Arcania: Gothic 4 User Review

Skarn

Lots of potential...hoping for an extensive patch.

Difficulty:
Easy
Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Disappointing"
As a lover of the Gothic series (with the possible exception of the rather buggy Forsaken Gods), I was very disappointed with this game. The storyline was OK but linear, side quests were mostly kill/find x number of y. There were some difficult battles but a large use of magic ended most fights before the enemy even got near me, magic was too overpowered and once again, missile weapons were way underpowered.

The thing I hated most was the teleport system. You couldn't go back to a region via teleport, but you could spend several minutes running there. A linked teleport system would have raised my interest level.

I had been looking forward to this for several months but was sorely dissapointed with the final product. In my opinion, the game was delivered too buggy and graphics intensive.

  2. Can be a fun game. All it takes is a light approach and not having an expectation that it is actually a Gothic game.

    Because of Fraps, the FPS is about 10 FPS lower then the actual gameplay, but still you can see how hardware hungry this thing is. Still, it features great graphics.
