GamingXpress has posted a review of Gothic, Piranha Bytes' action RPG that had so little exposure in the US after its release (but was highly acclaimed in Germany, where it was made). GamingXpress rates Gothic 9/10 and had this to say in the conclusion:
Having completed the game, I can honestly give it two thumbs up. The developers really should have done more with the ending, but considering how much meat was in the game 99% of the time, I can't detract marks for that oversight.
If you enjoy story-driven RPGs, like Deus-Ex, Planescape: Torment or Baldur's Gate 2, there is no excuse for not having Gothic in your RPG library. It is a fine piece of work that should rival Wizardry 8 for RPG of the year 2001. |
