Gothic II: Gold Edition for PC Reviews by Gamers

also dont expect to use your mouse to move or click.. yep no mouse option. graphic wise very poor and combat even worse. keep in mind gothic seris is a good play but ive found gothic 3 unplayable due to crashs and bugs this one runs.. but you'll feel like running away from it in the first 10 mins of playing.

Just rented Acania: Gothic 4 from here so I thought I would catch up on the story. Played Gothic 1 after finding out a friend actually still had his copy... Good, not great, but this was playing it YEARS after it originally came out so I was not expecting much. Gameplay was definitely easy to get a handle on and cheat guides were everywhere for the game already. I know, I know, you don't get the full experience from playing the game as a god, but I just wanted to get through it to catch up on the story. Gothic 2 didn't really improve much in terms of graphics. Still very enjoyable game and it felt longer than the original. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game through. Once again, I did play cheating, but in my defence, I just wanted to fly through the game to get the back ground on the series. I am wierd that way. Overall a great game in terms of being able to pretty much play the way you wanted to play. I picked up a bunch of ancillary side quests that were a fun interruption when I needed a break from the main storyline. Bottom line, I am now a Gothic fan!
