Shorter and tighter than the game it follows: venom powers add real variation to combat, and a smaller winter New York with a more personal story avoids the padding of the original. Around eight hours. It reuses that map wholesale, and side activities are the same checklist the first game already exhausted.

An RPG built on a real dilemma: every citizen you drain gives large experience but permanently degrades their district, and the game is genuinely playable without killing anyone. The London setting and dialogue are strong. Combat is stiff and repetitive, and pacifist runs leave you badly underlevelled for bosses the game does not scale down.

Originally a handheld game, following Aveline through colonial Louisiana with a persona system that swaps her between three social identities to change who reacts to her. New Orleans and the premise are the interesting parts. It is short and visibly scaled down beside the console entries, the persona mechanic is more inconvenient than tactical, and the story thins out badly in its second half.

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.
