотелся - размечтался. Раздав всю воду, этот Лефти, сказал что я теперь и дальше буду каждый день разносить воду крестьянам. Драться с ним я был не готов. Но у меня остались сохранения, перезагрузка спасла меня от кабалы.

    После знакомства со всеми "особенностями" новой жизни, я стал понимать местный закон. И поэтому снова пришел к выводу - Готика игра не для всех. Здесь ты не герой, рубящий всех направо и налево. Тут простой кротокрыс и падальщик спустят тебя с небес и заставят думать головой, а не лететь сломя голову на всё что движется. Сейчас мода на симуляторы выживания? Что ж, попробуйте выжить здесь и тогда узнаете где действительно надо выживать, а не слушать сладкие диалоги о том, какой ты великий и непобедимый.

    Мой вердикт игре 100/100. Готика - эта лучшая РПГ игра, всех времен и народов!

    Gothic 1 & Gothic 2 are the best games in my life. Incredible, living, open world barely no loadings and unforgettable atmosphere, Piranha Bytes is my favourite studio, and I wish Gothic 4!

    The game began with the fact that they knocked me out, striking in the face. When I woke up, I realized that nothing good could be expected from the local community, therefore I pulled into the woods to hone my close fighting skills on roosters. Somewhat surprised that two roosters represented a serious danger to my life, I learned the Neo path and began to use the Matrix's vulnerabilities in order to fight evil creatures and even golems ... or to run away from them, which I also learned from a wandering acrobatics teacher. Once traveling the world, I met a hermit living in a rock cave. He told me an amazing and soulful story, from which I learned that he possesses a powerful artifact-magic ring. Killing him, taking the ring and finishing the joint, I went on. A little bit at a time, tripping over a huge stone, I fell into the cave, where I involuntarily disturbed the living skeletons. After killing them and taking the fire sword, I went back to the camp, realizing that my journey was coming to an end. On the way, the blacksmith forged armor for me, using the remains of formidable creatures that I had killed. Returning to the camp, holding a flaming sword in one hand and sending fireballs to the other, I finally found and punished my inhospitable offenders.
    ---------------------------------
    Игра началась с того,что меня вырубили, ударив в лицо. Очнувшись, я понял ,что от здешнего сообщества ничего хорошего ждать не приходится, посему рванул в чашу леса оттачивать навыки ближнего боя на петухах. Несколько удивившись, что два петуха представляют для моей жизни серьёзную опасность, я научился пути Нео и стал использовать уязвимости Матрицы, дабы бороться со злобными тварями и даже големами... или убегать от них, чему я также научился у странствующего учителя акробатики. Однажды путешествуя по миру я встретил отшельника живущего в пещере скалы. Он рассказал мне удивительную и душещепательную историю, из которой я узнал, что он обладает могущественным артефактом- магическим кольцом. Убив его, забрав кольцо и докурив косяк я отправился дальше. Чуть поодали споткнувшись о громадный камень, я упал в пещеру, где невольно потревожил живых скелетов. Убив их и забрав огненный меч я отправился назад в лагерь, поняв что моё путешествие подходит к концу. По дороге кузнец выковал мне доспехи, используя останки грозных тварей умертвшлённых мною. Вернувшись в лагерь, держа пылающий меч в одной руке и посылая шаровые молнии другой я наконец-то нашёл и покарал моих негостеприимных обидчиков.

    This game might be hard for a lot of people nowadays as it is unforgiving and doesn't lead you by hand. The controls are weird, but after you get used to them they are okay. The best thing is that a lot of quests can be done in many different ways.

    CONS:

    - Outdated graphics (understandable since the game is from 2001) - Clunky controls (you get used to it, but feels very weird at the start) - No crafting shortcuts (ex. if you want to grill 50 meat you have to go through "grilling" animation 50 times) - Navigating through the menu can be annoying PROS: - Great story - Absolutely immersive - Perfect map size (memorable

    - Navigating through the menu can be annoying

    PROS:

