A Gothic sequel by a different studio that traded the series' hostile, systems-heavy world for a conventional open-world action RPG with accessible combat and a clear quest structure. Taken on its own terms it is a competent, slightly janky European RPG. Taken as Gothic it is widely rejected, and the PC build still has unresolved resolution and display bugs on current Windows.
