A huge disappointment
Bad voice acting makes the game annoying when you listen to sad parts of it. Also, the fight system is really annoying because you only need to roll forward and backwards to avoid the blows from the enemy. The story is w... Read Full Review

Gothic for Dummies, but not bad
First off I want to start by saying I have played all the Gothic's from 1 - 4. I loved 1 and 2... 3 was horrid until the community patch came out. I loved 3 after the patch... but still buggy as hell. Now onto our c... Read Full Review

A step backwards, tripping then tumbling down a steep hill
There are two ways to review this game. As the last addition to my favorite RPG game series, Gothic, or as the completely new game that it is. Rating it as a Gothic game would give it a disastrous score, as it is plai... Read Full Review

Gothic died, long live Risen
For me, Gothic died right after the second installment. 3 was a mess, this one is a total letdown :( ...what a shame. I expected so much from this release, I looked forward to it as the one that fixes the mistake that ... Read Full Review

Don't think of this as a Gothic RPG, think of it as a new series Action RPG. This game has fun action with an RPG story.
Unlike the typical early purchaser of this title I disliked Gothic 3 and hadn't played previous releases in the series. I reckon most of my dislike of Gothic 3 was because my first attempt at playing it was early this y... Read Full Review

Don't listen to the haters, this is a great game.
I have played Gothic 3, and Risen ( a spiritual sequal to Gothic) and this is the best one. First off, this is game's main strength is its combat. Don't expect an epic story or even an huge world, the combat is the sho... Read Full Review

Great game, awesome graphics - have had a lot of fun so far - the addition of a map+marker is quite frankly, a blessing
Great game, awesome graphics, and nice fighting engine - have had a lot of fun so far - the addition of a map+marker is quite frankly, a blessing (I hated gothic 3 because of the lack of it). What may be a little lack... Read Full Review

Not really Gothic, but…
Not really Gothic, but that's not to say it's a bad game. I am a ways into it, I just got the pass to Silverlake from the Baron of Stewark. So far, I am enjoying the game. I played the demo and read some reviews before b... Read Full Review

disappointed after a long wait
When I first heard that Jowood and Piranha Bytes split up and that Spellbound was going to make the next Gothic, I was expecting a disappointment. And I wasn't disappointed. Other than beautiful graphics, the gam... Read Full Review

Rent it, see it, try it, uninstall it and give it back!!!
First of I have to say that this game shouldn't have Gothic 4 in its name. Why first off I think its a trick to sell more copies of the game to the Gothic fans and it fails hard. This game would sell better as Arcani... Read Full Review
