   One of the best RPGs I've ever played. First time I tried it I was so mesmerized by this stunning game that I couldn't stop playing. The atmosphere is just amazing. Fairly interesting story, but the most rewarding was the exploration, in whatever order YOU desired. And no level scaling, thank god! I wish more games would let you play the game as you feel like. There are several factions in the game which means you can play the game several times and not get bored. As for the negative review; this player seems to be one of the casual players of the CoD era that wants directions and pointers showing exactly where to go at all times, in my opinion that is what's boring...… Expand

   Can someone explain why nobody who gave a negative rating, could be arsed to actually write a review? Few words at least? Care to explain why hate it so much? No? I suppose those are trolls and probably multi-accounts, and not real players. This game is brilliant and deserves 9/10 (but i give 10 to counter those trolls), its one of best RPGs i've played, even to this day, and a big part of my childhood.… Expand

   It's a very intriguing and addictive game which could have been better. It's big with lots of quests although kind of difficult at start. It has nice graphics and music that make a convincing "Gothic" environment. Menus and interaction are too simplistic unlike other rpg's. Overally a very good game for rpg fans.… Expand

   Looks like all of the negative scores don't have any reviews, so I'll be brave and post the first one. Only tried the game out recently and was hoping it'd be an improvement over the first Gothic. As a matter of fact, there were some improvements. The controls are a bit better now and aren't as tricky as in the first game. Also the story carries on from the first right away and I generally thought that the music and the atmosphere were as good as in the first one. However, nothing else had improved. In fact, in terms of pacing it got even worse. Much worse. Now you're thrust right into a huge city without any direction as to what to do. Or in fact, you are told to go and do x, y, and z. However, when you try to find out how to get those tasks done, the game just shrugs and tells you to find it out by yourself. Now this is incredibly boring. Do I have to go around and talk to every NPC in the city in a hope that at least one of them can tell me something useful? I understand open gameplay and all, but it still needs some direction. If the game isn't going to bother to captivate and immerse me, then why should I continue to plough on, hoping that eventually it would get interesting? It's just incredibly slow paced. If you are someone who wants to get right into the game and do interesting stuff, then I'd avoid Gothic 2 for sure. Now I've still got Gothic 3 left. I'm just hoping at least that would be an improvement over 1 and 2.… Expand
