With a rating of 4/5 stars, it certainly is on the positive side. Here's a snippet: After struggling through some faltering baby steps, Gothic develops into a rich role-playing experience. Realism is paramount, from the need to make friends to having to get a good night's sleep in your hut. Forging alliances opens up quests that allow you to further develop your character, earn ore currency, and purchase ever-more powerful weapons, armor, and magical items. Monsters include role-playing standards such as goblins and the undead, along with more esoteric foes such as the dinosaur-like snapper. All of this is brought to life with 3D graphics that are attractive, if still a little blockier than the most advanced current releases. The game makes good use of what it has, however, with day and night sequences, dynamic weather, and some spectacular skies. The dialogue and voice acting is excellent (and includes enough swearing to make the Teen rating rather questionable), as is the understated musical score.