    - Great story
    - Absolutely immersive
    - Perfect map size (memorable world - quality>quantity approach)
    - No annoying cinematics
    - You can climb almost everything
    - Actions have consequences
    - Minimal loading screens (there are almost none)
    - Fighting animation improves / changes as you improve abilities (ex. at the start you hold one-handed sword with two hands, but after you learn ability you swing it better and hold it with one hand)
    - You learn abilities through teachers (as opposed through "magical" UI like in other RPG's *cough* Skyrim *cough*)
    - There are no "invisible walls" that you cannot go through, but instead, map boundaries are defined by smartly placed enemies that will kill you (if you cannot kill something it means you are not ready for it, and you should go other way and get stronger)
    - The map is an actual physical object that you have to buy, and some dangerous areas are left hidden in map because dangerous beasts live there so person giving you map doesn't know what is there (that section can be "unlocked" when you meet strong NPC who has been there - he draws it on your map)
    - One of the only games where NPCs actually help you out a lot, to the point where you actually wish to help them, same applies in reverse, some will bully you around and you will want to take revenge later (oh boy does it feel satisfying)
    - All of the side quests are carefully thought out and are equally interesting as the main quest
    - You can transform into different beasts making it possible to avoid certain enemies / enter secret locations (great for speedrunners / 2nd playthrough)
    - Enemies can get mad at you and stop talking to you
    - Actions have consequences!
    - Night and day cycle - guards have shifts, their own routine
    - You can do parkour (when you unlock "acrobatics" you can dash around and jump from building to building)
    - When you craft items you have to physically do the whole process (ex. a heating sword, hitting it with a hammer, dropping it in water, and sharpening it)
    - Lockpicking is very interesting - mini memory game
    - Chest items are not random but carefully put in depending on how hard it is to reach it
    - NPC's react when you walk into their house / pull out a weapon in the middle of the city
    - Animals don't attack you immediately but give you warning first / chance to go back

    The list goes on and on, but sadly my fingers started to hurt :P It's a game that literally comes once in 10 years (alongside Gothic 2, which is also amazing)

    Would recommend it to anybody! Just note that it is necessary to look for mods online because it is still 2001 game and needs some additional work to make it run on a modern system (Windows 7, 8, or 10). Thankfully there are some YouTubers who made this process trivial.

    The Gothic series, as I informally dub the 'Elder Scrolls of Europe', paved the way for many modern RPG classics, including Dark Souls, The Witcher, and darn near every modern European RPG as it stands today.

It's rare that you come across a game like this. Sure, the controls are weird, it's a bit dated graphically by today's standards, and it takes a little bit of work to get running in a stable manner on a modern PC. However, trust me, it's worth diving into.
    It's an open world RPG, and not only was it one of the first of its kind in many regards, the game was executed in such a brilliant manner that it absolutely holds up even today, despite its age. The full voice acting is teeming with charm and character. The dialogue is a wonderful and almost paradoxical combination of serious and human, and tongue-in-cheek and not-taking-itself-too-seriously. The NPC day/night and life cycles are more detailed than even many modern RPGs. Every action seems to have far-reaching consequences. The game doesn't hold your hand, doesn't give you a unicorn to ride on and a pretty waifu to e-date, the NPCs don't treat you with unanimous kindness. The whole atmosphere is very "f*** you", very unforgiving, and as an extension, very believable. The plot is twisty and surprising. The interface is very minimal, and puts nearly all emphasis on continuing immersion (think SOMA's interface, which does the same thing).
    I grew up on the Gothic series, and I've probably played through it 20 times since then, and really does hold its replay value even after that many playthroughs. It's an absolute masterwork in immersive, atmospheric storytelling, and if you're a fan of the RPG genre, please do yourself a big favor and give it a go.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's best RPG ever! Depressive atmosphere in new camp, strange atmosphere in old camp, and crazy, no...SANITY atmosphere in swapmy camp. unlike other RPGs, the main character is not welcomed by everyone and they don’t give him a bunch of quests and gifts, no, most of him are scornful and suspicious, it’s a pity that the series died and didn’t finish properly :( Expand

  1. With a novel, large and intricate set of societies, coupled with excellent graphics and sound, Gothic becomes one of the most immersive and believable single-play adventure/RPGs ever.
  2. The 3D engine looks unbelievably good! The surroundings are impeccable, and bear a surreal and depressive atmosphere. All the objects and buildings look just as great.

    Decent graphics and a well-developed storyline. It also has a great amount of replayability, as each time through the game could yield different experiences with different choices.
