Jun 15, 2026I am happy to announce that I am a new fan! I was willing to adapt to what the developers wanted me to experience, and even to the hours I lost due to bugs. Gothic is an open-world action RPG that I want to recommend to everyone without an asterisk. It’s a fantastic and beautiful world, filled with challenging enemies, engaging gameplay, and a sense of wonder I haven’t felt in a long time. However, playing on console was less than ideal, and in my opinion, it should’ve been released only on PC as a timed exclusive so that a proper console version could be released later. I feel like I’m saying this too often lately, but this game is a must-play for fans of this genre. Just wait a bit until it’s been ironed out.

Jun 17, 2026Gothic 1 Remake honors the classic by maintaining and improving its core elements. The slow progression is compensated by a clear evolution of the hero, while the challenging combat and dark setting shine in the new graphics engine. However, Unreal Engine 5 introduced bugs and performance drops that await correction. Furthermore, the chest-cracking minigame is excessively complex for the title's purpose.

Jun 17, 2026Technical issues aside, Gothic 1 Remake is a faithful recreation of a beloved early 2000s classic. A fun, nostalgic adventure that is as punishing as it is janky.

Jun 20, 2026Gothic 1 Remake succeeded in preserving the spirit of the original game more than attempting to fully modernize it - a decision that gave it a unique identity but also left many of its old issues intact. As a result, the experience carries a special charm for longtime fans, yet it suffers from clear flaws that prevent it from reaching the level it could have achieved had it dared to redesign some of its core foundations.

Jun 11, 2026The Gothic remake is sure to appeal to long-standing hardcore fans, despite its quirks, but newcomers should be fully aware of what they’re getting themselves into. Namely, an atmospheric hardcore role-playing game with plenty of rough edges – but also plenty of charm.

Jun 5, 2026The PS5 version of Gothic 1 Remake is held back by performance woes, but underneath this lies an iconic RPG with deeply immersive gameplay. For new players, it's hard to recommend the PS5 version in its current state, whereas fans who can look past the graphics and 30 FPS limit may find appreciation in this blast from the past.

Jun 5, 2026Smudged on all sides with technical bugs, crashes, audio failures and performances mishaps, the best of Gothic 1 Remake's qualities only just manage to shine through the grime. While there's a truly compelling game nestled under the surface, this nugget of ore needs more sprucing up before it's ready to be sold on.
