It's not all bad, but we'd like a bit more good too ......

Arcania: Gothic 4 tries to recapture gamers with the Gothic series with what at first appears more stream-lined play, pretty graphics, and an enhanced story. What we get is incredibly generic across all platforms, a leveling system that feels gutted...

It should be immediately known that Arcania: Gothic 4 isn’t really a Gothic game. It is developed by Spellbound studios rather than Piranha Bytes, who developed the previous Gothic installments. Because of this, it’s not all that surprising...

It's a misleading title. Arcania: Gothic 4 should be entitled, Arcania: Gothic: A New Beginning. Sure I know "A New Beginning" is trite, but this is not a true continuation of the series; it's a tangent. The storyline progresses, building on the...

Allekirjoittaneella ja Piranha Bytesin Gothic-roolipelisarjalla pitkä ja vaikeasti selitettävä suhde. Se on samalla ollut alkuajoistaan asti todella viihdyttävä, mutta samalla aiheuttanut lukuisia frustraation hetkiä....

Gothic ist für Einsteiger ein guter Grund, mit Rollenspielen zu beginnen (trotz etwas lahmer Story). Gothic Veteranen werden sich freuen, altbekannte Gesichter wie Diego und Gorn wiederzusehen. Fortgeschrittene Rollenspieler werden sich vielleicht...

Selten habe ich in einem Test so viele Emotionen verarbeiten müssen. Was hier geschehen ist, zeugt vom Niedergang einer großen Marke. Ob die Gothic-Reihe jemals wieder an die hervorragenden ersten beiden Teile anknüpfen kann, scheint nach...
