Mogło być perfekcyjnie... ale jest jak jest.

Co jest ok:
- Dużo mechanik które o których sam myślałem że fajnie byłoby wprowadzić, zanim jeszcze wypuszczali trailery do neta.

Co jest nie ok:
- Wszystko
- Powiedzieć że reszta jest nie ok to jak nie powiedzieć nic. Spierdolone koncertowo po prostu.
- Performance jest tragiczny, gra jest praktycznie nie grywalna chyba że lubisz tekstury bez jakichkolwiek detali.
- Masa bugów
- Nasrane DLC, a gra działa jak działa
- Gra jest totalnie niezbalansowana
- Developerzy to nadęte buce.

Nie pozdrawiam Paradoxu i devów.

It has a Gothic vibe, and looks like part of Gothic world, especially when you compare it to playable teaser.

Good things:
- THE BEST PART OF THIS DEMO FOR ME IS MUSIC. Kai and whole team responsible for music did a really great job by refreshing old tracks. It feels like you are playing original gothic but with some new fresh tones.
- I like how the environment looks like. There is many details, and props are placed around the map in a way that they do not distract you from immersion. Also background, and mountains far behind new camp looks great to me. It looks like real valley.
- Armors are good looking and similiar to original ones. You won't have any issues with knowing who belong to which camp.
- I like that they added visible slots for Armor, jewelry and weapons. You can instantly see what is equppied right now.
- Polish voiceovers are prefect. Sounds exactly like in original. Dialogs also are pretty good so far.
- I think that animations when NPCs mind their own buisness are pretty ok. I really liked how they looked during last dialog.
- I like aim mechanic for bows. It gives you more freedom in range combat and feels pretty ok.

Bad things:
- Diego is an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. In original Gothic for me he was more like nice uncle.
- Water looks and behaves like snot / goo.
- When you start to move you need to get some momentum and it has wierd feeling
- Melee combat need some improvemnts. It is not that bad, but it is not great neither.
- When focusing on item you only see "pick up" icon, but there is no name of the item.
- There is some curses in dialogs. I hope they won't put much of them in final product, and they rather will go the way with sharp jokes like it was done in original Gothic.

Performance:
- 0 Crashes
- 0 Bugs
- Around 30 FPS (3840x2160, Settings preset: medium)

Hardware:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
GPU: RTX 3070 Ti
RAM: 32 GB
Disc: SSD

I do not have strongest GPU for playing in 4K, but probably there is a lot of room for optimization improvements. However overall the performance is quite good for me.


Summary: The game still needs some improvements but it looks like we are on the right track. I can't wait to see what full version will bring. Looking how this demo changed when compering to playable teaser, the game can be very good. I hope that all of you filled up survey after demo ending, so devs will be able to improve Gothic 1 Remake.

There is 0 performance. On lowest settings and 20560 x 1440 resolutions it is working like something that your dog is sometimes doing on the grass. You can use FSR or DLSS but it does not give you much, graphics is a lot worse even in quality mode and there is no huge fps gain.

I am not sure if it is only my issue because I didn't see any review about that, but I am from Europe, and I chose both West and East server. I experienced huge lags, looking like I have 200+ ping but I had something around 40-80. I literally was moving back while running, and NPCs died after whole AK magazine was shoot into him.

Also the funny part is, almost all my deaths was caused by firendly fire :)

There is no way to experience anything in this game despite shuttering, lags, and low FPS, so I have no opinion on PVE or PVP.
Propably I will comeback in the future, to see If they manged to make this game playable, but for now IMAO I waste my money.

And for all kids with RTX 4090 and 128GB that are talking we have sh*ty PC's: Go touch the grass.
