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.

On reception: its Steam reviews are mixed, against mostly positive for Mirthwood.

Web-swinging is the whole appeal here, and it works: momentum carries between buildings without breaking, and the city is built to be crossed rather than walked. Combat is Arkham-style freeflow, simplified. The open world is thin — collectibles and repeated crime events fill it, and the indoor stealth missions stop the traversal dead every time they appear.

The series returns to high-speed action after a long absence: fast, aggressive combat built around a new protagonist rather than Ryu, with more forgiving systems than the notoriously brutal earlier entries. Fans of the older games are the ones who bounce off it — the moveset and structure read closer to Metal Gear Rising than to Ninja Gaiden II, and Ryu is barely playable for most of the run.
