Ferrago has reviewed Gothic. The high scores seen in german reviews and the first english reviews can be found here, too - the game was given a rating of 90%. Here's their conclusion:
To conclude, Gothic should be seriously considered by all fans of the genre, who will no doubt love the detailed world and surrounding story, that offer gamers large helpings of what made RPG’s great in the first place: a sense of discovery, and escapism in existing in an alternate world. This it does in exceptional style. It’s got a few minor flaws, and isn’t quite perfect; but as gaming experiences go, it’s one of the most immersive. Simply put, Gothic has to be seen and played to be fully appreciated. |
