Yeah that’s true. None of the people that worked on the original Gothic games are still around. I think only Pankratz remains from the old days, but he was only tester IIRC.

Yes but the world design is very dull and they used to be an expert at this. Gothic 2 was incredibly immersive and gothic 3 looked fantastic for its time.

At least they’re still making proper RPGs.

great profile pic lol

I never played the first one, looked like a generic open world game with shetty gameplay and uninteresting enemy design (I fcking hate robots, they’re more boring than zombies). I bought the new one for graphics and the world design is very immersive.

How was the story here any less interesting as any other PB game which are all just rehashes of each other. Same can be said of every Daggerfall game. If anything I found the change in setting and addition of sci fi elements one of the best decisions they could have made.

90% of games listed here will never be considered a “classic” so not sure how that is some hot take.

Your critique is more predictable and boring than Elex story line. Simply replace Elex with Gothic 2, Gothic 3, Risen, Risen 2 in your post and you have every tiresome generic complaint about every PB release.

I mean how hard is it to make a good-looking gameplay mechanic driven threequel to 2013 Shadow Warrior? First they made a 2016 looter shooter sequel for some reason when the 2013 reboot had none of this crap. And now this sh*te?

Hard Reset despite having sweful movement and being quite boring was better than SW2 and SW3.

It’s because you did not learn to play. You found it too hard, like a games journalist.

Shadow Warrior 3 replacing the main voice actor months before release… = NO
