Gothic

Gothic was my very first game on PC, this undoubtedly left its mark and now I may be a little biased. But nevertheless, I will without a doubt recommend it to every RPG fan or just people who like games that have their own atmosphere.

This is one of the few games in which the world is truly alive. I won't talk about quests or plot. But here you can approach literally any character and ask about the world, and the answers of two different characters will be different, one will tell you, the other will send you to hell.

The atmosphere of the game is also enhanced by the wonderful music of Rosencrantz; in the TES series, of course, there is a main musical theme, but here, for each location there are 4 themes. Day\\night and peaceful\\combat. And all this music simply delightfully conveys the s… Read full

Without a doubt one of the best RPGs ever created. Although it is compact compared to any current representatives of this genre, Piranha has always extracted the maximum advantages from this: development and atmosphere.

A very atmospheric "RPG" in the spirit of dark fantasy.

I recommend it to all fans of the genre!

One of the best games of its time and the gaming industry in general.

An almost perfect combination of mechanics, design and execution (taking into account the year of production, of course).

Memories of how hard it was to bring down the first mole rat and how brazenly the guards of the old camp extorted the last penny are intricately intertwined with escapes from skeletons and the nightly ridding of local NPCs of unnecessary goods.

Moreover, sometimes nostalgia rolls in with such force that one’s hands themselves reach out to start the good old first Gothic, in order to be transported for a few dozen more magical hours to the painfully familiar and dear world of Myrtana, orcs, bandits and magic ore.

An excellent Old-RPG with its own small *cozy* world, where there is a huge amount of hostile fauna, represented by ugly birds, reptiles and other evil spirits eager to tear you apart. People here are also often willing to give you a good beating. Even those NPCs who seem to be non-hostile towards you treat you with contempt, and some will constantly demand payment just so that you are not strangled at night.

Despite the fact that the game is about 20 years old, it still looks extremely good.

Convenient combat and resource collection system.

Not a bad plot
