Gothic 3 Reviews

Pirahna Bytes’ latest Gothic installment is the subject of three more somewhat mediocre reviews around the web. The first is at PALGN with an overall score of 6.0/10:

It’s a real shame that this game was released in its current state – possibly with a patch or two the game will be slightly more appealing. As for now, the game just feels so dull and a real letdown considering the game’s amazing detail and depth.

The second is at Gamers Europe with an overall score of 7.0/10:

Gothic 3 is a game that punches above its weight. To a certain degree it holds out well against competing RPG games but with so many bugs and lingering issues, it would be wise to hold off for a while until the dust settles. Piranha Bytes are working hard to make sure this game lives up to high expectations. With a little luck and a lot of work, Gothic 3 will find a place on many overflowing shelves.

And the third is at Fragland with an overall score of 74.5%:

The main character is nameless and that can’t be changed, in fact no part of him can really be changed, so creating you own character isn’t possible. The Orcs seem to have exterminated women too, because not much females are visible in the villages. The other villagers act like zombies. The biggest problem lies with what should have been improved: the fighting system. Usually the quicker one wins, regardless of power. Orcs are quite easy to beat, but ordinary animals like wolves and boars, that’s something else.
