00:00While you might not have heard of it as much as games like Morrowind or The Witcher series,
00:03Gothic is a similarly styled open-world RPG, praised just as highly by the fans that know.
00:07A challenging RPG, forcing you to master its combat controls and learn to survive
00:11its unforgiving nature as you've found your way. Which is why some 25 years later,
00:15it's a perfect candidate for a modern-day remake, rebuilding what made the original
00:19a seminal role-playing experience for the modern day. The story is unlike anything
00:23you're likely to have played before. You're locked up in the colony, a prison mine filled
00:27with the convicts and mages trapped behind a magical barrier that went wrong. There's
00:30nothing to save, protect or defeat here, just people trying to survive. However,
00:34you're no hero, which is another thing that makes Gothic stand out. Your character is just
00:38about as good at fighting as you are right now. You can't just grab a sword and start swinging,
00:43meaning you'll need to take your time to learn about the world and piece it all together.
00:46This is a game that's firmly in the not holding your hand camp of gameplay. You're going to need
00:50to pay attention to the world and the people you meet, which should be an exciting prospect for any
00:54RPG fan.
