Gothic is a famous series of role-playing games from the German company Piranha Bytes, the first part of which was released back in 2001. It tells about the adventures of a certain nameless hero, sent to the mines for some crime (the players will never be able to find out what it was for). It was after the idea of destroying the barrier that prevents people from escaping from the mines that his story begins.
The first two parts of Gothic, according to some fans of the genre, are one of the best role-playing games of that decade, which are still relevant among gamers. Unfortunately, many players did not like the third part, and Arcanum (the fourth game) is not at all considered to be part of the main series.
After this series, the Piranha Bytes company began creating another series, somewhat similar to Gothic - Risen.
