One of the best sequels in gaming. Gothic II improves on nearly every aspect of the original Gothic though it carries forward one unfortunate staple of the series bugs. The story picks up directly after Gothic. The nameless hero (a running gag, as he’s always interrupted whenever he tries to introduce himself) has destroyed the barrier and freed the prisoners, but ended up trapped himself. His mentor, Xardas, rescues him in a weakened state after some time has passed, just as a new and greater threat emerges on the island of Khorinis. Meanwhile, on the mainland, the war against the orcs is going poorly, and the king has sent his paladins to secure as much magic ore as possible since magic weapons are humanity’s best chance. On Khorinis, the king’s increasing taxes have sparked uprisings among the people. The game shines in its characters, humor, and world. The story is excellent, full of twists and surprises, and it’s especially rewarding for players of the first game you’ll reunite with old friends and be hit with waves of nostalgia. Gothic II is a prime example of how to create memorable NPCs you genuinely care about. The lore and world building are expanded with more about the gods, faith, politics, and society. As before, you’ll need to choose a faction, and there are rumors of a hidden thieves’ guild not to mention a chance to revisit some familiar places. The world was massive for its time, and there’s plenty to explore, but beware you can wander into areas far too early, and you won’t be ready for what lurks there. Once again, bows are king in combat, and I’d recommend sticking with them. A new addition is the crafting system you can become an apprentice in a profession (you can dabble in several, but eventually must choose one). Weapon forging, animal gutting, potion brewing there’s plenty to experiment with. The leveling system remains the same earn XP, level up, then spend skill points to boost stats or learn abilities from trainers. A quick tip stats get more expensive after certain thresholds, so raise them just below the increase, then push them up in larger increments to save points. Overall, Gothic II is a classic that still holds up today. Its atmosphere, characters, and story continue to win players over. And with the Night of the Raven expansion released later and widely considered the ultimate Gothic experience (after patches, of course) the game became truly legendary. Gothic 3, hindered by development troubles, couldn’t live up to it, and Gothic 4 felt more like a name grab for a broader audience.

Not a rare opinion, but to me, this is the best open world RPG of all time.

THQ Nordic teaches us a very valuable lesson - corporate greed (even on a small scale) is very real. It's just pitiful. Nothing to add. Just pitiful. Players - do yourself a favour and buy a CD-Key instead. THQ Nordic uczy nas cennej lekcji - chciwość korporacyjna istnieje także na małą skalę. To po prostu żałosne. Nic do dodania. Żałosne. Gracze, kupcie sobie CD-Key z Internetów.

Gothic II is the perfect RPG for anyone who loves a good challenge, a touch of medieval fantasy, and plenty of what did I just get myself into? moments. The story follows the nameless hero, who, after surviving the events of Gothic 1, returns to a world filled with danger, shady merchants, and all sorts of weird, unpredictable characters. You’ll explore the beautiful but treacherous land of Khorinis, with its detailed world-building and immersive environments. You’ll get your butt kicked by bandits, wolves, and maybe even a rat or two. But don’t worry, you’ll get stronger eventually. And don't forget the complex choices, because nothing screams medieval fantas like choosing between joining factions that might stab you in the back at any moment. The expansion Gothic II: Night of the Raven is the cherry on top. It adds new areas, new enemies, and more ways to make your life miserable, all while throwing in some epic plot twists. And if you like to feel like a true hero, then getting knocked out by an ogre is definitely a memorable experience. Overall, Gothic II will test your patience, your combat skills, and your ability to navigate a world that’s as confusing as it is captivating. Prepare for a wild ride filled with sword fights, magic, and the occasional "Why did I choose this quest?" moment.
