I normally don’t write reviews about games, but seeing all the negative reviews on retrolio and elsewhere, i wanted to say something.First off, STOP comparing this game and all other rpg swordplay games to Oblivion! Yes, compared to oblivion, this game sucks balls. But, this game isn’t oblivion. Accept that and you will begin to like this game.The GOOD:Nice Difficulty Range: This game has a nice difficulty range, meaning that both an uncoordinated newb can play it as well as any rpg legend and still have a nice challenge. I started out on normal and found that it was too easy. Enemies attacked too slowly and seemed like they had to think about whether or not they wanted to swing at me. After i switched to hard, things started to heat up. Enemies attacked more ferociously and when they got near death began doing their special attack non-stop. An enemies special attack is indicated by a flash of light right before they attack with it and is unblockable. That combined with the hard difficulty meant me having to diveroll out of the way A LOT. I actually enjoyed the change of pace. Dodging out of the way of a potentially deadly attack and then striking back before your opponent can recover and killing them is highly satisfying. I might try the game again on Gothic difficulty once i beat it, which at the moment seems like it would be impossible.Plenty of Weapons and Items: Like most rpg’s, there are a lot of weapons and items to gather and use. There are two-handed weapons that deal.

The story line leaves alot to be wanted but, the game itself is fun, challenging and large. Lots of playable quests and hours of enjoyment!

I’ve never played any of the Gothic franchise on PC, but I’ve always heard people rave about how great the games were and about how open-ended and immersive they were. The most open-ended and immersive game I’ve ever played on a console was Oblivion and I loved it (still do from time to time), so I was curious when I heard that this was coming to the Xbox 360.Now, from what I understand, this game takes a step away from the previous games in the franchise in order to, 1.) Appeal to a wider range of players than just the ‘hardcore’ ones devoted to Gothic and its particular quirks and, 2.) Give a company other than Piranha Bytes a chance to show what it can do with the Gothic title. Piranha Bytes took their original concept, tinkered with it a little bit and came up with Risen (itself an excellent game) and I’ve read that THAT one is almost exactly in the same vein as the original Gothic, albeit optimized for the console systems. Playing both, I can tell you there is a huge difference between these two.I can see many players of Gothic dissing this game for taking such a departure from the originals and I can understand their point; if something’s not broke, don’t fix it. Still if you take this game and judge it on it’s own merits (and I think that’s what Jowood was trying to do by listing the main title here as ‘Arcania: Gothic 4’ instead of being JUST ‘Gothic 4’), it’s really not a bad one at all if you’re the type that enjoys western-style fantasy roleplaying games.GAMEPL.

I believe you’ll read a lot of bad reviews of this game. The reason is not the game itself, but a situation around it. Pyranha Bites, a developer of Gothic sreies, had to give away the right to make this game after a nasty legal dispute with its former publisher, JoWood. After that PB went to develop a new title, Risen, and JoWood hired a european developer SpellBound to make a next Gothic title, Arcania. Fans of Gothic (and there are a lot of us, mostly in Germany, Russia, and Poland) were pissed beyond measure. From the beginning a lot of people were agains Arcania just because of this reason. They openly wished this game never be published and JoWood go bankrupt. So please perceive this egativity for what it is. I am a Gothic fan, but there are limits, you know. It is not decent to talk crap about the game just to make publisher to loose money, and it is not fair to a very decent game. Some german folks even show up here to write bad reviews. So take it for what they are.Yes, a lot of elements from Gothic games have been lost, so Arcania is Gothic in title only, but the game itself is quite charming, actually. You will get a big (semi)opened world (each new section of the island opens after you complete the main quiest), but these sections are very big, so you won’t feel claustrafobic. The world is great, actually. Beautiful sunrises ans sunsets, very well done architecture (castles are really superb), so you will enjoy just being there. At least I hope you will, because I.

I really enjoyed this game. It is not an open ended RPG like I had hoped. The game is very linear, however, it offers about 30 hours of game play and good graphics. Don’t expect it to by anything like Skyrim or Oblivion, even though it looks and plays similar to these games. Those games offer 100s of hours of play.The game also has some areas that you cannot enter. I looked around the net and found others asking the same questions and all I could find in the forums is that entry is impossible.

It’s like skyrims younger cousin. Not as long. Not as involved. Still pretty good.Ever since skyrim I have been searching for the next best thing. A bit of hope with this game. About 25 hours, interesting characters, pretty good customization. I liked it.
